Yes, I have called the game simple, because to me it seems simple, to you soccer fans, no offense.
Having said that, these players are big time atheletes, running for 90 minutes like that, and they take big boy hits, maybe not NFL or NHL type hits, but some of those hits they take are bruising and you know you got hit for the next two mornings after.
All in all, these guys are big time athletes, and got my respect.
Total respect
