You seem to favor straw man arguments. Did I ever write that soccer goalies are in bad shape, or never get injured? The point was that while soccer devotees always point out the ninety minutes of constant action, in truth there are both breaks in play, and two major players on the field who perform a vital function for very brief periods of time throughout the game. Both gridiron and soccer players condition themselves off the field. That goes without saying. But the argument was stated within the context of the game, not practice between matches. And I didn’t make it.
Yawn.........
