Yeah run 10 KM "that's over 6 miles for Americans" in the brazil heat, with people grabbing you, kicking you trying to tackle you... Would never ever happen.
I love how the people who are clueless about soccer say "a bunch of guys standing around"
It's not like Hockey where you skate for 2 mins, then sit on the bench. You don't get breaks. Or like the NFL where you get a break every 1 minute for 5 mins of commercials. The whistle blows and you just fucking play.
Which also is another thing that makes soccer more exciting, once the whistle blows, you just play. You know there won't be 500 breaks for whatever. You know it's non stop.
