In basketball, a full 40 minutes of game is played and play doesn't stop until a foul is committed or a timeout is called. There could be a 10-minute frenzy in basketball of running and scoring and clock won't stop until play is dead.
I wish it was the same in American football.
Unless you're full court pressing all game, Basketball isnt all that fast paced.
Football is perfect the way it is. I am not talking about pace, I am talking about play time. No matter what the approach a coach takes in basketball, time will run until a foul or a timeout is called.
I absolutely hate how 3:00 can be left in the fourth quarter of a football game with a score of say 23-20 and the leading team can run those 3:00 minutes out with near full security of the ball.
Well then the opposing coach wasted his timeouts and deserves to lose. Even then the D can still force a turnover.
Soccer matches do this all time time. If its 2-1 with 88 min left, the winning team will kill clock. Absolutely, but they don't have the sad benefit that American football players do, which is after a play is dead the clock keeps running.
In soccer, as you mentioned, I hope you remember that play is still live. Opposing players can attack for possession. No matter how much time is left. In football, this cannot be done.
I simply don't like all the wasted play time there is in American football, not to mention with all of the security during possession.
