NHL does rotate but the risk of injury is far greater in it then soccer. Soccer isn't a physical sport, thiers less wear and tear on players. Your not getting bodychecked, hacked with a stick and punched.and during a shift you don't see players barely moving, thier constantly moving at high speed. Where as soccer every player isn't always moving at a highspeed constantly.The risk of injury in the NFL and NHL far surpasses every other sport, because thier physical sports.
Every other sport keeps playing until one team wins, as it should be. They risk injury in far greater amounts then soccer. Injury risk is a lame excuse to not keep playing when the two more brutal sports do it.
It's lame, and blasphemous to the sport. No other league does it and for good reason
Javier:
I was referring to injuries due to playing time, not the sport itself. If your body is conditioned to peak in 90 minutes of play, and you play an extra 30 minutes...players bodies start to feel it and it's shown. Cramps is probably the ones you get to see the most, you're going to have to stop play every few minutes after 120 minutes of play to deal with a player. And you'll probably end up with 10 v 9 or some bs shit like that. Since soccer is also the sport where a score is least likely to happen, you can be playing for a really long time.

you dork know that most injuries are not caused by contact and that the legs are the most vulnerable parts of the body? The kegs/feet have more to sustain than NFL/Hockey players.
I don't think there are more injuries in your 'physical' sports than in football.
I know so many people who've ruined their health with football, I can't even count. I've had knee surgery myself last year and 2 years ago I had my collar bone broken (by a hit from another player btw).
And there are enough brutal scenes in football, you see these kinds of videos every few weeks
And there are enough players who clash with their heads together going for a header etc...
But my bad, maybe football clubs should recruit steroid filled bodybuilders and a few thugs who can only hit other players and start fights so you can respect it as manly enough.
Penalty kicks are a good way to end games. and lol @ you thinking you could win a penalty shootout. There are goalies who know what they're doing, of course they have the disadvantage, but there are quite a few penalty killers. For the shooter it's mainly mental strength, definately not pure lick.
OG Jaydc:
Lol@ how defensive you are furor.I never said anything about my feelings towards soccer in my post or attacked it in anyway. I was discussing the penalty kicks and potential injuries in sports. It's entertaining how butthurt you are and had to launch into an angry, defensive post of non sense. You sound pretty fucking insecure about your own tastes frankly. And lol, I never said anything about myself being able to score. Though I did play soccer for about 8 years in leagues, so I'm well aquintated with the game. Perhaps you should just sit this thread out, your emotional and distraught. I'd rather have a discussion with Javier, you just come off as insecure and ignorant.Your reply flopped harder then a soccer player being brushed up against
OG Jaydc:
Javier, I do realize that. But, if you've played hockey you'd know it's very physically demanding. Games are only scheduled for three periods, but I've seen games go into seven periods and then the team playing the very next night. That's true determination and brings out the man in a person. If you follow hockey at all you'd see as soon as a team gets eliminated all of the players injuries are revealed. When the flyers were eliminated they had seven players have to have surgeries, and those seven players were all playing. When the Canucks lost game seven they had a plethora of injuries as well, one player playing through groin tears and hip problems.in game five they lost a forward to a fractured vertebrae. You can look at any team and it's the same.
The injuries are not the same. Every few games you see players leaving the ice on stretchers with concussions. An accidental collision is not the same as a player being bodychecked by a 230 lb man repeatedly throughout the game.
If every other sport can handle it so can they. It just further enforces the reputation of soccer players being soft.
It's a terrible way to end a game.
