If there's only three substitutions allowed in soccer...

If there's only three substitutions allowed in soccer, why don't teams try to injure 4+ opposing players so they're forced to play with only 10?

Because most human beings have the bare minimum amount of compassion required to function in society. Furthermore, if intentionally injuring players you will be red carded, face a large ban (perhaps lifetime), the team will likely face punishment and the game potentially cancelled.

Basically, what a stupid question.

Saw this in the >catalog and correctly guessed the flag

More legitimate question from a seperate uninformed American: do teams ever try to strategically wear down the other team given the limited substitutions, or does the endurance and conditioning at the top levels make that fairly fruitless?

>why don't teams try to injure opposing players
Because it's not the NFL

probably because soccer fags are so dumb they haven't figured it out yet

>americans

red cards

>you will be red carded
Practice making it look like an accident
>face a large ban (perhaps lifetime)
Seems like a bit of an overreaction
>the team will likely face punishment
Maybe if it gets outed as an organized team conspiracy, but punishing a whole team for a handful of dirty people is a bit of an overreaction
>the game potentially cancelled.
I'm detecting a pattern

>getting a large ban, perhaps lifetime, for purposely looking to ruin someones career
>Seems like a bit of an overreaction

it doesn't matter if its an accident or not you retard.

Because you get sent off for any kind of dangerous play
Tackling to injure most of the time results in you getting an early bath
>So you've now tried your tactic, you've deliberately injured 4 guys
You're now playing against 10 men, good for you, not sure what you're going to do about it since your team has 7 men
Good luck, If you're lucky the ref might abandon the game and record it as a 3-0 win for your opponents, save you the humiliation of getting your ass handed to you

Accident or not, you can still be dismissed.

>PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
>hurrr it's so weird that every team that plays against Man United have 4 players injured???

because your players will be scared of getting their ankles broken or noses rearranged in retaliation

the overriding theme seems to be that it's because soccer players are basically pussies. which explains why the defining feature of the game played at its highest level is people pretending to be hurt.

>injure a player
>get a red card
Nice coaching skill OP

>punishing people for accidents
I really don't think this semen slurping """sport""" is for me

you know, a lot of these guys are friends off the field, OP

well you know its a sport based on skill rather than fat niggers bumping into each other. Ofcourse when someone accidentally punches a player in the neck, it will get looked into as foulplay

what sport do you watch italy? every "italian" I know is soccer obsessed

I like how you ignored the part about basic human compassion

>make a dangerous move that could potentially injure a player
>'hur dur it was an accident'
>oh okay theres no reason to give a card here then, carry on

lol americans are so dumb

What sport do you watch where that doesn't happen?

Why try dirty tactics in a sport nobody watches anyways?


At least actual human beings. I don't think huddling around a 10 inch CRT with 20 other 'people' in a corrugated metal shack is considered a large fan base.

If this was a legit tactic then people would use it, the game would eventually evolve to the point where people are on the pitch as designated injurers, then a whole team of injurers as playing against 0 men is far easier that playing against 10 men so teams are now playing just to injure each other, if people are still paying to see this then the rules would change to accommodate these kinds of players, then you'd get to a point where after five minutes you're left with the two best injurers fighting until one get's injured, but they need breaks as it can be quite taxing injuring for 90 minutes so they break it up into 3 minute injuring periods, but you never even needed the rest of the team, so it begs the question if you paid to eventually see a fight between two people, why didn't you just go to a boxing match?

>in a sport nobody watches anyways?
oh boy

>falling for obvious bait

>well you know its a sport based on skill rather than fat niggers bumping into each other

>having to resort to ad hominem directed at football/maybe basketball

>overreaction
What, for GBH?

you mean every disgusting pleb who is identical to the stereotypical caricature of an italian?

Actually it's more efficient to injure other people if you can pick the ball up and pass it to other players with your hands. Also, it would result in more spectacular injuries due to unprotected recievers having to catch balls while jumping up. It would probably be too intense though so you would probably only want about 11 minutes of playing time. But how does one pay for this glorious """""""""sport""""""""", 2 hours of commercials sprinkled themroughout play time of course.

you misspelled moto gp
cuz we all know you italianos fucking love racing

give over. you lost this one.

What a semen slurping sport. Throw a punch in hockey and it's 5 minutes in the box.

If one team is more fit than the other, then the it natural speed of play will usually tire them anyway, rather than an active thing.

That being said, if a team knows it's not as fit as another team, they'd change tactics. I remember Australia having to play in the middle east during 38 degree heat or something and Harry Kewell said "you have to choose which balls are worth chasing, and which runs are worth making, to save energy."

soccer players aren't at risk of getting sent down the way hockey players are; those guys are fighting for roster spots every night

Professional soccer is different to park soccer. They fake it for the money.

Like porn

Because ice hockey is shit and nobody would watch otherwise

>we'll have periods in the game where you can punch each other

It's not manly it's just retarded

No I meant because 'italian' isnt a race its just a subset of arab

so you dont actually watch sports then? thats not an answer

actually there are a lot less fights now than there were even a few years ago

Better question, why hasn't Multiball been implemented in soccer? Or maybe those big inflatable body suits too.

>soccer

Yes, that's the name of the sport.

you actually got to injury just the goalkeeper and his sub

>ice hockey

this sport exists. Check out Calcio storico fiorentino.
