  The value of a single goal in football is immense. You just need to recalibrate and appreciate the skill and teamwork. Each goal is the cumulative result of an intense battle involving skill, teamwork, and athleticism. Conversely, some of the most boring football games are when the teams aren’t evenly matched and one team dominates, scoring several goals.

    I agree. Also pitting pros from one sport against pros of another sport is gonna result in the fish out of water scoring 0. Rugby and American football might be the closest in overlapping skills, but the pros are pros because they’re pros. You don’t novice your way into success just by being fit.
