Football vs Soccer

I have been around a lot of discussions about football and soccer lately.  Mostly, arguments about which one is better.  My personal preference is football, I grew up football, soccer was just a ball we tried to kick as far and high as we could.  Now don't get me wrong, I respect the skills it takes to play soccer, but it is just not my sort of game.  Here are 4 reasons I think football is a better sport.

1.  Football is the ultimate team sport.  Soccer does not need 11 guys doing the right thing in order to be successful.  During a typical football play, you need 11 guys doing their job for the play to work.  If two guys slack off, then the play won't work.

2. More scoring.  If you watched any Oklahoma Sooner football game this year, you noticed how enjoyable it was to see a great offense at work.  Points were scored at will and I just loved watching them light it up.  Even a low scoring football game can be fun to watch because you know at some point the other team is going to break through the defense.  Soccer on the other hand just doesn't have the ability to light up the scoreboard.  However, if every soccer game ended in a shoot out with a hot girl taking her shirt off, I would probably watch it more.

3.  More strategy.  Football has thousands of different plays that can be ran from hundreds of different formations.  Also, the defense can run many different types of fronts, blitz's, stunts, and coverages.  Special teams are also very unique, many different ways to run them.  Soccer just does not have that many x's and o's.

4.  Physical Contact.  I know that soccer has physical contact, but not 22 different guys going after each other every play of the game.  Which most of the time is between 150 to 200 plays if not more.  I have seen some tough hits during the course of a soccer game, but not as many as I have seen watching football.  I would much rather let Pele tackle me than Dick Butkus or Ray Lewis.

Lets face it, football is a better sport.  What is your argument?
