rugby is safe...the rules are you have to tackle below the waste.....there aint many injurys in rugby

I've attempted to watch numerous euro and spanish soccer games (had to turn it off after about 10 minutes because it was so terribly boring). Every game it's the same thing. One team gets teh ball, dribbles it into the other teams territory, gets somewhat close to the goal, then the defense gets the ball away from them and slowly moves it into the other teams defensive zone, then the defense takes it and slowly moves it back to the other zone, at some point someone gets tripped and there's a yellow card and they have a little sissy fit. Then after a while there's some half assed shot on goal that a cripple could block. This goes on for a while, eventually someone on offense gets behind the the defense on the other team and scores an easy goal that you could see coming about 10 seconds before he even takes the shot.At least football is somewhat spontanious, every play may be a game winner or may be a dud. It's not predictable. In soccer a good 2/3 of the time you can see a goal coming a mile away.
watchin it for 10 minutes? u should watch it longer..then judge
i know from watching many games...they always start off slow...but then hots up after a few minutes....like i said..some games can be dull...u probably was unlucky
