Real Madrid's stadium
It's the offseason, but I thought this was really interesting. Maybe I missed it before? |

I was in Madrid in September. As a city, it sucks.
Dont care about their stadium. Stupid to call it a pitch Soccer is pretty much stupid.

Considering they play 90 minutes on both offense and defense, the occasional fake injury to get your team a breather still pales in comparison to 15 minutes breaks in the NFL so we can run a bunch of commercials.
Think about it this way, Tyreek hill is actually in motion for maybe 40 seconds of a 7 or 8 play drive that takes up 4-5 minutes of actual game time. Christiano Ronaldo is in motion probably 3.5 minutes in the same 4-5 minutes, playing both offense and defense. No timeouts No substitutions when you're "tired" No standing breaks between plays |

Watch any soccer player and tell me they don’t take “breaks”. When the ball is on the opposite side of the pitch they will walk slowly or literally stand motionless for stretches of time. |

It sounds like they're similar to KC residents in that they love the K and Arrowhead and would rather keep their mystic via rebuilds, even if they're expensive.

In Spanish, real means "royal". This team was the chosen team of King Alfonso back in the early 1900s

They may "take breaks" as you put it, but there is no sitting down and no getting a "breather on the bench" either. |

When a soccer player has to get up and keep going 40 seconds after being hit by a 300 lb. man trying to hurt them, I'll start giving 2 shits about how rough they have it having to jog around the pitch for an hour. They are all soft as Charmin.

The acceleration and change of direction and deceleration can be eye opening. Since we are talking about football vs soccer this is an interesting video talking about why Messi is one of the best and it talks about his movement in comparison to a former Chiefs player of all people Jamaal Charles. |

Reek rarely gets hit by a 300 pound man. That being said you're talking out of your ass if you think it's just "jogging around". Have a good weekend.
