I grew up being a huge fan of soccer (that was my no 1. sport). I went to almost all home games of my team. Probably didn't miss a lot of games on tv. So I know and understand soccer. Since about 1995 I have been following American football and know it now very well too. And, IMHO, comparing the two sports, American football wins in terms of being much more interesting game.
