hehe that soccer field reminds me of Train hard fight easy If you can play there you can play anywhere.
But im glad you came up with this subject the swalbe thing. One of the reasons i dont really like football. How can you feel like a winner if you acted your way to victory.
Secondly, fuck man, soccer can be more dangerous then boxing. How often somebody get kicked very nasty. At least with boxing you know somebody wants to hurt you :)
Compared to Rugby (for example), soccer sadly has become more and more a sport for "pussies". And worst of all: the players get paid an amount of (far too much) money, which is completely out of line with their performance.
