Compare And Contrast Soccer And Basketball

There are many notable differences between the sports soccer and basketball. First, soccer and basketball each have different numbers of players and playing field size. Soccer has 11 players on the field and basketball only has 5 players at a time on the court. The reason why soccer uses more players is because the field is 100 yards long., about 3 to 4 more times bigger than the court. In addition, each game uses different parts of the body. Soccer players can only use their feet, legs, head, and the body. Basketball players can only use their hands, if it by any chance touches any other part it could be considered as a foul. the last obvious difference between the sports is the global professional game. Both are official Olympic games that
are seen by millions of people. A great example would be the world cup which takes place every 4 years in a different country. It is considered one of the biggest events in the sport soccer. On the other hand basketball doesn't have any global professional game except the Olympics when all the U.S. players compete against other nations to win either the silver, bronze, or gold medal. These are all examples of the differences between each sport.
