Why do soccer players look so DYEL and unatheletic?

I started watching EURO 2016 a few days ago.

they have no muscles and look just very skinny

why aren't they built well like football, basketball, baseball and hockey players?

Because its a sport that favours cardio and speed over power. Not much need to be strong for most players. Same reason marathon runners aren't jacked and sprinters are.

>>37835648
because soccer is a sport for wogs, sheilas and poofs
>>
>>37835648
because you don't need to be very strong to play soccer, you need to run fast and be able to run for very long periods of time

there are 3 swaps per game which leaves 7 players (goalie is naturally less intense) running for the full 90 minutes plus discount

soccer is also much less explosive than bball or football

i'm not saying it wouldn't help for them to be big and strong but they don't need to be. cardio and explosiveness is way more important.

>mfw watching iceland vs italy and every italian "man" is noticeably shorter than every icelander

If you had decided to think for five seconds, the answer would have come to you.

The reason is that playing soccer does not require physical strength and girthy musculature. You just need cardio and to be dexterous with your legs

If you get too big you wont have the agility and dexterity needed to play.

That said most elite football players are in peak physical condition, only /fit/ mongs would say they're DYEL and have no muscles.
