Rugby is A far tougher SPort than American Football and I have played both, but even though I prefer American Football, THey are two different Animals. Don't be Hateful because American Football is flashier, Just be glad that you can get cauliflower Ear and Look all Hard and Mean even when you are not on the Field err I mean "pitch". Rugby just does not have the appeal that Football has to Americans, so I am sure all European and other nations might agree with you but not most Americans. We all Know that it takes no skill at all to THrow a 40 Wide out, let alone Catch one. Let's not forget that there are ZERO precision Skills needed or any need for true athleticism in any of the American ( Say The Word "American" With Disgust Here) PRo Football Positions and that all American Quarterbacks are way overpaid, because anyone can do that job.

Football demands far more skill than gridiron [steroid ball]. You have to be fit to play football and have technical abilities. Depends on what you mean. If you are comparing American football with normal football (aka soccer), then undoubtedly, if you take a global perspective, the answer is normal football, or soccer.If you are wondering what to call the sport, then call it football. Do not call it soccer. If you are looking to avoid getting hit, than soccer is better for you. If you are looking for a sport that revolves around physical conflict, than football is better for you. If you are looking just to watch a sport than perhaps you should try ballet. ----------------- Answer. Football is sometimes called soccer after the football association. But the official name is football, so they are the same. If you were referring to gridiron [American football] then this is a code of rugby. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All forms of football (Association, Rugby Union, Rugby League, Gaelic, Aussie Rules) have the same basic idea - to take a ball into the opponents half and score goals (including touchdowns and tries). The team structure is basically the same (offense and defense) although adapted to deal with the varying rules of each code. The important element of each code is TEAMWORK, the world's best quarterback is no use without a solid offense, the world's best striker no good without a midfield to back him up. Both forms of the game require specialised players with different skills. Whether you find one form better than the other will depend on your own cultural background, skill level/ability and personal preference.
