Yes they can. My soccer team wears spandex shorts under our shorts and when we play in the freezing cold, we wear spandex leggings. They are very effective.
spandex also known as compression shorts
I think both the jersey and shorts have to be of another co lour.
No- because a soccer ball can not travel fast enough to cause serious injury. They usually wear briefs under their soccer shorts. Although taking a block to the groin doesn't feel amazing still.
some soccer players are called professional soccer players
Spandex Shorts. Usually black in colour, unless told otherwise by the coach. An example are the 3 inch - 7inch Under Armour Spandex Shorts.
Lycra running shorts are a good way to help prevent chaffing during exercising. They are available online at www.runoutlet.com. You can also go to many major retail stores for spandex that you can wear under your running shorts.
A player must wear a shirt, shorts, shoes, socks, and shin guards. Everything else would fall under the set of "items not required to play."
No you don't have to wear spandex if you really don't want to. From experience (playing for 6 years+) you move better with spandex, its really comfortable, and despite what your previous judgement is on them, they really aren't that bad. I prefer them to any shorts and wear them a lot under dresses and skirts. But do whatever you feel comfortable in.
