With all due respect...............BULL!!
Soccer is "physically demanding" in the sense that running cross-country is physically demanding. No disrespect to long-distance runners, even triathletes. What they do is admirable and demanding, buy you're WAY out of your league, like I said before, even mentioning REAL American Football and Soccer in the same breath.
You get "breaks" in football due to carrying around 40lb.s of equipment, being encumbered and restrained by the uniform and padding and helmet, etc.......and STILL running the 40 at 4.2 while in the heat of battle.
Soccer players wear every inch of uniform that Christopher Robin did in Whinnie the Pooh!!!!!!!!!!
You get "breaks" in football, because half the game you need "recovery time" for pert'near getting your head torn off while "playing". About the most "recovery time" the average Soccer player needs is a quick rub due to a sore hammy!
You get "breaks" in football because each play is designed for a score, or to stop a score. You have to re-group and re-play inch by inch and play by play. You don't need "breaks" in soccer when designed "plays" are really the luck of chaos, ants scurrying around, and stumbling on a GOOOOOAAAALLLL every now and then.
You get "breaks" in football to apply stitches, re-set dislocated joints, set bones, getting your bell un-rung, or waiting for the stretcher to cart someone off the field. In soccer, you don't need a "break" to pull up your socks or tuck in your shirt.
You get "breaks" in football for commercial time, and the whole world is watching and it's BIG MONEY. There's no "breaks" in soccer for commercial time, because no one with any money gives a rats ***, so commercial time is useless..
Next time the Super Bowl, or an important playoff game is on the TV, switch over to all the ESPN or FoxNet sports channels and see whats on. Billiards, darts, poker, ice skating, arm wrestling..............and SOCCER! These are the programming inserted, because those networks know that "all is lost today, we gotta' air something, so broadcast something for the hell of it". That, my friend, is why football has "breaks" and soccer (or whatever they call it in Crapistan or San ****hole) call it.
