Two, if you count the little trophy picture.

Not to get into an off-topic discussion here but my reason for liking soccer is the fact that you are running constantly for two 45-min. halves, no time outs. The eye-foot coordination is pretty amazing as is scoring a goal with a header or a bicycle kick. Scoring is at a premium because the defense is so good. You wouldn’t think it would be that hard to hit a net that wide.

...not really...quite often numerous players are not running at all...

...actually, scoring is minimal because of the difficulty of coordinating motion using feet instead of hands...and to a jaded mind like mine, the object of soccer appears to be to kick the ball out of bounds as quickly as possible, and then to put it back into play and kick it out of bounds again, over and over and over...
