Soccer (football) vs. American football?

My logic is to never criticize a sport, I respect all athletes and the fact that they made it to the big time. I must agree though, that I find soccer much more intense and exciting. Being a rugby player, Ive really grown not to care much for american football. I don't see the point of it. I think it takes more skill mentally to make the right decisions without having time to think about it, than it does to know your entire play before you start moving. That's just me though. Cheers.
