american football is extremely intense. similar to HIIT. you might not think it's much but you're going all out, compared to soccer where you just go at 50% most of the game. If you did give it your all you would tire out in a matter of seconds, which is why american football has those rest periods. Iunno if you've wrestled before, but those 90 seconds of wrestling may seem short, but damn, the intensity of it. Once you've wrestled, everything else in life is easy.
Soccer is more a long distance cardio stamina slow-twitch muscle thing. Football is fast-twitch intense all out sport with rest breaks in between.
I think you guys deserved to win =P We had a lucky goal at the end, plus americans don't even care about soccer. Noone watches soccer here. Our favourite sports
Football >> Basketball >> Baseball >> hockey >> Mixed Martial Arts (srs lol)
soccer doesn't break the top 5 here =/
