There are many sports in the world and that had been played for hundreds of years . There are many different kind of sports that you can play it individually or whereas like football , basketball , swimming , golf and many other sports . Now . I am going to write about the similarities and differences of two sports, football and basketball .
There are some important similarities . Firstly , they are both team sport which a basketball team consists of five players, while a football team is made up of 11 players . Second similarity both of these sports, players can be replaced by substitutes . Another similarity between them is that they both use a ball, although they are not the same . Last similarity is that the football ball is light round and hard, and made of either leather or synthetic material, in contrast a basketball is generally not as light as a football and it is made of hard rubber .
Although there are similarities, there are also important differences . First difference between them is the places that these sports are played, football is generally played outdoors on grass pitches, whereas, basketball is usually played indoors on a wooden surface . Another difference, In football they use their feet to dribble, kick and trap the ball on the other hand basketball players can only use their hands to control the ball, which they dribble pass and shoot .
In conclusion, most sports especially team sports like basketball and football give players a chance to develop themselves . They can also learn self-discipline and teamwork at the same team , this is probably the reason why basketball are so popular around the world .
