    Moving on to scoring, American football awards a team six points for a touchdown (carrying the ball into the opponent's end zone by running or passing and catching the ball), one point for an extra point (kicking the ball through the uprights after a touchdown), three points for a field goal (kicking the ball through the uprights) and two points for a safety (tackling a player from the other team with the ball in their own end zone). In soccer points are scored by kicking the ball into the net. The players cannot use their hands whatsoever to score or pass. The only player who can use their hands is the goalie (the player who protects the ball from making it into the net). A football field is 120 yards long, including two 10-yard deep end zones on both sides and about 30 yards wide. A soccer field can range anywhere from 100 yards to 130 yards and 50 yards to 100 yards wide.…

    Two forty-five minute half’s, eleven players on each team, one goal on each side of the field separated by one hundred twenty yards of grass. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. (Most Popular Sport in the World) The game is played in over two hundred and four countries around the world. The sport is officiated by four referees; a center head referee, two sideline referees, and one in charge of substitutions. In past years a lot of criticism has been addressed to the game of soccer and how it could be improved. It is criticized for not being a man sport and that the players are always pretending to get fouled. The main thing that has been critiqued is the judgment of the calls by the referee’s .The most popular of improvements that has come to attention that could change this is, goal line technology. Goal line technology would determine whether the ball has crossed any line on the field and most importantly the goal line. Once crossed, it would signal the head referee resulting in a goal. Before the introduction of these new changes the game had been played just fine. It was solely up to the referees to make a call on what they believed or saw in the game. I believe that goal line technology should not be incorporated into the game of soccer due to the facts that it would slow down the flow of the game, and take away from the history of the sport, as well as imposing more costs for teams to implement and train the use of technology.…
