I didn't want this thread to deteriorate into a pissing contest of sport vs sport but furors moronic post lends itself to that. Anyone who puts physical in sarcastic quotations when talking about hockey and American football is an idiot and spoken like someone who's never played either game in a comptetive environment. Just YouTube great hockey hits or hockey fights or great football hits and it's immediately clear the sports are brutal. It's a huge difference between incidental contact and something that's required to play the sport.
I've played all three and thiers no comparison to getting up the next day and being sore from head to toe and barely being able to walk because of the game of american football or hockey you played. Never had that problem with soccer.

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.

Javier:
Real Madrid is interested in this player from Brazil named Neymar, this will basically become a very very expensive procedure. Real Mardid will have to give Neymar's old club at least 45 million euros just to transfer him and still pay his salary.
Imagine the club's reaction if they were to see their prize signing play a 180 minute game. It doesn't make sense physically.
Hockey and soccer are just different sports with different physical exertion. Hockey is more physical and more of a sprinting game, while soccer is less physical but it is a combination of sprinting and a marathon.
Most likelyJaydc and Cham have probably called soccer boring in the fast, you wouldn't want to see a game past 120 minutes. Their bodies just aren't conditioned for that, and the fact that there are only 3 subs would make it really difficult.

I find baseball to be the most boring sport to watch

lol, why is this guy defending injuries in Soccer? You have the same chance of getting injured in Soccer in the first 30 seconds or in the 130th minute. Injuries are no reason to say you can't play longer when injuries are Soccer are the result of some cheap hit or freak accident.

Nobody is saying every game. Just for the World Cup & games leading up to it. Basically for that tournament. If some random game tomorrow ends 0-0 after extra time, go ahead & kick penalty kicks. But you're going to crown the World's greatest, who holds the title for the next four years off some lucky shit? Because your goalie jumped left, but the kicker was thinking right before he even hit it? Joke.
