As you might expect, most (50-80%) soccer injuries affect the feet and legs. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics concluded that the contact that occurs while playing soccer is at the same level as during boxing, football, ice hockey, lacrosse, rodeo and wrestling and field hockey.
Head injuries account for between 4% and 22% of all soccer injuries. Can this contact cause brain damage? Let's look at the data.

A concussion may occur when someone's head strikes an object. A person with a concussion may lose consciousness or suffer memory loss and appear confused. In soccer, concussions make up 2-3% of all injuries. This is the same rate as for American football!

"it's really not that much of an issue"

The sport of soccer wants to keep people such as yourself uninformed. You don't think the correct info regarding head injuries in soccer won't affect a fair amount of soccer moms? Remember, many have been pushing the idea that more moms will be pushing their kids to soccer instead of football because of that issue. Uh...........
