I said tennis, because soccer/football really angers me; you'll run for the ball a guy boots the ball to the other side of the field and than you run back there then some guy boots the ball to the other side of the field...

This is certainly an odd comparison... may I ask what motivates you to compare these two sports?

I think soccer is a lot of fun to play with friends because it's more team-oriented and more people can be involved. It's also exhausting, doing all that running. I think tennis is probably more fun to watch, most of the time.

I play tennis a lot.
So this is an easy choice for me.
I never really cared for soccer.

Soccer is awesome sillies . Tennis is pretty good, but it has a harder learning curve and its no fun is you and your opponent arn't fairly good, and fairly evenly skilled. In soccer better players can make up for the no-namer or 2 on their teams.

I find myself playing tennis far more than soccer these days, but those are two hard sports to compare to each other because they differ in many ways. I enjoy soccer because it's very fast paced and you're always on the move. I also enjoy the physical aspects of the game, it can get intense. On the other hand, I really enjoy tennis because it's all about how you hit the ball and manuever your racket. If you're a good server it can make the game a ton of fun. I'd say i'm 50/50 on this topic. I'd also say both sports are equally as fun to watch.

Kind of a strange comparison. I chose tennis though just because I like the swoosh of the racket.

Lol I think these games are pretty much equal
Because both of these games are lesser popular and not as loved as Football and Basketball.
Oh and plus I think that Tennis is amazing because its easier and not as exhausting and its amazing

I voted Tennis because I love both Squash and Table Tennis, and normal Tennis socially
To be honest, I never really enjoyed soccer...

Were you trying to offend me because I don't even like sports I just thought this would be a fun discussion? Oh and not to mention, I added Football as a joke its not really apart of the discussion since its not in the title

This is where name confusion comes in... so let me outline the differences...

Soccer = Football (spherical ball)

Football (elliptical ball) = Rugby League

Reading all these posts gives me a headache; I don't know which sports you're talking about!

Iggy, I'm talking about the football you play with your feet, known as soccer in the US. That IS the most popular sport in the world.

I voted Football. Heh heh.

But choosing purely between tennis and soccer, I'll definitely choose Tennis. I love all recket sports, and despise soccer. Easy choice for me.

Don't even get me started on pickle ball. My friends and I mixed pickle ball and dodge ball and came up with one helluva intense sport called Death Paddles (Probably the best sport ever created).

Sounds cool I want to hear about it too. Dodgeball is amazing, too bad my racketsports teacher doesn't let us play it in class.

Tennis hands down!

I love tennis! It is my favorite sport to watch and play! I have a excellent serve in tennis, and i'm on my school's tennis team. Anyways I love all racket sports and i'm trying to get into Badminton, but ironically I can't serve at all in it!

For being a dutchman and fan of PSV Eindhoven I have to say soccer but that isn't the reason. Soccer is and will always be a magical game .

PS. For the people in America who think soccer is a womans game, just watch the movie GOAL The impossible dream ! Players get drilled here in Europe to be the best.
The beauty of soccer is, that you can' t make too much fouls and must win it by great technique and teamspirit.

I love soccer! I play about 2 times a week in the winter and around 3 times a week in the summer. I enjoy it because it takes athletic skill mixed with creativity to be good.

I used to play winter soccer every year, but for the past few years there isn't enough interest in my age group to have it, I haven't had an opportunity to play on a rep team either, once again due to lack of interest

Would you be in an under 17 league? If so, I can't imagine there not being enough interest. That sucks though. Right now I'm driving 35 minutes one way to play soccer because our local indoor soccer company is in a huge Real Estate mess. It's getting old driving but it's worth it.

I don't watch either sport all that often, but I suppose I like soccer a bit more. I played the game for a few years as a kid (got pretty good at it too) and I absolutely eat up the World Cup, but I can enjoy and appreciate a great tennis match too.
