I have heard from various people that you can easily break somebody's leg in a streetfight. Anybody who knows soccer knows that it is a hard game, we usually focus on the skill levels but the injuries,especially to legs can be horrible. I remember when I had my first hip replacement there was a young lad there in the hospital who had been kicked in the knee, he'd be about 19 and his soccer career was ruined by that one kick. There are many tools used in soccer that are great on the "battlefield" headbutts delivered by a football player would be devestating.....I used to watch lads heading the ball to one and other..they'd keep it in the air for 15 minutes easily, or just bouncing it off their own head. Then when they got in a scrap the first thing they would do is headbutt and when the guy went down they'd kick him........all skills learned on the pitch
