Answer 2

In soccer players are not allowed to touch the ball with their hands except for the goal keeper.
In soccer the goal keeper can touch the ball with his hand only within the 18 yards defined for him, and touching the ball outside that area is considered a foul.
In soccer players are not allowed to push each other, any such kind of pushing is considered a foul.
In soccer the original time of the game is 90 minuets, could be extended another 15 minuets in certain cases, or till one of the teams scores the golden goal.
IN soccer, the ball is complete round ball of certain size and weight
Soccer should be gentlemen game, but it is turning into more commercial...hope it stay as it was.

Answer 3

What Americans call soccer is called football everywhere else in the world (football in British English and French, futbol in Spanish, fussball in German, etc.). There is in an international body governing this sport, so it's safe to say that American soccer and British football are exactly the same sport, even if attracts far more fans in Britain. :)

The official name of the sport is associative football. The international governing body that I mentioned above is referred to as FIFA, from the French "Federation Internationale de Football Associatif" (International Federation of Associative Football). It seems that at some point, "associative football" was abbreviated as "assoc," from which we somehow got the American version "soccer."

All this is complicated by the fact that America has its own game called "football," with helmets and touchdowns and such. This game is completely American, although the rest of the world is beginning to learn about it. To distinguish it from soccer, other countries refer to it specifically as "American football".

The difference between foot ball and soccer is that in soccer you need to kick the ball into the goal [but the ball stays on the ground]. But in football, you carry the ball and run until you reach yur teams touch down and try not to get tackleddown from opposing team.

Answer 5

European football is American soccer. That's with the thin athletic guys running around the field like crazy kicking the black and white ball into a net.

American football is with a bunch of big huge guys trying to throw/kick an oblong brown ball into the ends of the field and tackling each other to the ground.

Answer 6

In US, Football is the game you actually play with players running around carrying the ball with hands. It's played with 'Down' and moe like rugby.

Soccer is the game with only goalkeepers are allowed to touch the ball with hands when they are in their own penalty area. Other players cannot do so in open play.

Answer 7

One involves an army of men running around with a ball in their hands, wearing tights and trying to kill each other over 5yards of land(?) over and over again, while the other is about men mainly kicking about a ball with their feet and trying to get the ball into their opponents net.
