I just think the majority of soccer players arent all that tough
I dont have a problem with it...I play basketball and love the sport...and I think alot of basketball players are pussies
But I do hate it when soccer fans try and talk about how badass soccer players are compared to football or hockey, when in reality they arent.
Just look at football kickers...

african teams fake it alot as well. if someone steps on your foot its not going to bleed.
although if they catch your shin with cleat spikes that hurts.

then consider the thickness of kangaroo leather, typically what higher quality cleats/boots are made out of: pic here, too big to post in thread
then take a guy that steps on your big toe and splits it down the middle, erupting blood and leaving a deep tissue bruise over the arch of your foot despite the fact that only the toe was struck. you have to play the next several weeks with only a latex bandage and some cotton around your toe for protection
the injury itself appears to very subtle on television as if the player just "nicked" the other one, and you might get annoyed with how "dramatic" he's acting, painfully clutching at his foot.
but most likely he has to take a pair of plyers after the game and finish ripping a toenail out.
okay, so that's not every "injury" you see in soccer, but stud-to-foot fouls are often very painful. and I do agree there are lots of dives and histrionics, but the "soccer is for pussies" is just tired and uncreative when you consider the conditioning and athletic prowess involved in the sport
Would you like me to explain injuries ive had or have witnessed playing football and basketball, in great detail?
I could write a fricken book

never seen or heard that.
silly to compare athletes between sports. but there's plenty of finesse and skill to go around in soccer, and in that regard I think that makes them very skillful and "badass" in a sense of doing impressive things with their speed and skill on the ball

Every team takes dives, some just have a worse rep then others. Granted Mexican soccer is just brutal to watch because of the poor theatrics, but having played soccer for 20 years and going through 6 concussions 4 broken ankles and 2 dislocated shoulders I would hardly say its a sport for pussies. Not as brutal as football or hockey though not even close

Every athlete who doesn't play football is a pussy!!! Are you in high school?

just offering my 2 cents on a large majority of injuries. having played the sport all my life I feel that there are alot of ignorant opinions from people who disinterestedly pontificate on a sport they watch for 2 minutes at a time.
it doesnt have the physicality of football. but also football players are fricking pussies compared to rugby players.

2nd dumbest thing i've ever seen on this site. The contact in football and rugby is much different. Wearing pads football players would do things they wouldn't do without pads. The injury rate is much higher in football than rugby.This post was edited on 2/6/10 at 4:49 pm

the 10 inch scar on my leg from a broken femur agrees with this
