Soccer -
A game of continuous play until the ball goes out of play, a foul occurs or a goal is scored. It is played with eleven players on each team who are playing for the whole game with a handful of substitutions. The ball is round and is controlled only by kicking. It is only the goalkeeper who is allowed to touch the ball with his hands. Scoring is one point for getting the ball into the opposing team's goal.
American football -
A game of numerous plays that last for seconds. The teams have discrete offensive or defensive roles. Substitutions are frequent throughout the game. The ball is controlled with hands and is rarely kicked with a foot. Offensive play is aimed at achieving a first down by moving the ball forward at least ten yards within four separate plays. Defensive play is aimed at preventing a first down. Scoring is by touchdown, field goal or a try.
