I also believe soccer players are in the best physical shape in any sport...and soccer is really violent sport...with crazy tackles...and crazy fouls... watching one UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GAME...and the way these cats play... and it's unlikely to see them injured...
You cannot tell me basktball and NBA is tougher sport than soccer. So many injuries in the NBA but so little in the soccer...this doesn't add up...
Watching one soccer tackle, where a defender takes down forward, it looks like he will never walk again the way he's fouled yet...he gets up and brushes it off...
Basketball has their pansies for sure, but don't start telling people soccer is this tough sport where players walk away from injuries. You're not talking about Rugby or Hockey where they'll play after they get 25 stitches to the face.
If you followed soccer you'd know there are a ton injuries throughout the course of a season.
