Soccer and Baseball

Soccer is the most popular sport around the world while in the USA one of the most popular sports is baseball. If you want to choose the best and start to practice you have to know the differences between both. In baseball, there are nine players at each team. The players of one team are around the field. And they don’t move too much. In soccer, there are eleven players in each team. Both teams are on the field, and they are moving constantly. We can see differences in uniforms and equipment too. The baseball uniform is made from stretchy material, with pants and socks. While the soccer players use loose clothes like short and t- shirt and need special shoes. There is a lot more equipment for baseball than for soccer. In baseball they use a ball, bat, hat and gloves while in soccer they just need the ball. A baseball game can be longer or shorter, but it is has to complete nine innings with six outs each. Soccer is different. There are only two halves that last forty-five minutes each. Sometimes it is just extend a few more minutes for the time out. The final goal for both sports is to make more points that the rival team. In baseball you want to make runs whereas for soccer you need to make a goal. Fans are different too. There more passion in soccer fans. They always think know rules better that referee instead baseball fans are calmer. To play a sport is good for your health, but it is important to enjoy it too. Choose the best one for you and your body will thank you.
