I used to love soccer until I learned the official rules. I never played or payed attention to the game throughout my youth. I liked playing because the field is huge, and you stay in great shape. Which, I would use to play football, basketball, and baseball, my speed and acceleration. When I played soccer I was in the Army, and we would play full contact soccer, basically soccer with a healthy dose of hockey it would get brutal in a gym. Well, I joined a soccer league, because in my igorance I thought full contact was legal. I quickly quit soccer because it was not fun to me without contact.

Some may think you play baseball that is no contact. Just ask anyone who ever tried to block the plate on me. I've literally fractured ribs jumping/diving into fences for the ball.

I'm a all or nothing kind of player and I just don't get that feeling from soccer.

No contact in soccer you must be crazy, ya you can't go out and check somebody on the ground, but you can defiantly have tons of body to body contact. You have be in control of the ball also, you can run around and body check folks to the ground. And I doubt you were playin with any high skilled players cuz most will just dance around your ass if you try and knock them down...and well you would look real silly after they broke ya ankles

hahaha truth its like when i play occasionally with the boys on the field... I can beat anyone to the ball but when i have to guard some kid from Brazil its like watching a retard try to put a spoon in his mouth... sry that was wrong...

But yea contact is always going to be part of the sport, and as a goalie i have proof of it, having broken numorous bones, fractured ribs, bad contusions, and of course me being a big guy ive layed out quite a few ppl myself. hehe

Very true on the low talent level point, as I have about none in the sport. Yes, I know there is definitely contact, probably similar to getting position for a rebound in basketball. I did like playing as a goalie, I love diving for any kind of ball, and was actually decent, but I like to be more like a mid fielder. I did play in a couple games, and just as I started to get into the games I would have to come out because of Yellow cards, and a couple Red cards.

I bet most of you prolly think that swimming is also one of those ass slapping sports and stuff... well, it is. But, I am seriously getting sick of it, it is really freaking me out... i question my friends sexuality because of what i see. Actually, I havent hung out with those friends for a long time.

Oh, I saw that head butt on ESPN... that was kinda rough. I guess he has done it in past years in big games too.
