Well folks, I've been digging deep to understand why soccer fans are not exactly head over heels for football. Turns out, they find it a tad too stop-and-go for their liking, preferring soccer's non-stop action. Additionally, the heavy protective gear in football feels too much 'knight-in-shining-armor' to soccer purists who love the minimal gear, maximum skills approach. And, of course, fans say that nothing can beat the thrill of witnessing a well-executed goal in soccer versus a touchdown. So, in a nutshell, it's like asking a coffee lover to switch to tea - they just don't get the same kick!

In soccer, goal differential is a critical term that's calculated simply by subtracting the total number of goals a team has conceded from the total number they've scored. It serves as a key tiebreaker in league standings, giving us a clear picture of a team's defensive and offensive capabilities. If a team's goal differential is positive, it means they've scored more than they've conceded, which is always a good sign. On the other hand, a negative differential suggests the opposite. It's a simple yet effective way to measure a team's performance over a season.
