Man, I've got to speak out here in defense of soccer. I played soccer longer than I wrestled as a kid... now I'm coaching both sports. No contact? No pain? Whoever posted that has either never played soccer at all or has experience that is limited to phys ed soccer or the under-5-years-old recreational level. I had a coach once tell me that players run an average of 5 miles each game - most of that at a dead sprint. Besides, ever seen a slide tackle? The older the age group, the dirtier the tackle, and the more you get away with it. I played soccer in the fall to keep me in shape, have fun, and have a let-down before the intensity of wrestling season. But, I did spend my springs and summers wrestling. In my book, wrestling is #1, soccer is #2... and soccer is far above basketball. Come on, dude...
