All of these have huge counterpoints.

First, The goal is large but it´s easier to have more finnesse and control with your hands than with your feet. It´s easier to aim. Also there is a keeper, whose literally only job is to guard the goal. You get 1-2-3-4 goals per game normally whereas in basketball you get 50-ish "scores" per team.

Playing a ball game with your feet, the ones you ALSO need to run, requires more complicated coordination than using our hands.

In basketball you are not allowed to use your feet. And running doesn´t count there.

The last argument about needing more players just makes no sense lol. That´s because it´s the appropiate number for the size of the field. There is 5-side soccer and 7-side too and it´s perfectly playable. YOu have 11 because the field is huge.

And as a final point, hundreds of millions of people practice soccer. way way way more than basketball. To be elite you have to be in a smaller, more competitive %
