guess it depends on your background. I dont watch either , regularly . I'll watch World Cup/Euro, some of the NFL playoffs . How the fuck can a person sit through a whole basketball game?-HOW?
Soccer is a true team sport, perhaps the truest -- you can have the best player in the world, wont amount to much unless other pieces are stable. he wont get touches-unlike basketball or even NFL (very QB-dependent ). Its also a tough sport to play --gotta play it to appreciate it. Looks 'easy'.....try it , get on the pitch .. And if you're not in shape? lol. There's a reason certain countries are always the favs at the WC. Others have no chance, just fillers .
