TONI KROOS DOES NOT WEAR SHIN GUARDS?

We all know about Toni Kroos and his football boots that he hasn't changed in years, but what about his shin guards, or lack thereof? He doesn't seem to wear shin guards at all! Is that allowed by FIFA? Is he wearing something else instead? Is that unsafe? All of these questions and more will be answered in this video! Would you play without shin guards if you could?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

Apparently everyone has there own idea of how to pronounce "Kroos". I've heard it pronounced multiple different ways, with the seemingly most correct way of saying it being the way that I say it in this video, at least that's what I'm trying to do. If that's not exactly how you say it, I'm sorry. Enjoy the video. Joosh.

[@ethanproctorr]

Soccer Reviews For You *joosh* I laughed so hard my parents looked at me like Sweden looked after Kroos scored the last minute goal

[@stonieda]

U can pronounce it like cruise :)

[@tilmanwillms9584]

I have never heard anyone ever say kraus just wrong

[@keysersoze7663]

that pronunciation man, jeez.. i am german so let me tell you: just pronounce it kinda like "crows" (english speakers tend to say it like "crews" or "cruise" or "cruz", which is wrong), but without the gliding from the "o" sound to the "u" sound, so it's like you are leaving out the "w" and you are getting something like "cro's". the double o's are simply a stretched "o" sound.

[@stonieda]

hodensakko digger man sagt Kroos und ned kraus

[@cedric_063]

As a german it really hurts me how you say Kroos

[@Whadatd]

cedric_063 then how do you say it

[@stonieda]

xX-zim-Xx like cruise

[@trollloloololooo]

xX-zim-Xx I'm not german but I think hard k then roos with the o being pronounced like orange but 2x longer because it's 2 o's and not 1

[@trollloloololooo]

stonieda that's just how english say it but it's not right. I'm a finn and the german pronunciation is logical to me.

[@stonieda]

Being a brazilian, we played in the streets barefoot and that was what always kept me comfortable. I never achieved to go to any high level league, but i never wore shingards, and cleats were a problem for me as well. Playing alot of futsal makes u kind of hate the studs, ball roll in a wet environment is like almost impossible, idk just completely different. Maybe im just ghetto and doesnt know better but it was just very shitty me when i had to wear them

[@rickkimotho]

I know I don't play any high level soccer but I'm not a fan of shin guards. For me, they feel kinda heavy and odd for me. I've played barefoot football/soccer all my life and wearing cleats wasn't as odd as shin guards feel for me. I've had a couple of knocks which have left me limping sometimes but it doesn't keep me off the beautiful game..lol

[@rumdore]

Rick Kimotho in division 3 Sunday league football if you don't wear shin pads your shins will be snapped😂

When I played amateur football, they wouldn't let you play without shin pads.

Here in the hungarian sunday league I use a piece of cardboard as a shin guard LMAO.

Guess something else Toni Kroos is missing ? Last 16 classification

[@jr4653]

I’m from uk. Few years ago in a Sunday league match a team mate of mine got a yellow card for consistently letting his socks go down and exposing his shin pads. Apparently the edges of the shin pads are considered dangerous and it is against the rules to have any part of them showing. Also, much like Toni Kroos; Francesco Totti, Rui Costa and Juan Veron wore next to nothing as shin pads. Always gave me the impression that they were never gonna put in a tackle or run very much in the game. It just looks unprofessional but at their level i don’t think that statement works lol.

[@ruthsquire958]

Totti broke his shin and then had one of the most protective shinguards of all time made for him. These are the Diadora Totti shinguards and they cover the entire shin.

[@cjewe1z]

​@@ruthsquire958good. He learned the hard way that his eccentricity had no benefits.

[@matthewdooley9046]

With the base layer thing, it’s actually the colour of the SLEEVES that dictate what colour the base layer is ie Arsenal wear white base layer and West Ham wear blue base layer.

Legally you just need to have somthing under the socks, as long as the player deems it enough protection it's legal, you could wear paper if you wanted, dumb idea to wear paper but its within the rules

We had a school tournament in which one of our players forgot his shing guard and the ref sent him out to get some. He ended up putting two juice boxes inside his socks and the ref couldn't tell the difference.

the only way dribblers are able to play through and dribble past a couple of defenders after a handful of bad shin to shin tackles is because they are wearing shin guards, it's less painful that way.

Just saw this video. And you're right, he does wear shin guards. He answered this question on his twitter awhile back. Wish I could've taken a screen shot. I believe it was part of his #asktoni Q&A. Kroos said that it was an older model shin guard. Wish we knew which brand/model.

He does... it's a thin shin guard , officials will not let u walk on the field without a shin guard ( I'm talking about my own experience)

[@ulis8987]

I'll have to disagree with just one statement made in this video. Shin guards can definitely be bought in all different shapes, sizes, and materials, but as a college player myself I know without a doubt they protect against major injuries. When two individuals are going for the ball and crash their shins together it can surely result in a fracture. Guards are safe and very functional but it is up to the player on how "functional" he wants his guards and gear to be... thanks

That’s nice, but when the parents of the crying 9-year-old start suing your league for not enforcing safety measures, you will understand why. I don’t practice with shinguards myself, but as a referee you have to worry about liability more than comfort of players. I love you too.

[@carlhedgins]
