Chelsea goalkeeper gets injured and they wrap him in a blanket as he walks off the field 
one of my favorites is when they squirt water on an injury

its not water, its some spray that numbs the pain.Comment -
soccer players are pussies compared to the real sportsComment -
Guys I like soccer, but why would they wrap him in a blanket, is it cold in Madrid?Comment -
How can you compare the physicality of hockey to soccer!?Comment -
all the sht talking I wanna see someone run for 90 mins straight covering 15-20 kilometers while attempting to control the ball, jump, tackle, defend and score.Comment -
come on, guise!!!...Apples and Oranges!!...Hockey players don't have snipers shooting at them every 5 minutes like they do in soccer!

Rugby...Comment -
Soccer is the toughest sport to play. All of you will die if you have to run for 10 miles in 90 minutes and try to pass the ball, take a shot or play defense.Comment -
im not sure how you wanna measure toughness but im sure soccer takes it. even if you wanna go straight up fighting im sure the top 20 soccer players vs top 20 hockey id bet on soccerComment -
Christis Anesti my friend!
They are giving yellow cards now for diving so you see less of it. All sports have acting and drama. Hockey players exaggerate the hits taken and trip on themselves all the time to try get a penalty called. Same as basketball.Comment -
Anyone who wants to argue that hockey isn't tougher than soccer... we can go on and on.
Hockey is one brutal sport.
Soccer you have to be in amazing shape... but I don't see a soccer players head smashed up into the glass from a heavy check into the boards. I think Rugby is the most brutal sport around.Comment -
Guys this has turned into a thread bashing soccer which was not my intention, I really like soccer
I just think its strange how the money is so huge in soccer now but the onfield treatment of injuries seems like something a witch doctor would do. i mean throw a blanket on him? is that like those thundershirts they have for skiddish dogs?
Also, i would love to see some soccer player/hockey player octagon matchups. hockey players tougher and better chins but soccer players have cardio and could land some devastating kicksComment -
I wouldn't call soccer the toughest sport, however you definitely see some hard tackles, blows to the head a couple of times a game.Comment -
Love both, soccer and hockey, my two favorite sports.
No question that normally hockey is the more "brutal" sport.
But: at least you have a helmet and some big fukkin pads etc.
When a soccer tackle or foul goes wrong it hits your body directly.
You see some mean injuries in both sports all the time though, no point arguing about that.
Both are beautiful sports in every aspect of the game.
I never get all this "blabla is better than blabla" shit when it comes to sports. You don't like it -> don't watch it. I never watch golf (like to play it though), watch baseball two or three times a year, watch football from time to time. Would I bash the sport though? Hell no, I'm sure lots of guys love it. To each his own, no problem. I watch soccer (football) and hockey all the time, but I'm sure it's boring to some. Who cares.Comment -
Put 11 blacks on a soccer field Americans will be a World Cup winners
These foreign countries would be scared to death of the black man and the physicality they bringComment -
Bring on the Black Americans with no skill, against French-Africans with skill.Comment -
This thread is turning into a war just what I wantedComment -
this 17 year old soccer player is probably tougher than 17 yr old hockey starComment
....yeah, I'm a huge soccer fan as well but as has been said many times, we can do without the drama, acting, and diving!...
