You're an idiot. They're two completely different sports. Unless you're talking about the acting jobs they do when they're "hurt".

You're comparing "apples & oranges."
Over-all, yes "soccer" players probably have more stamina, I'll give you that.But more skilled? They (as a group) seem to all have the "same" skills. "Football" players skills are varied, & somewhat specialized to the "players" body-type, & "position" responsibility. Football players come in "all shapes & sizes". Soccer players are usually small, but agile people. Soccer players would'nt stand a chance blocking ANY of the "front seven" on defense of a football team.
The ONLY thing a soccer player would "excell at" on a football team would be "kicker".

Nice... trolling are we? Go back under your bridge.
Not all soccer players are coordinated/ skilled. Look at the Men's US Soccer teams. Horrible compared to the rest of the world.
It's a different game and different skills. How closed minded can you get? More cardio needed in Futbol. More anaerobic fitness in Football.
To say that soccer players are in better shape is stupid and ignorant. Just because a player looks fat doesn't mean he's out of shape. Any D-line man like Dwight Freeney or Jamal Lewis constantly have to push, spin, and rip through a much bigger O-Lineman.
Looks aren't everything.
More skill with feet in Futbol. Ronaldinho's fakes are like LT's jukes, but with more skill as there's a ball at his feet.
More hand skill in Football. Only persons using their hands beyond throw-ins are the goalies and the refs and their yellow-cards.
Sounds like you just don't like Football. I could easily say that Futbol players are the biggest drama queens when they're not even touched or hurt, but I don't wanna go there as I love Futbol too.
Grow up.

Totally different sports. Yes soccer players are coordinated and are in constant motion, but in football there is a lot more contact. Both sports require skills that the other does not and both players are good athletes in their own right. In my opinion, one is not better than the other.

spoken like someone who sucked at football...look, i respect soccer for what it is but if you want to get into who the better athletes are, the only thing a soccer player might have on a football player is stamina. and in actuality, to say that soccer players are always going is ludacrous. soccer players stay on the defensive or offensive side and don't run for the entire 90 minutes. they walk around as much as football stops and starts. while you can say the same about football, the collision sport that football is causes more punishment to the body than any collision in soccer ever does. a football player puts his body through more punishment than any soccer player ever does....
fyi, speed and strength are skills...the skills a soccer player has is stamina, body control, and foot ceye cordination. football players have strength, speed, stamina, hand eye cordination, and the ability to understand that most people like yourself never understand that the sport is more cerebral and more physical than the majority of other sports.
there's a reason soccer players only play kicker in football...the majority can't do what we do...

What about pulling 9g's, or climbing so high you can barely breath? Come on, we are all better at certian things. Soccer players can do things that many football players can't and vis-versa.

Whats your point? It takes even more coordination and skill to balance plates on a straw on your head. Whats the point though? Soccer is just as useless.

Ha ha ah ha!
Funny joke man.
Soccer sucks, dude.
You don't know the training that real football players go through. You don't need upper body strength in Soccer. But in Football, you need that, speed, and agillity.
Soccer's BORING.
Back and forth, back and forth. 30 minutes later GOAL!!!
Pitiful.
You criticise one of my favorite sports, and I criticise yours.
