I dont understand something.

You are basing that the NFL is not exciting because you score 7 points instead of 1 at a time. Does it really matter how much a score is worth? What if soccer/football were worth 4 instead of 1? Would that make it any less exciting for you? Even though the only thing that is different is what something is worth.

If you want to say that soccer is more exciting than football because you believe so that is fine but you used things that are untrue when trying to back up why your "opinion" is correct.

Again you are comparing apples and oranges when trying to compare basketball and American football with soccer/football because the scoring is so different.

you would have been better comparing hockey with soccer but then you would defeat the purpose because at the end of the game with a team down by two things get very exciting..

Learn your sports before making comparsions it makes thing easier on everyone.

I would say that the NFL team scores between 18-25 points per game. The better offenses score upwards of around 25-32 per game but it does not happen every game.
