Despite the crappy (and yet deserved) reputation the diving sissies give it, soccer's a pretty hard sport to play well. A good player requires pretty much every sports skill out there....stamina, technique, mental creativity, and physical skill. Mix in the fact that you're doing this on a giant field for 45 minutes at a time, it's hard to beat.

I only play pick-up soccer and am admittedly not that good, but man can it be take a lot out of me. That constant stop-and-go is the toughest part imo.
