Yup weve even got those nasty buggers, tiger mosquitos. This time of year it's advisable to use repellent a couple of times a day.

I mean...we Italians have a word, football...but by il football we exclusively mean this American football - Wikipedia
In fact we don't add American because football is that sport only.

I mean ...
I live in a country of soccermaniacs...
you're perfectly right...it's so annoying to see all soccer players trying to fake injuries all the time...
I don't know soccer rules at all...I guess it's how they can kick the ball in front of the goalkeeper.

"Soccer" is a British term that USA adopted & kept.

Why Do Americans Call It Soccer Instead of Football? Blame England

Many people don't realize that “soccer” is not in fact an American invention

Hockey players are probably the toughest.

Is Soccer More Dangerous Than American Football? - Metro League

Football is one of the most popular sports in America, and with good reason- it's incredibly fun to watch. However, more than one out of ten injuries

www.metroleague.org

WHICH SPORT HAS THE MOST BROKEN BONES?​

Football has a high rate of broken bones, which may be due to the physicality and force exerted by players. The sport with the lowest fracture rate is volleyball; this could be because it requires less physicality and force from players.

Ice hockey has a significantly higher fracture rate than most other sports, likely due to its fast-paced playstyle. Other sports with high rates of fractures include rugby (5 per 10 000 athlete exposures) and basketball (4 per 10 000 athlete exposures).

It’s important to take precautions while playing any sport in order to avoid breaking your bones.

WHAT IS THE MOST PAINFUL SPORT?​

Water polo is one of the most violent sports in the world and can be quite painful for players. It’s disguised as a benign exercise, but it’s really one of the most dangerous sports out there.

Physical abuse is rampant in water polo, with players punching, kicking, scratching and dunking their opponents underwater without mercy. Despite being labeled as an “exercise”, water polo is actually very dangerous and should only be attempted by those who are extremely fit and experienced athletes.

If you’re thinking about trying water polo, make sure you have a lot of stamina because it can be incredibly brutal

Surprised to learn that water polo is the most painful sport. It must also be rather cumbersome with all those horses in a pool.

Back in the UK we had a neighbour who played lacrosse. He was always comimg home from games with plasters, bandages, slings and broken bones. He never enjoyed himself so much as having to get fixed up in hospital.

Lacrosse is the third most dangerous sport, ahead of boxing and rugby​

never had an injury....ever. I dislike injuries.

Hugging....not as bad, but I'd rather not.

Don't worry, fetid revolting ones are not on my list.
