Why soccer players are soft? i mean just a soft touch and they fall immediately like being punched by tyson.?

Well first , they are not soft . They play with speed and just a small budge is enough to make a person fall wen they are running at full steam.And on some occassions they dramatize their falls to get fouls.But trust me they are like OX's.

Roman - russian gagster? thats cool. I agree with you. In the pitch the players do act as unruly rich kids who own the game and can do and say anything that they like at any time. Jose likes attention and can do anything to get it. In all post match reviews he says the same thing - 'the referee was hostile and his sweet shy cudly boys were wrongfully targeted'. so what if Drogba and Robben treats the pitch as a swimming pool and dives deep down without any assistance from the opposite defenders. (they could have won olympic gold medals in diving and accolades for their oscar winning performances in front of the officials- you have to give them that) so what if Essien practices Muy Thai moves in the pitch or Ricardo trying hard to send someone to the hospital for good- they are just little innocent kids. All these needs hard training and who better to give them that other than THE MASTER - JOSE MOURINHO.

Rugby players.  Soccer players fall down and cry whenever they're knocked over.

Players used to over-act for two reasons\n\n1. To get the opponent yellow carded: After receiving 2 yellow cards, the next offense by the same player gets a red card which means that the said player cannot play for 2 matches. A very handy way to get rid of the top players on your opponents team.\n\n2. To waste time: This is especially good when your team is leading by a very slim goal difference and it is getting to the end of play. The more play is interrupted, the more your opponents lose their momentum & the better your chance of winning the match.\n\nFIFA decided that they would put their foot down and show that they were taking this seriously. By dishing out yellow/red cards, they ensure that malingerers are kept to a minimum and only genuine injuries are treated as the players will not want to be the ones sent off!!!

it is understandable why they do not let slid tackling at a young age cause the injuries at that age can be pretty serious for a 4-7 year and discouraging the might not want to play. But yes Football(soccer) is a Physical sport it's just the way the game is played i have had to give up playing soccer to to countless ankle injuries but it is  the price you pay to play a great sport. to the people that think soccer is a sport for wussies i would like to see you get on a soccer Field and play a 90 min game, you wouldn't even last.

According to your question statement, the pressure inside the soccer ball is less than that of the surrounding atmosphere. This seems suspect...

I agree that referee's spoil the match as much as players.\n\nIn this age of football we see players fall over at a touch yet if we watch rugby we see players dived upon pushed grabbed with just about everything possible done to stop them running and they still continue.\n\nDo footballers have a greater centre of gravity than everyone else? Is the earths gravitational pull selective with a bias toward footballers?    I think they ruin a game and I think that to be paid that amount of money they should be good enough to be able to stay on their feet, retrieve balls when they have lost it to other players and be professional enough to win the game without stomping on other players suffering form gravitation.

I wouldn't consider soccer players wimps it is just that if they make a collision look bad then the other team will be penalized, also every sport has injuries but in soccer your legs get hurt a lot so you can't walk off the field.

soccer is a  sport  with tough contact where you are\n\nallowed to lean hard with your body weight against \n the body of your opponent.Given the difference of corpu \nlence between women and men this would produce\nserious  bone lesions in the vertebrae and pelvis of \nthese  girls thats why FIFA frowns at this mixture \n\n\np\nthe onentur opp yoy of

I've played goal at a pretty competitive level for the past several years and I've had some really nasty bruises from slapshots that snuck under a pad or hit me in an unprotected area. I've also strained the ligaments in my knee pretty bad and aggravated an old lower back injury several times. All in all, though, I've been pretty fortunate as well. No broken bones or missing teeth!

cos they're special... its really to identify who they are - a goalkeeper. its so players dont get confused and so the refs dont get confused either, which keeps them more distinguished from the rest of their teammates. i used to play soccer myself and one thing i learnt from that experience is so that they are able to tell them apart from the rest. u know that they're the goalie that way.

Why would any sane person shoot a soccerball? When you shoot them they pop.

I had the same feeling about Peter Crouch, how something like that can happen? I've heard jokes about the Brazilian player KAKA too...for us Brazilians , Kaka is nickname for Carlos, but can be used as shit too. Luckly he doesn't do "shit" in our soccer, at least by now...hahahaha
