Professional soccer players don't seem to need actual physical contact before they fall over crying with an injury.. Just an observation from an American with a different definition of football. lol

Lol, it's called football because it's a game you play with a ball (that's a round object) & with your feet (the things that are on the end of your legs)
The american's call a game similar to rugby, football!!! although nobody is sure why??? Outside of the states hardly anyone else plays the stupid game despite billions of dollars going into sponsorship every year. We play rugby that does without all that sissy helmets & body armour. Oh yeah & baseball is based on an old English game called rounders, again traditionally played without all the wussy helmets & padding.
Just an observation from an English guy who has lived in the states for 15 years
