Football is known all over the world but unfortunately it is not practiced. Football is an American sport that, ironically, is only played in the United States, while soccer is played all over the world. Another difference is the protective kit/gear used during the game. In football, a helmet, shoulder/chest pad/protector, upper leg pad and mouth guard are rightly required, whereas in football, shin guards and boots are all that are needed. This is why football is considered a gentleman's sport played by beasts and football is a beastly game played by beasts
