    Why don't you try it sometime [?][?]
    Then tell us how long it took to get at least the bruises, or a broken leg [}:)]

    I watched 2 saves. That has got to be a joke video, can't see why the goalie would make the save with his face. Weird.

    Soccer can be a pretty tough game, playing for Ga. Tech in 1968 I broke my left ankle, was in a plaster cast for 7 weeks. Several years later, playing for Ga. College I tore the medial collateral ligament in the left knee. Guy made a dirty slide tackle on me right when I was about to score, he saved the goal. He should have gotten a red card but he didn't.

    But, we made the penalty kick anyway. And then we lost 5 to 1.
    I played the rest of that game, was too dumb to get on the bench, but by the end of the game my knee was all swollen up. That was the end of my college soccer career, spent the next 8 weeks on crutches.

    I use to joke about it when I coached football. I told the kids that soccer was a game invented for kids that couldn't play football, boy was I wrong. It takes more stamina and coordination to play soccer. I would get mad because we were in a state championship game and our starting QB and two running backs, missed the game for soccer practice. We lost 13 to 12. The next year, those kids did not start for me because of the conflict in scheduling. They were mad, but I needed to have kids that were going to be there in the end when soccer practice started. I don't understand why they let those two youth sports overlap. Delay soccer two more weeks and we would be fine. I actually liked soccer when I was in HS and played my senior year. I sucked, but i played[;)][:D] I also ran track my senior year. I set the 5th fastest time in state history in the mile. Today, I couldn't run to the bathroom[;)] The track coach timed me running the mile in gym class and asked me to join. I didn't want to as I played football, but I gave in and went out for spring track. My school record is now long gone, but I once held the record.

    soccer probably causes more knee injuries than any other activity, on the women's side of sports. ACL especially.
