Which sport do you think is better and why. Ironically I can't watch both sports without dosing off now. I don't want to sound stupid, but oh well. I enjoy the FIFA video games more than Madden. I tried learning soccer in high school, but didn't commit to it. I sucked anyway.

Well, I am about to make myself sound stupid. I have watched football a few times and I find the rules and what happens to very complicated and hard to understand so maybe I am dumb but I do get the rules and goings on of other sports though like baseball, hockey, basketball but for some reason, I find football hard to grasp.

As to soccer, its not on tv a lot here but when I have seen it, I do not get how the goals are so low. The net is huge and is only one person guarding it so wouldn't they get more goals in than say hockey. IDK. Maybe if I had an opportunity to see it more on tv, I would understand its concepts better. Its hard to understand something you hardly ever get to view.

Your not dumb when it comes to football. They just made more rules on top of rules and so many things that are unnecessary so it is confusing to some people. I don't understand like that anymore and I played the sport.

I enjoy American football more, but that doesn't mean I think one is "better" than the other, as it they are two completely different sports. It would be like comparing apples and oranges.

Okay, I am glad you are confused too so now I know its not just me.


I do find it funny that, if I am understanding correctly, you can do any dance you want after touchdown but just do not drop to one knee on the field as that is excessive celebration but doing the Funky Chicken across the field is just fine.

Soccer seems more fun playing than watching.

I've also always been confused at the rules of American football. Then again, I've never had anyone try to teach me. Then again, I've never had any interest in learning. Then again . . . you get the point.

I don't really care for either, but I usually don't like sports, period. I could maybe watch baseball. For a few minutes.
