You gotta admit kicking a ball is harder than throwing, catching and running with a ball.

I think in general that throwing a ball to a reciever through two defenders 20 yards away (who is either going to turn around and take the catch, or keep running onto the catch, and you have to trust him to be where you throw it) where if you miss by 2 feet, you've cost your team a huge swing is much harder than swerving a freekick into the top corner of the net.

Neither is easy, but the team skill required to set up even the simplest of decent plays in the NFL is much much higher than anything you see in soccer.
