Well, bear in mind that football players have tons of pads on. Soccer players have shin guards and that's it. A lot of guys don't even wear cups. And shin guards don't help much when someone slides and spikes your ankle.

We have a bunch of Ecuadorians and Portugese where I live. Lots of flags and jerseys on display.
