Alexi Lalas Says Usain Bolt Not Cut Out for MLS, Zlatan Ibrahimovic Partnership

Alexi Lalas has said eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt doesn't have the quality to make it in Major League Soccer, adding his ego would make a team-up with Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Los Angeles Galaxy untenable.

The Jamaican sprinter recently finished training with German giants Borussia Dortmund, but Lalas told TMZ he isn't convinced a short spell with the Bundesliga outfit is enough for Bolt to survive in MLS:

"Just because you're a good athlete doesn't mean that you're good at a particular sport.

"I don't doubt that he can kick the ball and that he's fast, but soccer's a lot different than just being fast and able to kick the ball.
