You very clearly have never played competitive soccer at any level... especially when saying guys essentially playing on concrete with no padding for 90 mins are pussies compared to guys who play in 30-40 lbs of padding and get breaks every minute or so. Soccer takes a massive toll on the body, most of those high speed collisions and tackles would take any "red blooded male" out for a good while, and if you don't believe me, ask a doctor or physiotherapist. (Of course, there are a lot of divers and that is shameful, but tell me with a straight face that it never happens in hockey.. to me there's nothing more shameful than a guy wearing a visor collapsing to the ice grabbing his face when a stick grazes them, or fails to connect at all).
