He lost count of the number of times he threw up during training.

Wait a minute? Soccer pros don't train hard enough to puke?

I guess he learned the hard way that this isn’t Europe - and that REAL MEN play football in the US.

“The brute strength in the NFL is like nothing he’s ever seen, and dwarfs college play. That is a scary thought.”

I still remember a pick-up basketball game that I played with the starting lineup of ESU. Yep, THEY WERE HUGE, and this was college, and this was decades ago. I can only imagine what it’s like today.

My incident was maybe 25 years ago, so same goes here. They act like idiots and grandstand and get into all sorts of trouble but at the end of the day, they are incredible athletes, and their bodies are aged by 40.
