Baseball is better then soccer.

Instead of expanding on your original points, in round two you have delivered an entire new argument. One of which (like round one) has been copied from an article. Nevertheless, I will continue with rebuttals. (1.) "MLB umpires are better than FIFA refs". MLB umpires have been known for their bias. There are cases of racial discrimination and other discrepancies in decision making. Anyone who watches sports will safely conclude that umpire referees are no more superior than any other sport referee. In addition, it's worth noting that FIFA referees aren't the only in the soccer business. The world of soccer is full of professional referees, playing in different competitions and in different leagues. This again is indication of just how expansive soccer is. (2.) "MLB coaches have more stones than FIFA coaches". This one in particular is inaccurate. Soccer coaches have been (very often) known to ensure that their opinion is heard on and off the pitch and regularly express their dismay at matches for unfavourable decisions made against the team, or individual players. All across Europe and the world; this is not a rare occurrence. Most managers are not afraid to stand up for the team/players when they feel necessary. (3.) "Baseball is an equal opportunity game". This could easily be interpreted as being in the "politically-correct sense", and the authors added reasoning is again incorrect; thus displaying their lack of knowledge on the game of soccer. Soccer is an equal opportunity game in every sense. When two teams arrive to play, both teams have a fairly decent chance of winning depending on how the play and how much effort they put in. The change or alteration of one players positioning is also not enough to make that team lose, such a thing in soccer has rarely happened. In fact, one of the foremost parts of soccer is that it requires a team effort to win. All players have an equal chance to shine and make a difference in the positions that the play. It's these different roles (left-back, right-back, forward, etc.) that make the game of soccer and add to its diversity. (4.) "It's not over till it's over". Again, this isn't a valid enough reason to establish that baseball is a superior game to soccer. Generally most football matches determine a winner, and if they don't both teams get one point. In competition finals there is always extra time, providing both teams with the chance to win. (5.) "The other team doesn't score for you". As stated, mistakes happen in every game; including baseball itself. The opposition scoring in soccer is also very rare. In soccer you have to do a tremendous amount of physical work, and no player willingly sits idly by while mistakes happen. On the pitch the game has a much more variable and quicker pace to baseball; which makes soccer more unpredictable, and arguably more exciting. (6.) "MLB players are professional athletes, FIFA players are amateur athletes". On the contrary, FIFA players are in fact professional athletes. This one goes on to contradict the previous statement, in which the author implied that in soccer physical work is limited. Going back to the physical demands of soccer, in the game injuries can be easy to sustain and can last a number of weeks, so when a player does fall down it may genuinely be attributed physical pain. However, usually the player will get up and proceed with play. Baseball requires less movement, and is not as fast; which means less injury. Soccer is a game that has very different physical structure and demands different physical requirements. Once again, I will highlight that FIFA athletes are not the only ones in existence. Soccer is a worldwide sport played in numerous international competitions and leagues, there are more aspects of soccer to cover than FIFA. (7.) "Sportsmanship is s hallowed thing on the field for MLB". The author fails to expound further on this one. As I've already outlined, soccer is a (very) physical game and to a certain degree physical contact is inevitable. Players will have to touch each other to get the ball, this is just a basic requirement of tackling. Any player that violates the rules of soccer is usually identified with by the referee and then if necessary, gets the appropriate punishment.
