Maybe, but soccer doesn't have very many situations where there are ~14 players standing in spitting distance of each other and a 6 inch shift in the position of the ball or a single player has huge implications for the outcome of the game.
Aren't free kicks an example of this? There must be a few in every soccer game, no?
But I don't know how many times the 14 player scenario happens per game in American Football, is it a lot more?
