Football players have an image and they are tough.Soccer players are not tough and soccer players have no image

Stupid. If a soccer player had a hang nail they would not be carried of on a stretcher and if a football player had a broken leg he would not just walk off the field. Exagerate much?
Both sports are very intense, soccer is non stop no pads. Football is seconds or minutes of hard hitting.
Maybe you should research your question a little more.

Foetus, some of us do watch Premiership, possibly more than you do. Footballers (not gridironers) learn to be as dramatic as possible for the simplest foul, because they want the free, and moreso, the want to earn a yellow card for their opponent, or even a red if they really sell it.
The other side of the coin is that the way football/soccer is played can lead to some extremely serious leg injuries. You don't usually see NFL players getting a leg amputated after a serious leg injury, yet that happens now and then with footballers.
And sometimes it really does just freakin' hurt, having spikes raked down your ankle... but that doesn't do away with the drama. It's just part of the game now, and it's not going away until they have some sort of video/replay on every foul (may it never be...)

Well, let's see, Foetus, there are tons of injuries in football, and that's WITH them wearing pads. Could you imagine what the carnage would be like if they WEREN'T wearing pads?
The diving in soccer over trips that football players would shrug off is disgusting, and contributes a lot to why Americans don't like soccer. In football, unless you're really hurt, you get right back up from a hard hit, if only to show the other guy that you can take it and you'll be back next play.

There's alot more contact involved in American football than soccer. Not all players with a broken leg walk off the field, alot of times they are carted off the field, but I have known some football players, a couple pros. And they are some tough guys, but then they have to be to play at such a high level of cometition.

When football players walk I mean have help walking off the Field it's cause they are hurt.
Soccer Players are not cause of a hang nail There probably hurt.
Whoever told you that's the reason soccer players get carried off in a stretcher is cause You are probley globule.
I have never heard that.

Soccer players are wussies. Everytime I turn on soccer, Beckham is crying over something.
Football players are tough. T.O. nearly dies, and then he's at practice 2 days later. Big Ben busts his skull open on a motorcycle and comes back shortly after. Then he has an appendectomy and played in practice 10 days later. Football players are tough.

It,s a European thing. The Latino Europeans are as soft as a Poo sandwich and even most of the South Americans can't handle a tap on the shins , which are protected by shin guards. Mummys boys all of them are, and you might have started something because soccer players are very passionate about their game and will defend it to end a days.

if they break thier legs,how can they walk?? listen to youself,say if they get hurt,well i dont know why they dont carry them in a stretcher but what you mean by get a hang nail,soccer players play continously for so long and when someone kicks you,do you know how painful it is and being tired too at the same time,think about it.

If you break your leg you cannot walk - end of story. If you have ever been kicked in the leg really hard you would know that it hurts like hell. That is why when a soccer player gets kicked he is quite often carried off on a stretcher. As for soccer players being weaker than American football players; the rest of the world doesn't prance around with body armour to play 'football' they play without protection and call it rugby. A novel idea that America never seems to have appreciated or if they did decided it was too 'dangerous'. Wussies - who are wussies?
