Soccer Is A Physical Sport

Decent Essays
Soccer is a physical sport where two teams face each other for over ninety minutes. During matches, players are subject to strong emotions that stem from competition. As in any sport taunting, or actions to affect the opponent’s psyche are a part of the game. Many things are said by players on the field as the games progress. Marco Materazzi’s comments refer to these behaviors on the pitch.
We do not believe that FIFA should investigate any offense on the field because existing rules and regulations are enough to maintain the good of the game.

    We began to train even harder, disregarding the swelling on our knees and ankles, tasting the conviction and persistence in the training court shared by all. Meanwhile, I watched professional soccer games, read coaching books every night and observed the training of our rival team, and tried to think of a good strategy. My research drove me to play a direct counter attack style to win the games. In the final team meeting before the big game, I presented my strategy, and convinced them that every individual’s potential is indeed unlimited, especially when they focus on their goal and work together.

There is always a congregation of those who support the said topic, accompanied alternatively by those who hold opposing views.

They have complained about inconsistencies, unfairness and the lack of punishment. UEFA was specifically criticized because they did not acknowledge the fact that during one AC Milan versus Pro Patria, Kevin Prince-Boateng was racially abused by fans, which he later complained about for being intolerable and unspeakable (telegraph.co.uk). On the other hand, they fined Denmark striker Nicklas Bendtner 80,000 Euros ($88,000) because he was wearing spandex with an unauthorized sponsorship on them and was also handed a one match ban (telegraph.co.uk).…
