Has it crossed your minds that all football is STUPID?
But if you want the ultimate test of STRENGTH and skill, it is the rugby scrum. People could break their neck so In a serious mismatch the ref can call a forward out of the sin bin to be part of it to prevent this or call "uncontested" so the depleted scrum [injury] can be spared permanent injury.
I remember "Buda" Handy standing in front of a lineout with blood streaming down his face. Somehow that doesn't compute with Italian soccer players.
