Soccer players use their hands and football players use their feet Mossman Send a noteboard - 03/07/2010 12:57:18 AM
Soccer: goalkeepers, throw-ins, grabbing each other's shorts, shirts, and body parts on corner kicks...

Football: Placekicking, punting, kickoffs, and I'm pretty sure one needs his feet in order to run, set up to block, or drive through a tackle.
