There's way too many stoppages, no real spirit in the stadiums.
Barely any skill required, just physical ability and the odd kick or throw.

fucking awful sport

proper football requires far greater skill, you can't argue with that- it just does.

you use your hands all the time to pick stuff up and so you have more control over something.
much harder to use your feet, or head, or chest.

There are 11 people ton the field, 1 person has the ball, and he passes it to 1 other person. In American Football, if 1 person blows an assignment the whole play is trash, in Euro football if one person fucks up and he is not the one with the ball, it is of little issue.

It doesn't, besides, that is one soccer player, not all of them. Also, the goal is too large, you can be off by more than a foot and still score, in hockey if you are off by more than a few inches the shot doesn't even get on net.

Plus, you can use your hands in soccer. I would say soccer is more skillful if you had to catch the ball with your legs and run down the field on your hands. Then and only then.

football is a contact sport and there's every possibility that someone 60lbs heavier than you could 'drive you into the dirt' as you put it.
only the GOALKEEPER can use his hands in football, and considering the goals are 8ft tall and 24ft wide it is common sense to allow the keeper to do that.
catch the ball with your legs? fucking idiot
and what the hell do you mean 'once on net' stop speaking in some weird american way.
like the way you all say defence, it's one word, not DEE FENCE as you nancy boys put it.

There's every possibility for contact, but it is frowned upon and certain to get a red card.

Soccer is not a contact sport, aside from a little dry humping, contact is not allowed.

If they were so skillful they would be able to cath the ball with their feet and walk down field on their hands. Since they can't, I must consider american football more difficult.
