i rather watch football as well but i personally think soccer players are some of the most skillful athletes in the world I mean they don't even use their hands. Football is the least skilled. They get to use every part of their body when playing and they have to knock each other down. I'm not saying it isnt exciting and they dont have talent but soccer players are extremely full of skill
soccer or football

Yea, The skill to spend all day trying to hit each other in the nuts.
The more variables there are. (like hitting and using more parts of the body) Means that the skill required is higher.
Skill is specific to a sport. So even that argument is a little off color.
Soccer players are not going to be as good at football, Football players are not going to be as good at soccer.

ok well think about it dude its much easier to tackle a person and run into them than control a ball like soccer players do you dont kno what your saying. I'm not even saying soccer is better than football cuz football is the best but when it comes to skill you apparently have the wrong definition of what "skill" really is
Blondes or Brunettes? Both
Cheeseburger or Hot Dogs? Hotdogs
Beer or Mixed Drinks? Water
Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston? BOTH!!
ohh and Soccer or Football? most defiantley football
I love football because I grew up watching it with my grandfather and so I have a lot of really good memories associated with football.
I love soccer since I've come to coach it. I never appreciated it before because I thought of it as the game where you just kick a ball back and forth and hopefully you can get a point here and there while the clock keeps ticking and ticking and ticking.
I'm now starting to really get into lacrosse.

Not really, in Soccer you need to keep control of a ball outside of your body without using your arms, US football allows you to pick the bloody ball up with your hands! I doubt you'll ever convince me that it involves more skill to keep control of a ball with your hands than with your feet.
I love all sports and played the majority of them and I have to say that the two sports I've found to demand a great level of technical ability before you become good are Soccer (It hurts me to have to call it that) and Cricket.
I don't think US football can ever be compaired to Soccer in terms of skill until the same set of players are present for every play in both attack and defence and they don't get a breather after every play.
Lol, lighten up, not every discussion needs to have the prospect of an agreeable outcome. There can never be an answer to a question that has no quantifiable way of measuring the subject.
However it can be fun to just make your point about why you love your game (soccer) more than that crap they play in the US
i like to play soccer, but watching it is really booring. When theres a good game, lots of goals on both sides its fun, but usually its 0-0 or 1-0, so its kind of boring. If only the soccer community had seen what a friggin great idea Drillo (norwegian soccer coach) had about increasing the size of the goals, soccer would have been fun to watch.
on a lighter note.. both!
I played soccer growing up so I love soccer.. to play (boring to watch though IMO!)
Football on the other hand, grew up playing that in the yard with my brother and the neighborhood kids (good memories) and love to watch it.
The problem for you guys is that your professional league is rubbish (MLS isn't it?). I'm sure I'd get bretty bored watching that too.
