yes, there is a lot of contact in football, no doubt, but to flat out say that soccer is for pansies is a terrible statement because soccer us at least equally as tough as football is. Until you at least play a real competitive soccer match, you cant say anything about the contact. and since you mentioned the world cup, there was a lot of violence in that. For example, an elbow being drilled into an unprotected head causing severe bleeding in the cranium. that occured in th US/Italy match.
Mr. Crunchy, dont be an arrogant ass, soccer is as tough as football, you dont have to admit it, but IMO it is foolish just to flat out say soccer is for pansies and not be able to refute the statement that there is tons of violence in soccer.
