Fifa to send Uruguay packing.

in regulation? Colombia have looked real good lol

[JeffTheShark]

Dude, just stop your ignorance... Obviously you never play soccer before... Soccer players don't run like you do.

I guess that's true. At any given moment, of the 22 players on the field, only 2-3 will be running on average, while the rest will be moving around 2-3 MPH in some kind of weird walk/jog.

[tony_come]

Uruguay will advance

[Eatmyshade]

Colombia in regulation... with no players bitten

I can go to the gym and run the 5 miles these soccer players run and not be tired.

I can't go to the ice rink and skate for 5 minutes without feeling exhausted and having my legs hurt. The shifts are a necessity. I'm guessing you've never skated before to even point it out like its something embarrassing.

I work at a rink. People skate for hours.....

You must be out of shape if you can't skate for 5 minutes.

Why don't you run 5 miles without stopping like usain bolt not some fairy jog.

Nhl players coast/glide half the time.
Jagr used to play 30 mins now these pussies play 4 lines.

LOL.. 'Skate for 5 minutes.' You're talking about couples skating while holding hands. I'm talking about sprint skating, which is what you'll see in the NHL.

'NHL players coast/glide half the time.'

Funny you mention that. Soccer players are coasting/jog walking at least 80% of the time.

They mostly stand around and glide. Maybe sprint a few time a game for 5 seconds.

Why do you think dman play so many minutes...they mostly play position and stand in front of net.

Power play players barely move.

[k13]

Soccer players coast too. A few sprints here and there that's it.

The heat is the tiring part

Again, just stop spilling over your ignorance... you're just burying yourself deeper.

[Christopher1991]

Haha what a fool!

[k13]

I want to see germany and brazil

Dude, if this was about endurance, turn on the Tour De France or drive and follow around a high school's cross country team. These guys collapse to the ground in agony any time they are touched by another person on the field.

Soccer is not all about running. If you never play soccer, please don't comment.

I've played soccer. I've played hockey. I've played baseball. Football. Basketball. Tennis. Golf. I love sports. Soccer is the most boring to me, IMO. You also won't see professional athletes who are 5''8 130 pounds in any other sport besides soccer. Why do you think that is?

You will in hockey...

Look at Germans/Holland defense....Not many 5"8 130 lb players...

[JeffTheShark]

World Class soccer player. He looks like an average dude off the street who does a lot of cardio. I guess part of that is what makes the game so popular... knowing that these guys aren't that much different than you.

Conversely, the best baseball player in the world (Mike Trout) looks like a small truck. Lebron, a slightly larger truck. Adrian Peterson as well, and they're all freaks of nature and HAVE to be to be the best in their sport. I guess you have a point that hockey players look more normal comparatively, but they're obviously tougher than soccer players.

Youve never played soccer at any type of competitive level so stop acting like you know a damn thing about it.
Being a hater just shows your ignorance and closed mindedness.

The dumbest people in the room are usually the ones talking the Loudest.

Didn't address my very real point. Soccer plays are average dudes who have great cardio.

Didn't address my very real point. Soccer plays are average dudes who have great cardio. Messi is arguably the best soccer player on the planet. Think he could step foot on a football field? Baseball? Basketball? Give him a life time at every single one of those sports and he might be a little bit better than average, as in, rec league average.

That doesn't matter much. Most basketball players could be central defenders in soccer and Messi would drive them like crazy. A sumo wrestler would make a horrible gymnast and a volleyball player can't fit in an F1 car.

Lebron,

would cramp after he got off the team bus in brazil
