Soccer Fight!

Who doesn't enjoy a good soccer fight now and again?

Watching this clip, the things that strike me are:

1. Soccer players can't throw a punch for jack. I've seen Barbie dolls hit better than these guys.

2. The number of dirty hits is incredible. There's a whole segment where guys get sucker-punched in the solar plexus. The very last shot is jaw-droppingly unfair. The funniest, though, is when one guy reaches around a group and yanks the mullet of an opposing player. Gee, maybe he'll pass him a note in social studies class saying to watch out on the playground at recess.

3. It doesn't take much to drop a soccer player. Since trying to get the refs to draw fouls on the other team is a big part of the game, a lot of these guys hit the turf as soon as they get tapped on the jaw. Check out the one where one dude gets lightly headbutted. He looks pissed for a split second, then immediately changes his expression to one of extreme anguish, throws his hands up to his face and drops like a sack of potatoes.

4. I would not, repeat not want to get a set of cleats to the face. That's gotta sting.
