is a high contact sport. Sometimes I think it's more dangerous than football - no helmet, no mouthguard, no shoulder pads; just wee little plastic boards for shin guards.
There's a lot of fighting for the ball.
Tripping,
shoving,
tackling,
arm grabbing... you name it.
It's also high speed,
and demands a whole lotta stamina. You run for 45 minutes straight, take a 10-minute water break for half-time, then give the field another passionate 45 minutes.
You gotta dribble and look up and find space and juke opponents all at the same time.
Soccer is not for the faint-hearted. Sometimes your heart drops as you watch the ball get too close to your goal. Followed by a sigh of relief when your goalie steps up.
Fouls, flops, and back-to-back action. It's a lot of drama.
Can you jump like a girl?
