Soccer fans swore the World Cup would “change America forever.” Turns out when the “action” is 90 minutes of cardio with a side of flipping and flopping, people suddenly remember they have **** to do. Every time a player got lightly brushed, they collapsed like it was real American football hits....I know, but hold on...The announcers kept trying to hype it... “WHAT A THRILLING MATCH!” WTF…**** soccer...

But, say what you want about soccer, at least those dudes are out there taking cleats to the shins at full sprint. Lacrosse players? Now, they are the fluffers...Soccer collisions happen at 20+ mph with zero padding. Lacrosse collisions happen rarely. And it's 2 people "bumping" into each other. 

In soccer, you’re eating turf, elbows, knees, and the occasional flying boot. In lacrosse, you’re dodging… a ball the size of a meatball and a stick that looks like it was designed to catch butterflies. Soccer players run 7–9 miles a match. Lacrosse players run 7–9 miles a season if you round up.   

Soccer injuries: broken metatarsals, torn ACLs, concussions, studs to the ribs. Lacrosse injuries: I got poked in the glove. 

As Bay Area hosts World Cup, empty red seats are everywhere at Levi's Stadium

LOL…but does the flopping hold a candle to the NBA?    while the NHL throws them in the box for 2 minutes…

brown’s gonna be upset as he played on the lacrosse practice squad at brown…  

just watched medical show where an amateur league player took a cleat to the face. He had 3 deep lacerations from upper lip 1” to mid cheek 3” perfectly spaced…WTF? and he’s still at it…one tough monkey…

I was knocked cold in high school, watched a friend get his collarbone broken.

Made of solid vulcanized rubber. It leaves an angry looking donut on bare flesh. A ball to the helmet can knock you out, a shot to the chest can kill you.

With the graphite shafts, college kids can generate 100 mph. A long stick can fling it 60+ yds.

Lacrosse players run 7–9 miles a season if you round up

A lacrosse midfielder typically runs between 2 and 4 miles (approximately 3 to 6.5 kilometers) per game. Because middies cover both offensive and defensive ends of the field, their total distance depends heavily on their playing time, the pace of the game, and whether they are playing regular shifts or "iron-manning" the entire match.


While the total mileage may seem comparable to a light jog, the exertion is incredibly high-intensity. A midfielder's distance is largely broken down into explosive bursts, with numerous 20- to 50-yard sprints, rapid changes of direction, and quick decelerations to transition between offense and defense.

Lacrosse injuries: I got poked in the glove. 

 A 17-year-old high school lacrosse player named Eliot Abramson died on June 7 after being struck in the back of the neck by a fast-moving lacrosse ball. The fatal incident occurred during a college recruiting showcase when a shot slipped underneath the back edge of his helmet, causing blunt force trauma.


 

FIFA FAFO... Donald Trump can't hit the goal.

Piece o pizza prize..

Hotels are saying bookings are 60% less than expectations, which is about par for the Trump American Goof Course..

Brown people don't come to America anymore.  You should be happy @MR-7  .

Slack Jaw… you didn’t ‘survive’ lacrosse...you survived being too scared to play soccer. Quit the whining. You got knocked out once and you’ve been telling the story ever since. You’re bragging about a bruise from a sport where the equipment looks like it was designed to catch butterflies. You’re not proving lacrosse is tough...you’re proving you’d have folded the first time a soccer cleat kissed your shin at 20 mph.

Red Bull keeps politics out of sports..   They should be separated..  Government is not for entertainment purposes only. Grifty thinks the show is all about him and has to make sure seats get filled by his military minions today.

If the flopping is egregious enough they will get a yellow card.  Saw one against Paraguay when the played the US Friday.

Do these girls "not know" that the ball can kill them?

Your ben wah ball puts you in a coma. Going to the UFC fight could be deadly.

A young student athlete had the golden hit that stops your heart here recently..  He did not survive.

Sad and tragic.   The price of the games we play.  I feel for the family.

 I grew up in Sweden.

We played every day at school....first time with a tin can.

No one is surprised by this, tiny feet…

A).I helped coach my daughter's team. One of the girls misjudged a ball, took it off the forehead and concussed. Done for the season.

B) women's sticks don't have "pockets"...they're lighter, the shafts thinner. Non-goalies are penalized for putting themselves in a position to be hit by a shot on net. 

Women’s lacrosse has one of the highest concussion rates of any sport, with concussions making up roughly 20% to 40% of all reported injuries. The injury rate sits between 3.9 and 5.1 concussions per 10,000 athletic exposures, primarily caused by impacts from the stick or ball rather than player-to-player collisions

That’s cute. Really. I’m sure the Women’s Lacrosse Safety Squad gave you a gold star. But honestly? I’m not losing sleep over a sport where the big danger is getting tapped by a stick or bonked by a rubber ball. If people want to act like that’s some epic battle, good for these ****...But me, I’m not going to pretend it’s hardcore. I just don’t care about the drama of that sissy little game. 

And last but not least....how many times did you shower with your daughter after the practice games?
