Well i have played Football all my life and i have played baseball as well and imo Football requires more skill,brains fitness etc than baseball. I have been seriously injured playing football and have played in top level games for my age and in my experiences of both games Football is by far the hardest requires a lot more to play than Baseball

Basball, yes you have to have skill Im not going to say you dont have to beacuse you have to have skill in every sport you play. Soccer however you have to be in shape, You have to think on every play you do, You have to have stamina. basball you hit it, Run to first base, stop for about a minute, then run to home plate if the next batter gets a good hit, then you sit in the dugout for the rest of the inning. In soccer your running almost 90 minutes some times more some times less, it depends if you get takes off, but in generall you will at least be playing for 30 minutes, you cant stand around in that 30 minutes at all or else you will get beat and you will not keep up with the pase of the game. So you have to be constently moving all the time in soccer. IMO.

Suffy

personally i find hitting a ball that curves in any sort of direction and thats going 90 miles per hour and you have to hit with not the biggest of objects is pretty hard, like Tim Wakefield his knuckle ball when you have a tiny wind and a knuckle ball pitchre that ball will move uncontrallably, baseball invovles way more skill soccer you kick the ball you stand around for a bit the ball comes back to you and you kick it again

Baseball probably required more specialized individual skill but only in specific scenarios. (ie. batting and pitching)

Soccer required you to be an all around athlete: fast strong smart. It also requires lots of individual skill (goal keepers, corner kicks, free kicks on goal)

Overall I'd say better all around athletes play soccer.

Football, easily. Mastering things from simple passing to controling the ball on the run, to corner kicks and headers. But I play indoor football so it's easier lol, but football in general is much harder to play. But then again I know fuck all about baseball.

I'm not really a fan of either for the most part, but I believe that soccer would take more skill to play and in general better overall athletes.
