They are not alike at all. They are totally different.
Answer
Soccer (Association football) and American football have common origins in that they both evolved from a medieval Shrovetide ball game played in England called 'fote-ball'. Other European countries also played Shrovetide ball games by different names from different languages which were very similar to the Shrovetide game played in England. The codes for Soccer and Rugby football both contributed to the creation of the American football code with Rugby having the greatest influence. However, American football is played with 11 players as is Soccer whereas Rugby Union football 15 players and Rugby league football played with 13 per team. Other similarities include a pitch, two goals, two teams, match officials upholding the rules, played in football stadiums and probably most importantly of all football games are supported by two sets of fans without which all forms of football would be still be little more than physical education subject on a school curriculum.
