Compare and contrast two sports.

Basketball and Soccer

Although basketball and soccer are using the net, but there are quite a few differences. One difference is body part. When people play basketball, they use both hands because it is rule in basketball, and they never use the foot in the game. If someone use the foot in a basketball game, it would be foul. On the other hand, when people play soccer, they use both feet, but sometimes they use both hands as someone got throwing chance. A second of difference is height. In basketball game, height is important to player because it is advantageous. A player who is position in center height is 200cm, but other player who is position in point guard height is 185cm. In this case, if point guard has a ball, it would be easy stealing for center, so height is important for basketball player. However, it doesn't matter for soccer player because they are not usually bound a ball in the sky, so they need quickness in the game. A third of difference is game time. In basketball game, there are four part of time those twelve minutes in a quarter. On the other hand, there are two part of time those forty five minutes in a half in soccer game. All in all, though there are differences between basketball and soccer, both games could make a good relationship and party in the world.
