LMAO at this thread and all the haters..
I'm a fan of both sports, played both sports, and find all these non-sports pussies commenting so hard quite laughable.
Half of the morons talking up football, are probably those typical aholes who know ever stats, every player, every fucking thing about the game but rarely if ever played. Yeah, I have plenty of friends like that, pussies who never played anythinmg, but they sure have a big yapper..
Soccer, especially at a highly competitive level, is "as rough" as any other sport involving a ball, and more dangerous than most. However, I fail to agree that a sport gains popularity because it's regarded as "tough". Two of the world's biggest sports are Soccer and Cycling, I guess everyone thinks Lance Armstrong is a pussy too?
