Of course basketball. Basketball players are more individual and accomplish many things. Soccer is so boring. They hardly score and they just keep taking the ball from one side to another accomplishing nothing. That's why soccer players are so happy when they score a goal because it's not something that happens often. In basketball you can have minutes of highlight film but in soccer you get one or two highlights because they only score a couple of times. In how many sports can a team fiercely battle to a 0-0 tie

It all depends on what you like and you good your body parts can work wtih each other. Soccer will make you see things in a new light and have fun while not using your hands. It's one of the best team sports and it is known around the world. A person can go to Lagos, Jakarta, Canton (China, not Ohio) and show them a soccer ball and they'll know what to do. Also don't kick everyone in the shins, that gets boring after a while.
Basketball has more of an individual focus and it is the only sport that one player can carry an entire team. If you happen to be a passer it will make you catch things on the fly so you can pass the ball out to the person at the right time. Basketball takes alot of hand to eye coordination and can actually develop that playing.

Try them both. If the seasons are going on at the same time, I'd say go with the game you feel more comfortable playing. Remember if your not that great at eye/hand coordination, you'll probably be sitting on the bench of the basketball team (unless your a fiesty and quick person, then you'll go in for defensive purposes only, which is ok) as only five players can be on the court at a time. Now if your in great shape, enjoy a team sport (now days basketball seems to revolve around one or two players instead of the whole team) and want to play, soccer allows 11 players on the pitch at a time, then I'd go with soccer.
But if the seasons aren't going on at the same time, go out for both teams. Remember, in basketball you are allowed a certain number of timeouts. When someone is injured, the clock stops allowing you to get rest. In soccer, the clock runs all the time. There are no timeouts and you play two 45 minute halfs, with stoppage time added when a player does get injured the ref adds that time on to the 45 minutes. In basketball, you are allowed to subsitute players more then once, allowing them to get rested. In soccer you are only allowed to send in three subs for the entire game and overtime play. In basketball, a player is allowed five (six in the NBA) fouls per game, in soccer if you get two yellow cards, you have to come out of the game and your team plays with less players. So, people who don't understand soccer will call it a wuss sport, but in actuallity, it's a tough sport.
Hope this helps. Have fun no matter what you chose!! I've rambled enough!

soccer is better because there is more running involve so you excercise more and its fun because you meet more people because a team has 11 players and in basketball theres only 5 not counting subs.

You shouldn't be worried about what is or isn't cool. You should pick a sport that you excel at or whichever one you think would be the most fun.
