    The other difference is the aim of the game. While football use touchdowns to score where the defense has to use every mean to stop the competing team from scoring. In this regard, a soccer team is considered as a whole. The defense depends on the team that has the ball at a time since some of the midfielders have to be involved in defense when the competing team is having the ball. In such a scenario, midfielders of the team that is controlling the ball will be acting as an offensive.

    Who doesn’t get excited watching Super Bowl or FIFA World Cup? The anticipation of “who’s going to win?” is always the golden question. The commercials and entertainment running during the Super Bowl makes it a yearly social event even for non football fans. In the same way soccer fans wait anxiously every four years to watch FIFA World Cup. The popularity of these two sports, soccer and American Football, is all over the world. The growing excitement fans feel is mutual but these two sports are far from being similar. They are individually different in sport histories, equipments, and in competing for different championship.…

    The NFL and NCAA football have lots of things in common, but I like to lean toward the NFL for being better to watch. The National Football League (NFL) was founded in 1920, and only two teams currently in the NFL is the Decatur Stanleys now the Chicago Bears and the Chicago Cardinals now the Arizona Cardinals. College football was founded on November 6, 1869, and it’s played by student athletes. They both have their good and bad with the rules but I love how the NFL rules are played out. It’s a difference how the players are ruled down in the leagues. To be ruled down in the NFL the runner must have been touched any sort of way by the opposing team. In college a player is down whenever any part of his body other than his hands or his feet…

    “When I meet a European, the first thing I say is, “I’d much rather watch football than football.” But I’m just teasing them, and they know I’d really rather watch football than football.” (Jarod Kintz). Football and soccer are two very different sports but at the same time they do have some similarities. Football is very much a contact and strength sport and soccer is more of a technique sport. But football does require technique as well, and soccer requires more contact than one might think. Differences include scoring, gameplay, field size, equipment, and game length.…

    One day I watched a football game and observed the spectators present that day. There were fans from both the teams, school newspaper staff, yearbook staff, former high school football players, the players' relatives, and other spectators. At the end of the game, I asked my high school team's wide receiver and friend, " Why do want to a score a touchdown?" to which he replied, "For the audience." From then I realized that football players are aware of the audience when they play. They are aware of their fans, journalists, and the people who learn from the game. Football players play well to impress their audience and get better comments from journalists. In the case of my friend, his awareness towards the audience motivated him to play well and had his dream to…
