World Cup: Soccer is a barbaric game

    I've been watching the World cup and I'm shocked at the pain inflicted on players in this so called 'sport' of soccer.

    After a tackle, players often fall on the ground and roll over and over and over again, such is the pain of the tackle they sustained; they wince and hold their hands over their faces so we don't suffer the trauma of seeing them weeping; they grasp and hold their legs and ankles to keep the bones intact.

    Even more awesome, and all credit to them, professionals that they are, they usually manage to overcome the agony and the injury and get up and play as well as before!

    That is real heroism.

    On the other hand, rugby players, footballers and hurlers really need to man-up because it seems they never suffer this kind of brutality. More often than not, they don't get hurt at all.

    Should we ban soccer?
