Yawn, yawn. Another uninformed comment from someone who has never played the game.
Have you ever banged your elbow on a door or your knee on a table? Then you know how much it hurts ... for about a minute.
Soccer is like that. A boot on the shin or an ankle bone hurts like crazy for a moment or two then the pain goes way. That's why players go down holding their legs then get up and run away.
