id like to see people that talk crap about soccer actually try and play a 90 minute game...thats 45 minutes of playing a 10 minute break, then another straight 45, then possible overtime....no breaks, only real men can play soccer 
really pumped for this game sunday |
First off, no.
MOST High School football in non stop. There is no breaks for commercials, and most people play both sides of the ball, I know I did.
I never got a "break". I had to push 230-300lb people out of my way, or tackle 180-200lb fast moving targets, not to mention trying to do both with 21 other people around me. And we do that for 3 hrs straight, with a 20 min break in between.
As for professional football, its 100x more taxing Im sure. People are faster, stronger, and its much more complicated.
Im not going to downplay soccer, but dont downplay football.
Basketball is not a tough sport? Its the most injury filled sport out there. Its sprinting up and down the court, 5 guys chasing 5 guys. No goalie, no defensivemen that can sit back and watch...its sprinting up and down the court over and over and over again.
Soccer is not all that bad. I could run for 90 mins staright no problem in hs, my problem would be the tallent aspect. Local "Shore Conference" football is not filled with big D1 type people, not a lot of massive dudes with tons of strength. All the guys I played along side ran on both sides of the ball, non stop for 3 hours, or more.
