Cheer girl asked:

My friend is from Brazil and moved here a few years ago. She tells our friends that soccer is so much tougher than football and soccer players are more athletic and its more dangerous. She also likes football and says that they’re not as talented or as skillful as soccer players. I told her soccer players don’t get injured as often and there injuries aren’t like the ones football players get. How can I convince her that football players are more tougher than soccer players?

    Football is more dangerous.
    -tackles

    Soccer is more Athletic and has more skill.
    -you actually need skills
    -coordination between your teammates and the ball.
    -running back and forth without breaks every 5 minutes. Megan

    Well you will loose, football is not tougher. In Football players get like only 5 minutes of real game play. The rest of the 3-4 hours is spent on commercial breaks, time outs, huddling up, making strategies, choosing plays, and a play only lasts like what…10-15 seconds? and yes there might be tackles but they wear ALOT of pads EVERYWHERE.
    In soccer only shin guards is the only pads you have.

    Soccer is a full 90 minutes of running, and physical action, even a referee gets more action than a football player. And soccer injuries are more common than in football.

    And sorry,but soccer players are tougher and have a higher physical endurance Nestor M

    soccer players are most definitely tougher then football players.
    they work harder, need more skill, and dont wear ten pounds of padding to protect themselves. you think soccer players dont get hurt? abby (DONT TREAD ON ME!)

    Football players are only tougher because they take bigger hits – then again they were 90layers of padding to protect them. Want to see REAL football players? Check out Australian Rugby League – no protection and BIG hits. Those boys are tough.

    Soccer is definitely the harder sport. She’s Brazilian – soccer is the biggest sport in Brazil she would know what she’s talking about.

    Like others have said, soccer needs more skill, fitness, it’s physically and mentally demanding. You aren’t stopping and starting every 5mins. You’re going flat out 40mins each half. You attack then you’re immediately defending, you defend then you’re immediately on the attack.

    Soccer players break legs, ankles, ribs, dislocate ankles, knees. Can break collarbones, can get concussion if the ball hits them hard enough in the head. If they get hit hard enough in the face with a ball – it can break jaws, noses, eyesockets, knock teeth out. Back injuries are also common due to the way they can lend after being heavily tackled. They can break arms in heavy tackles when they hit the ground awkwardly.

    It may look like an “easy” sport just passing the ball around to one another but i can tell you know, soccer is not an easy sport. The skill of a soccer player is amazing. Go on youtube and watch some soccer skills – their ball control and speed is absolutely amazing and it’s with their feet!! Anyone can catch and pass a ball but to learn to control the ball with your feet and work your feet better then a pair of hands is a skill not many people have. Andy
