A thought about European football. (soccer)?

I've always wondered why a player would spend $5000 on a pair of boots then spend the better part of the game kicking the ball with his head? What do you think?

    Cleats really aren't that expensive... You still need the cleats to run around the field. In soccer you run a lot and most of the time, you're kicking the ball. It's not like they're only heading the ball. For your information, soccer (football) is the most popular sport in the world. Baseball, American football, and basketball have a very small following anywhere else in this world besides the US. Why do baseball players bother buying cleats when they don't run very often?

    Source(s): I'm a soccer player.

    Most get them free from sponsorships with Nike and Adidas, etc.

    And anyway, you can't 'kick' with your head.

    Person above me seems not to know anything, as Soccer is the world's most played game, more popular then any other sport.

    Soccer's not a popular sport. Most people watch football, basketball or baseball. Maybe soccer dudes spend money on their attire to get some attention...
