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.
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
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.
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
