What's a paradox is that there are actually more serous injuries in soccer than in Rugby for example.

Cause Rugby or any full contact sport is played straight up, you get your nose broken or something but everything is full contact and it's a part of the game. While soccer it's just attacks from behind in full speed when you don't expect anything.

For example Marco Van Basten is one of the players that had to stop his career at 30 because of this.
