Powell 1 Grayson Powell LeAnne Garner English 1010 1 December 2010 Football Versus Futbol Football Association, better known in America as soccer, is the single most popular sport in the entire world. While football is one of the most popular sports in America, soccer is loved and favored in countries all over the world. Having played both soccer and football in high school, I feel that soccer is a more difficult sport to play than football, because it is a sport that requires a great amount of skill, concentration, and endurance. There are many reasons why soccer is better than football. Soccer is the original football.
Here are a couple of reasons why soccer has become my favorite sport. One thing I have learned is how to communicate with my fellow teammates. If there is no communication, you do not know if an opponent is coming after the ball from behind you or if someone is open to pass the ball. Communication is a very important key to playing on a soccer team or any other sports team for that matter. It is impossible to play soccer without communicating with your teammates.
Who is your favorite sports athlete right now? Is it Derrick Rose, Eli Manning, Landon Donovan or Derek Jeter? Would you still be able to find their jersey in 15 or 20 years?

Kids in Africa only need a ball to go play soccer; they already have the space and time. If kids in Africa had the same opportunities as Americans, they would be the best soccer team in the world. Americans have public fields and an easier way to make money. If Africans had these benefactors, they could spend more time playing organized soccer and would be twice as good as before.
On the track to modernization of Latin American countries, football was overlooked, but once other aspects of modernization began to occur, the importance of modernizing football became essential. As modernity of Latin American countries moved forward in the more expected and traditional areas of commerce, economics, industrialization, technology, and socialization, football was inevitably drawn into its circle of influence. This influence and modernization of what was at one time a sport considered more an art form, raised football to the level of an essential cultural identity unique to Latin American countries. Before any notions of modernity made its way onto Latin American soil, the way of life for the people was outdated and behind the times. Unpaved and skinny roads were the sights that lined city interiors.
This difference in the way they play has an influence on the goal score on both sports. In soccer a one point goal is scored by putting the ball into a net. Instead, in American football, a six point goal is scored by touching the ball down over a goal line. Therefore, the mechanism of American football resulted in more action, like the 80-yard touchdown pass and the 3 point field goal. These provide more instant action than the average soccer game, resulting in much higher scoring averages than soccer.

Lets imagine it is the Champions League final between Borussia Dortmund and FC Barcelona, both teams are eager to win and sacrifice everything in order to do so. The German team leads by one goal in the 90th minute of the game, however after a corner kick the Spanish players managed to get out of their own half quickly and to counter with one last, crucial attack. Two Barcelona players rush towards the goal with only one opposing defender and the goalkeeper standing between them and the saving equaliser. The only defender in position manages to force the striker in control of the ball further to the side-line, making a pass to his team mate rather risky. The striker now has to respond with only two acceptable choices left; he can either go for the dribbling or try to pass it to the other striker.
