Injuries are harmful and players can get injured playing soccer. The United States Soccer Federation's Advice to Referees on the Laws of the Game states, "Soccer is a tough, combative, contact sport."

Referees allow tough, combative contact, as long as it doesn't infringe on the Laws of the Game - which, by the way, prohibit may kinds of contact, particularly when it is careless, reckless, employs excessive force, or endangers the safety of an opponent. Violent conduct will get a player thrown out of a game.

Sprains, ACL injuries and even broken bones are not that rare in competitive soccer.

On the other hand, soccer provides cardio-vascular benefits. Also, because much of the running is sprinting, soccer builds strength throughout the body.

Lack of exercise is associated with a whole host of harmful maladies.

Because soccer is a game, those that like it may be more likely to get exercise from it than they would get from forms of exercise that soccer players might not be as motivated to do.
