Olympic dramatics and international rivalries
aside, soccer is an extremely taxing sport. It
combines endurance and speed with bodily
contact, quick movements, and intricate foot
skills. In a typical 90-minute international
match, a player can run up to 6.5
miles. Players change of speed
every 5 to 6 seconds.
