Because 2-2 is a high scoring game, because they go up and down the field multiple times without scoring, because it amounts to an entire game of passing the ball back and forth with some scoring mixed in (if you're lucky).

Who cares if football has breaks between plays? It's high intensity, the game happens at lightning fast speed, players at key positions (quarterback, wide receiver, running back, kick returners, pass rushers) make insanely athletic plays, the hits are tough and crushing.

As for one or the other make more skill, it's a bullsh*t argument, any sport takes a ton of talent to master.

I like soccer but I'll admit it is boring as **** a good percentage of the time.

I don't care for sports but football is way more entertaining then soccer.

By that logic, all video-games are boring due to load screens :o I mean, why can't I just play my game? But noooo! It's gotta be all stopstartstopstart!Setsa

Last time I checked, a large amount of load screens wasn't a quality people enjoyed in video games.

What's the difference between officially stopping play and knocking it around the pitch between defenders and the keeper? Not much. I love watching soccer and football, but your points are worthless and whiny.dodgerblue13

Because stopping play lets you know when there's nothing going on the field, with soccer there's nothing going on for the majority of the game.

Oh yeah, and as to why football rocks, because it's a highly strategic game with one-on-one matches going on throughout the game. If there's a speedster receiver good coaches find a way to gameplan him; if a team isn't great at passing they find a way to win with special teams, running, and defense; If the opposing team has a good pass rusher you double him and see if they can adjust.

It is personal opinion. Why do people call me smelly? Why is my neighbors grass more greener? Why is snow cold?Hemmaroids

I can see how some people get certain sports and not others.

I don't really like soccer, but where I live NFL fans never EVER shut the f*ck up. So, soccer gets my vote (I guess)VanHelsingBoA64

Football (soccer) > gridiron same answer every daypspdseagle

I have no problem calling football gridiron, why do you have such a problem calling football soccer?

I love to play soccer but not to watch. Most the time its just kicking the ball back in fourth trying to get even somewhat close to the goal.

But anways... Hockey > all

I find them both boring to watch, though I don't mind playing soccer though and wouldn't want to play football. And I just don't particularly care for sports in general.

They are both fun to play, but I prefer watching rugby.

because 95% of the time all you are doing is watching people jog. 4% of the time they sprint. And 1% of the time, something exciting happens.

I love soccer, or I should say, I love playing soccer. My favorite sport as a child.

But for watching, it doesnt get any worse. I'd rather watch golf.

And why do people always compare soccer to football? Why not compare soccer to baseball? Or golf? Or curling?

Soccer is boring because I don't understand the stratagies involved nor do I care enough to learn them.

Soccer is boring because all you do is watch a bunch of people run around flopping until someone scores 1 goal after an hour. Then jump around and have a gay orgy.

Matter of opinion really, I sometimes enjoy watching soccer. I prefer tennis and golf though.chessmaster1989

My dad loves watching golf, I can't understand it for the life of me. It's not that I dislike the sport either, I actually enjoy playing it very much.

I dislike rugby almost as much as soccer. Watching rugby makes me appreciate the pauses in play during gridiron.

I think it's because hockey is faster paced, and they have some really tough hits. I also think hockey has far more shots on goal than soccer, partly due to the field of play being shorter.
