American Football. Soccer doesn't even compare.

Not even close.
While I love both sports, one thing I cannot stand about soccer is how un-competitive the leagues are.. I mean it is a joke! People in America whine about the yankees winning too much, but I mean look at manchester united.. They've won like 15 out of the past 18 seasons in the premier league... No one other than Barcelona and Real Madrid can win La Liga No one other than Bayern Munich can win BL... I mean other than Serie A and MLS every league is a two horse race... The only hope any team has to succeed now is to be lucky enough to be bought by an oil billionaire like Manchester City..
While by themselves I like both sports equally, American football is so much better balanced it isn't even funny. Also things like REPLAYS make it so teams don't feel cheated out of wins because of horrible refs every other game.

My country is also the greatest on earth. Fitting that football only be practiced here. :P
Well, I think that my country is the greatest on Earth, so you're wrong :D
Ask most Americans and they'll say American Football. Ask the rest of the world and they'll say Soccer (Futbol/Football). Basically just ask if people are American or not.
For me it's American Football all the way. It excites me way more, there is more scoring, there are hard hits and tackling without someone barely tripping and going down holding their FACE or their shin and acting like they died, only to get up right after when a card comes out, or right after they're stretchered off or after the magical 'spray' is applied. Always makes me laugh when I see the funniest flops on YouTube. Reminds me of "Pro Wrestling" and they're 'stunts' they pull.
Here's a hilarious video that many of you might have seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppt7NdIj_yg&fb_source=message
