Soccer is much harder than baseball. But I'm sure everyone can hit a ball with a bat. It's not that hard. Among the reasons why soccer is better than baseball, it's a true sport that requires great talent. The purpose of a sport is to challenge yourself in it.

LOL... I see your point. that's like saying anyone can kick a ball. I agree, looks easy.

Well, you need arms and legs to play baseball, but only legs to play soccer. So baseball must be twice as hard. But to be a spectator of either one, now that's hard!

Baseball was my favourite when I was in high school, but right now, I only prefer soccer. The reason is straightforward that my husband is a big fan of soccer and never miss any single match. He has played for this college, but now due to several family duties and job, he doesn't play it anymore.

Even on his birthday and events like Christmas I only gift him soccer-related stuff, and this time, I am thinking of these soccer socks. Yeah! they are specially designed in the memory of great Brazilian, Argentine and other soccer players. I hope he would like this. If you have more ideas, then you can also share. Definitely, my vote goes for soccer.

hard to compare the quickest sport to the longest sport. besides US doesn't have primetime soccer games yet. the best soccer is played in afternoons over in europe so not a lot of people can watch it live.

I find this extremely funny. Sounds like someone who has never swung a bat. Sure you can swing it, but you will not the ball.


That said. I have no opinion of the OP.

I’m going with baseball. Might be biased though, as my Grandson just recently competed at Cooperstown where they came in 5th out of 62 teams.
He knows how to swing a bat with two HRs, including a grand slam.
Yea…I know… grandpa is boasting.

Its funny how a sport with some of the biggest nets/goals is so low scoring

Look at indoor lacrosse a huge goalie and a tiny net and they get 15-20 regularly

With Canada now eliminated we can now get back to real sports like Hockey and Football
