They do some strange things for soccer injuries

[TheCentaur]

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

[easyliving]

its not water, its some spray that numbs the pain.

You actually think soccer players are "tougher" then hockey players?

How can you compare the physicality of hockey to soccer!?

[easyliving]

How can you compare the physicality of hockey to soccer!?

hockey players on ice for about 18-19 minutes a game while Soccer is pretty much nonstop.

[edabramov]

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.

[Da Manster!]

come on, guise!!!...Apples and Oranges!!...Hockey players don't have snipers shooting at them every 5 minutes like they do in soccer!

[guerrix]

Rugby...

[pavyracer]

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.

Christos Anesti, Pavy!.......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!...

[SarahPalin]

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 soccer

[Eejit]

You put some Brazilian soccer players fighting some Canadian hockey players and they will jujitsu the shit out of them.

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.

[TheMoneyShot]

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.

You obviously never been head-butted on a header or took a shin to shin kick on a tackle. Soccer is brutal if you play it.

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 kicks

[Naz18]

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.

Whatever happens on the field is usually just a quick fix, players need to leave the field for treatment.

As for the Octagon matches, depends on the positions really, Central Defenders/defensive midfielders are usually pretty tough.

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.

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 bring

You're clueless, please stick to American Sports.

Why didn't Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, win the World Cup yet.




As physical as they come.


Go look at Honduras and how aggressive they are, I heard they do well in the competition.

[edabramov]

Bring on the Black Americans with no skill, against French-Africans with skill.

This thread is turning into a war just what I wanted
