Coin flip determines NCAA Men's College Cup

I was never nearly as tired at the end of a soccer game as I was at the end of a basketball game, not even close.

In soccer for all the running you do, there is a whole lot of standing around as well - something the soccer apologists around here just want to keep ignoring.

And it is much harder to run 94 feet in short bursts every 20 seconds than run 40 yards and walk back and wait.

Never mind the fact that you don't get breaks because when your team doesn't have the ball all five guys have to play defense, unlike in soccer.

Again, you continue to show you have never played either sport .... or any sport for that matter at a level above rec. league

 

sometimes it depends. jimmy chitwood running the picket fence with hickory wasn't like nolan richardson's arkansas 40 minutes of hell. same in soccer. the game a team like brazil plays is a lot different than italy.

 

And you haven't played both sports at a sufficiently high level for it to be remotely relevant to this conversation.

(Rec league is generous. I haven't played anything since third-grade little league)

 

And you know this, how?

 

Well, I guess it's possible that you played major college soccer at an elite, championship-caliber level while simultaneously playing college basketball.

 

zag, you don't know shit. There's only one thing more exhausting than the beautiful game.

Mass genocide is the most exhausting activity one can partake in . . . next to soccer.

 

Wait, what?

 

Ok, that makes a lot more sense now.

Great movie, haven't watched it in ages.

 

This from the link below...No idea if it's legit or not. Either way, it takes a great athlete to play the sport. No doubt about that.

"Midfielders run the most, central strikers and defenders the least. Don't brag too much about the running volume--10,000 meters (six miles) in 90 minutes is four miles per hour, something a good power walker can do."
