The thing about soccer is, the games are tooooo long. 90 minutes of kicking the ball around is way too much. I think it should be sudden death. First team to score wins. Every game!

Maybe you schould stay out of this threadIs God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

I do admit that it is much more exciting to play than it is to watch.Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

Maybe if you count broken nails as an injury... Tennis is a sport with a high injury rate (turned ankles and 'tennis elbow'), it doesn't mean it's a rough sport though.
No it was based on severe sprains and broken bones. It's baseball players that sit out with hangnails.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

You guys think it's confusing in the states? Come to Australia, where you will get reeeeally confused!
We also call football soccer, or to be politically incorrect - "wogball" The reasons are the same for the yanks, only we have two games called football!! In Victoria, South and Western Australia, and the inbreds we call "Tasmanians", plus NT, football is Aussie Rules, which is fair enough considering how much kicking is involved, while in New South Wales and Queensland, football is Rugby League, which is a bit strange because kicking is not the main part of the game. Then again, the Yanks have it even more wrong as they kick even less than in League! To make things even more confusing, Aussie Rules and Rugby League asre both affectionately referred to as "footy".
I must say i laugh at hearing the Yanks say how rough Aussie Rules is when they see it, which is only a fraction of how tough Rugby League is. Rugby League is more like American Football, without the padding and stoppages. I guess that shows where Gridiron is on the list of toughest games
I must say though, that the claim of injuries being 10:1 in favour of the cheerleaders is crap, even for Gridiron I'm sure the American footballers don't count broken fingernails as an 'injury' I don't know about American Football, but in League, anything short of broken bones and ligament/tendon damage doesn't count. All players routinely carry numerous small injuries into every game.
