why do soccer players have the pain tolerance of a 4 year old girl?

Answer 1

............. and the miracle of instant recovery?

Answer 2

i referee and have a lot of experience with adult games. the men's teams are definitely the worst. they try to make the foul seem worse than it was because most of the time the referee will judge the intensity of the punishment for a foul by the players reaction (never a good thing). that and a lot of soccer player fake fouls in order to gain an advantage.

Answer 3

There is a lot of acting thats for sure, but then again look at the NBA for example. However I can assure you that the hits, or the stress on the knees are not pains you would easily take.

Answer 4

Asa soccer watcher for many years, I can tell you this. The better the show they put on(that is, the more believable the whimper), the more likely they are to get a foul and get the ball back for their team.

Answer 5

because thay have people who do and care for their every whim! besides i dont quite understand it, if their fitness level is so high, why does a little cup on the leg hurt them so much? i mean i play soccer every now and then and wen im cupped ok it pains for a few minutes, but not as bad as they make it seem!

Answer 6

The US soccer players for sure...hahahhaha

Answer 7

when you take a hit you will put ice on the injury and will set down to relax.

but they must return immediately to the game.

and they take alot of disastrous hits.

for example: when Ronaldo took a hit he go for 2 years for treatment.

Answer 8

Red card sucking bastards... Carried of on a stretcher, then 20 secs later back on.
