I've played competitive soccer nearly my whole life and just recently quit (b/c I'm burnt out). I've been knocked out, kicked and punched in the groin, gotten cleated on every part of the body, broken toes, gotten numerous broken/bloody noses and that stuff really isnt that bad compared to stuff I've done to others and have seen.
I was marking someone in a game and he would slap me in the groin every time he would take off. Since I was a big guy I took it a few times but was bottling up my anger which ended up with me punching the guy in the back of his head until he fell to the ground. He lied there for a sec then got up and walked to the side of the field to get a sub. I thought it was soo funny b/c this guy thought he was such a badass and wouldn't say anything to anyone. I went to apologize at the end of the game b/c I felt bad but he said he wanted to meet me in the parking lot to fight but when I got there he was gone.
Also a picture was put on the front of a newspaper's sports page of me getting elbowed in the head while I was cleating someones leg.
It all depends on who you play. Most of these incidents happened in HS when we were getting towards the state tournament.
Just had to defend the sport a little.
