Well, anyway, soccer was pretty high up on the list of sports with the most injuries, even ahead of American football, if I'm not mistaken.
That said, I would love to be able to play that. I did for a few years with an adult rec league with some guys from work. It was really fun, but I was always walking around with swollen up ankles and various other maladies.
Welcome to the forums, and good luck with your season.
