Re: Ask me about being a FIFA-certified soccer referee

I've always heard that the higher end soccer players are all giant pussies and aren't that tough compared to baseball, hockey, and football players. What's your take?

I'd like to see the people who said that take a two-footed sliding tackle from the likes of, say, Gennaro Gattuso and see if 1) their shin or ankle bone is still in one piece, or 2) if they can still walk afterwards. In the case of most baseball players I've known, I'd like to see them play a full 90 minutes of competitive soccer and NOT go into cardiac arrest.
Anybody who says that soccer is a sport for pussies has never played it.
