(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.
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.
