you obviously never played soccer… Shit is vicious! In my 3 years that i played highschool ball i was able to dislocate my shoulder, dislocate my knee, got knocked out a few times blocking shots with my face, and a handful of other injuries. I will let you feel the chunk of bone that is missing from my shin! Soccer is a high endurance physical game no doubt about it.
And in indoor soccer you can check a player which leads into a new realm of pain.
