...You don't need padding because soccer while it IS a contact sport is NOT like football. You get hit by a 350 pound linebacker running at full speed and you see if you don't need padding. The PURPOSE is to try and tackle someone--of course they need padding you dolt. Oh, but wait, you've probably never WATCHED a game. And there's LOTS of action. The clock only stops in the last two minutes of each half and only on certain plays. I don't see why people don't think there's action.
He was talking about Rugby, not football. At least wrt to American Football w/o the need for pansy-arse body armour
Bitter, twisted and better than you.
