Equally impressive is the sport of boxing and the eye and hand coordination, skills, endurance, intestinal fortitude, mental toughness necessary to be a pugilist. It is a demanding individual sport that you have to be a little crazy to compete in.
That can be said for other sports like football and hockey as well.
However, soccer doesn’t provide the trench warfare in a confined area that football does. It doesn’t provide the combination that the word athlete describes a person trained to in exercises or games requiring strength and skills.
Soccer is the most popular sport, in every country except the USA.
Which leads me to several unanswered questions.
Why is men’s soccer in the US, always handily beaten by other countries?
Why isn’t Mexico a world power in the sport of soccer?
One has to wonder how great of a nation of soccer players America would be if our best athletes played soccer.
