[Editor's note: Every now and again something from the weekend needs to be re-posted on Monday to make sure the awesomeness gets around. This is one such case.]
…Well, tougher than the players at the other positions. Are there other positions in soccer? Because to the untrained and whiskey-tinged eye, it looks just like a bunch of foreigners running around kicking a ball. Anyway, watch this:
That was a pretty hard hit I guess, but it's as good as you're gonna get on You Tube since the NFL removed all the videos of the Sean Taylor/Brian Moorman hit. Thanks to handsome weekend tipster Derek, who says the forward (non-goalie) is a senior and the goalie is a freshman. I experienced similar hard-hitting action when I was a freshman in high school, except the "senior" involved was a senior citizen. She was a nun who could swing a yard stick like Vlad Guerrero. -KD


Shoulda hit him with his FIST.
…almost as nice as the Frog who headbutted the Iti
The rookie-ass ref carded the goalie for defending himself from that vagina-laiden bag-o-douche forward? No wonder soccer players grow up to become moistened-arsed, uber-flopping Italia…pussies.
the best part is the goalie gets a yellow card…for having some pussy run into him and knock himself the fuck out. GOD soccer blows. what's next? red cards for kicks to the throat? what is this communist russia?
That freshman is going to have more HS tail than he'll know what to do with – the dude is living the dream!
I'm pretty sure that would have shaken a shit lose if I'd taken a hit like that. Soccer bashing is pretty sad. I'ma start calling soccer haters G.W. Bush from now on.
La Crescent….or 'The Crescent'…..is my favorite high school soccer team. Go Rolls!
Get it? Crescent Rolls?
I'll see myself out.
The forward shouldn't have been running at the goalie, but by no means did he run into the goalie.
Watch closely. As the forward is about 2 yards away, you can see the little thought bubble pop over the goalkeeper's head…
"Hmm, should I play the ball and get plowed for sure, kick the ball out of danger and possibly get plowed, or drive my shoulder into his sternum while making it look like I'm playing the ball? Shoulder check it is!"
Scott Stevens would be proud.
This just goes to show that all Soccer players still urge to be on the football team.
Are we 100% certain that it wasn't Joan Van Ark that took that hit, possibly to the upper-facial region?
Nice! That's the kind of shit that seperates the men from their shoulders.
You know what, +1 for soccer. Excellent video.
