There IS hitting though, which is why so many of these attacks are ungrounded. It's not an actual wrap-me-up tackle, but it's a sort of violence. I'm serious, just watch a game on tv one day. Guys go shoulder-to-shoulder, trying to throw the other off the ball, many times using elbows or arms or whatever. And perhaps when the ref isn't looking, you may dig your cleat into the other guy's toe, or stick a thumb in someone's ass, just to let him know your there. Lol, this is only shit that's been done to me, and I'm only an American playing at a sub-par college level. Pay attention to the challenges in the air. Fuck, those are downright MEAN. I had my eyelid torn open a few years ago because some nut tried kicking the ball, missed, and hit me. Why would anyone want to watch one play, have it fizzle out completely, then listen to John Madden babble for 1-2 min. while they set up the next play. PLEASE. Soccer, exciting or not, is non-stop action. For that reason alone, one MUST have a lung capacity that can break records. And endurance is a large part of what an athlete must have. Being able to bench 700lbs does little for your body, also. You're better off doing pushups. Bench is a very unnecessary lift, just so you know.

And LoL, you saying more chicks playing soccer says something IS true. It says you might be a sexist pig with a narrow mind??
