How did this go from sports to cars?

I'd like to see any pro football player last an entire game like a soccer player would.... I guarantee 95% wouldnt make it to halftime without crapping out Soccer is not for the weak.

we would have done better if the reffs wern't german. iono if anyone actually watched all the games, i saw every minuute of all 3, refs can eat a dik on some of them calls, like the penalty shot vs ghana. And the us did pretty well against italy considering they were playing with 9 men instead of the usual 11. they an't bad, they sucked in the first game that was bout it.

op whoever told you 25k salary isn't right, good players get multi million dollar contracts, ronaldinho was offered somethin like 130 mill to come play over here. the best player for ghana has a 45 million dollar contract to play for some club in europe.

That original post was referring to soccer played in America, not overseas....

Yeah there may be some players out there that are agile. But all soccer players have to be, plus they don't get a break every 15 seconds to set up new plays. Soccer players have to run for 45 min straight and most play whole games because they only get 3 subs a game. But that was a good point that a 300+ person would last to long with any decent soccer player.
