It's amazing how uninformed most people are. Basketball players play a total of 60 min. with breaks, timeouts and subs (you hardly see any player stay in the entire game). Football, any given player (even a linebacker) plays maybe 60 plays with breaks after each play. Hockey is the same as basketball too many breaks and line changes.

Soccer is played for a non-stop 45 min. half then one break and another non-stop 45 min. That is 90 minutes for anyone that needed help. It is just as physical as any sport and your endurance must be at the highest for you to compete at the professional level. (Anyone can go out and stand and watch his teammates, without breaking a sweat.) And the mental game of soccer is similar to a quaterback, you have to see the entire field and be able to react and change your strategies and tactics on the fly.

'Nough said.
