American Football is a very complicated and strategic sport, soccer is strategic too, but not like American Football.

In American Football they spend a lot of time in the middle of the field too, except many exciting things can happen and hardly anybody pretends to fall and pretends to be hurt. I know this opinion will make some learners mad, but at least you're practicing some English!
