Yeah, no worries. One of the beauties of soccer is that playing it is not hard, but playing it competently is, and playing it at a high level is insanely difficult.
Don’t get me wrong though, in spite of the perfectly good reasons not to be, I still love American football, and you’re right that the other way around would be a literal bloodbath.

I was one of the football players who would’ve been hating life, if not outright died. That being said, I did enjoy going out and playing a bit of soccer just for the cardio. Reminds me of a line I heard long ago… “Play away…just remember, even boys can play.”
But I’m kind of enamored by this thought experiement… what if we took both teams and put them in a third arena… say track and field or something? Should be a fair way to accurately test athleticism without favoring either side in overall scoring. Sure, certain events would favor certain builds better…but overall I think it could balance fairly well.
