Entire article is here, but I'd like to point out this "highlight," which made even me cringe:

I guess Germany is a few decades behind us in developing cup technology.

I believe most soccer players don't wear cups. You don't normally get hit there. When I played youth soccer I never wore a cup.

I wasn't aware that soccer players had penises.

The only time a soccer player is in some danger of being hit in the goolies is when they form a wall outside the penalty area on a free kick. That's usually when the ball is kick straight at them so you'll often see the players covering up.

I'd be less concerned about getting hit "there" by a soccer ball than by a wayward foot/knee. But maybe that just happens a lot less than I'd think - my knowledge on this is limited as I haven't played soccer since the 4th grade.

I don't think football players wear cups do they? At least at the speed positions? You can't confortably run and cut in one. Hockey is the only sport I've played were it was pretty much mandatory.

I always wore a cup in high school football, I played the meathead positions though.
