Im an american girl.  \nThere is no sport better than soccer (im american, sorry.)\nThere is NOTHING more pure than a players excitement and joy in scoring a goal.  The celebration has no ego in it as other sports encounter.  its a happiness that now the players team has a point..on their way to winning.  I see it as more of a team sport than most.  Great skill and physical form in each player.  \nnow put the worlds greatest teams together...its good matches all around.  \nWhy do the fans get so obsessed with who they support?  lol dont know that.  im not a face painter.  yet.\nThats a sociological question.  but i love it!\nIt very much feels like being apart of something BIG when watching EVERYTHING leading up to the final.  If i could see the preliminaries or the friendlies even that would be great!\nJust ENJOY what you do watch!!!  i hope you become a face painter too!!!  :D

The same reason people don't like other things. Despite what Europe would believe, not every in America likes (American) football. It's all relative. Also, here in America, I have dozens of different sports to choose from on TV. And compared to football, basketball, baseball and the new hockey, soccer doesn't really have a lot of scoring. And despite what soccer fans like to tell themself about "oh, you don't need scoring for it to be exciting, 1-0 games are awesome!" No, they're not. Scoring is way more exciting. I have never heard one single soccer announcer scream after a nice touch "PAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!"

If you hate football as much as I do then there is nothing I hate more. Well maybe with the exception of violence or American football. Oh actually, there are cricket and golf which are more boring but they're not forced on people. I wanted to take my mum out for a drink cos she helped me clean the house but everywhere has one of those big screen things. It wasn't even England playing! I don't know when it ends but it not soon enough. I don't mind other people watching it in their own hime but I don't see why I should sacrifice my own enjoyment for people spending more time in what should be a quiet rural pub.\nOh and you up there saying "actually it's soccer" I don't even like the thing but I'm having to explain that it is football in it's most primative form. Soccer means association football, then you have rugby football, then you have rugby football with padding(commonly known as American football)\nAnd whoever said "most" people like it, how can you be sure of that? I'd be very surprised if more people want all this waste of space.

I'm assuming you mean American football, not soccer.\nWell I don't like football because\n1. in a two hour game there's usually only 25-30 minutes of game action. The rest is filler such as, huddles, time outs, replays, referee call, etc.\n2. Football pretends to be a really tough man sport but the players wear tons of padding and a helmet.\n3. OVERPRICED MILLIONAIRES Play this game professionally

There are so many different aspects compared to Americna football.  Soccer involves so much creativitiy among players with the ball and without. Reading another players mind before he makes a play, pass, run or shot. The commorodity you build on a successful team.  The best answer for you is you really have to play to truely understand. (Which I recomend)

The Premiership is the best and most entertaining league in the world. It may not always have as much skill involved as the Spainish league but who wants to watch a bunch of fairies dancing about anyway. The English Premiership is fast and aggressive, alot of top players can't adapt to it because of this. It makes games much more exciting.

Because soccer or I shall say football is one of the most played games in the entire world, except USA. \n\nThe world is hooked on it, just like americans watch superbowl and would kill someone if anyone would try to stop them. Hence, football puts the fighting on the field with 22 players.\n\nIts an awesome sport if you play professionaly. I spent 12 years playing it, its awesome.\n\nFootball is diplomacy with balls!

I guess cus its a really good sport; something even low-income people can enjoy. soccer has (what i think) the most simplest rules compared to other sports. Go Brazil! ^o^

If you're talking about gridiron, I don't like it because 90 minutes of footy takes about 5 hours, the players wear too much protective gear, and it's incomprehensible. But it's still better than soccer. At least there is some scoring.

I don't think you can really compare the two besides the fact that you have to be very athletic to play either professionally.  Football is much more physical and requires different skills.

there can be many different reasons why people like soccer so much. i play soccer && i like it because i can kick a soccer ball around almost anywhere && it relaxes me. i also like soccer because it takes time && effort to learn new tecniques, and i am more than willing to take the time to learn. i love getting on the field and fighting with all i have && the feeling of accomplishment is outstanding. My fav. part is pushing && being aggressive!

Football is the best, it's very competitive, where any team can beat anyone, it's not like that in most other sports. It's a simple game, anyone can learn it and understand with a little time. In most game it's close, making it exciting and this keeps people glued to the game. It's also very fun to play, well, that's if you don't mind taking a hit or two.\n\nBaseball is fun to play, but anymore it's the same teams winning and loosing year after year. It's also a slow game.
