(I don't like Soccer but I agree it is probably more dangerous than football.)

I totally disagree with you. At least it is illegal in a soccer game to hit someone on purpose. You get a foul called on you and get kicked out if you get 2 yellow cards. In football you get a high 5!

In soccer the most dangerous position is goalie. They sometimes have to dive at an opponent's feet and will get often kicked. You have to be a kamikaze to play goalie.

Back in the days when I played football just about all of us were banged up just about all the time. this was in the late 50's and early 60's so we weren't playing with leather helmets.

I don't recall anyone ever being hurt seriously although there was a bank in the locker room for a player who had been crippled many years previously. People would drop in a quarter or dime etc.

In the few soccer games I have watched, I see them kicking and running without pads and it literally scares me.

I think football is a far more interesting game tho.
