Nothing physical about the sport? Unlike some sports (not hockey!) soccer is in fact a contact sport. Try taking a slide cleats up. Or getting clipped from behind sprinting full speed. Or standing in a wall when someone rips a shot at 60-75mph.
Hockey is a damn tough sport, please don't misinterpret my post. However you cannot compare the two. Soccer isn't a sport that thrives on fighting, cross-checking, and missing teeth. Soccer is very artistic, a controlled chaos if you will. It requires skill, PATIENCE, stamina, and poise.
And for the record I'm a big hockey fan, or at least when the playoffs roll around!
Let me take a stab at this: You have never played soccer, have you?
