Facts hurt. But you are going to have to get used to it.

" Whose playing field is larger? "

The size of the playing field determines strength, fitness, sheer power, and athleticism , speed, skill and talent of the players?
Get back to me when you get back from Pluto will ya?

"Who plays longer matches? "

Depends on what you are doing during those "longer matches.
I have watched matches were players are out of serious action for long periods of time, even in this recent world cup.

Who runs more during the game? "

Not your soccer pansies

"Who periodically sits down for a rest and a refreshment in the middle of the game? "

Since the NBA matches are faster, high energy and more physically intensive, its fine for them to take time outs.

"Who plays outdoors under heat or rain, and who plays under A/C? ""

Poor you.
Playing under rain or the sun does not a superb athlete make.
It simply means soccer players get to head-butt someone when they get sun stroke
When did that become a sign of great athleticism?

"I could go on,"

Please do.
I am only just warming up.

" but by now your brain must be a-hurtin'.
Call your nurse."

This is on account of the clobbering you are about to start getting on here. :)
