Look, I'm not trying to start a flame war or anything, I'm just offering my opinions of why I think soccer is more exciting.

I was using "two baskets" as a one-for-one comparison, not a more accurate one (which may have been something like 10 baskets to one goal). As for American Football, I don't watch it enough to know exactly how difficult it is to get touchdowns, but scores are normally (with 7pt/a touchdown if I remember correctly) upwards of 30, which would imply about 4 or 5 touchdowns. Still higher scoring than your average football game.

Either way, I can understand that people find American football exciting, but I was chipping in my thoughts on football.
