For one the sport is no contact sport; if you run into someone too hard you get a penalty (or card as it is termed) then the rest of the game is kicking the ball up and down the field for 80+ boring minutes. I mean 3 goals total in one game is considered a high scoring game, that is pathetic. Then for those guys who make the comment that hockey players are wimps for wearing padding have a mental deficency that rivals Rainman. I would love to see these so called tough soccer players take a 60+ MPH (assuming we are talking amateur; 90+ if pro) slapshot anywhere on there body from a solid RUBBER puck and then come talk to me about not using pads. Yeah, cause taking a shot from a Leather, soft core soccer at 40+ (60+ pro) MPH kick really hurts more, thats ******* histerical. Then, i think i saw someone say that you dont need to wear pads to check. once again you go strap on some skates and take a check at full speed and let me know how it was after you wake up from your coma. SOCCER SUCKS!

The only reason soccer is popular is because its a poor people sport. Think about it, all you need is a ball and some trees or poles and you can play it. Hockey is in a league above soccer. Hell anyone can play soccer. all you do is kick a ball and its not that hard to aim. I'd like to see the soccer players step onto the ice and try to play hockey. Everyone thinks its so easy to play hockey. Watch the new pros vs joes 2 on SPIKE TV if you have it. It will feature a hockey player claude lemeiux. It will air next thursday Feb 1. It will finally put to rest the fact that normal people cant play hockey and that hockey players are tougher then most. GO WINGS

That's part of the game. Often times, those antics get the teams a free kick or two - or even a penalty shot. Klinsman did it for Germany in World Cup 1990. Got his team a championship. Beat that.

You are messed up.Soccer is the best sport so what if its not a contact sport.This game involves skill and fitness that's why people are paid @ such high rates to play professional.Hockey is all about hitting a puck with a stick damn that ain't to far from golf.

Football is the best sport in the world....and always will be! Just look at how many people play it, watch it and follow their local teams. The world cup generates so much popularity and unites people world wide.......read the facts in any good book about football. My boyfriend played soccer for many years and has told me this.
