at least some good points for soccer and bad points for basketball. you see...there is a group of people at my school who hate soccer and think basketball is better, however, there is a group of us devoted soccer fans who think it's better. so i need something that can silence the basketball duds's wagging tongues.

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. There is more drama in it- to me basketball is a group that run up one end put it in the basket- give to the other team- other team does the same thing, till the final whistle. Also any able bodied person can play to a certain standard- basketball favours tall people.
I think in the US soccer is seen as wussy, but you should see the tackles and mass brawls in a lot of games- basketball is seen as wussy in UK, no contact, just a version of netball.

The biggest argument in your favor is that Soccer is the most popular game in the world!
When the soccer world cup is around the corner, people forget all other sports and are tuned to watch it where-ever they are.
Plus, soccer requires you to play outdoors, which is more fun, especially in the rains!
Soccer doesnt require tall players! even a midget can be a star in soccer.
You don't need a hoop! and you can play soccer whenever you want, wherever you want!

Shall I begin my dear? soccer is the only sport that has over Over 200 federations across the globe. It is the sport played in more countries and with more leagues and the only sport that has world cup final with 4 billlion spectators in the final. A war b/n two countries, namely el salvador and honduras, was fought ( reffered as football war) in 1964 as a result of soccer. Many Brazilian commit sucide in 1982 and 1986 world cup finals. Carlos Escobar was gundown in his country, colombia, after he return back from 1994 world cup tournament allegedly scoring in his goal. Why is it? coz it is the passion that it creats. well you plenty to say about it.
and do you mind if you give me 10 points?

In soccer you can touch the ball with your hands and feet( if your the goaly) but in basketball you can only use your hands. and soccer is harder to play, you have to run for longer periods of time.
