American handegg is very complex. They're not just running around randomly like soccer looks like to us (even though soccer's complex), the quarterback might yell out nonsense like Blue 32! Green 8! Red 9! which is code for one of a large number of plans with red herrings and obfuscations. Maybe the random number for this play is 2 so the middle's the real one so they'd use the plan Green 8 which is the left receiver stands there, runs diagonally left for 5 yards then forwards 5 yards and turns around and pretends to look for the ball like he's going to catch it, the right receiver has another route, the left tight end another, the line of fatties try to enlarge the right gap of the other line of fatties for the halfback to get through and everyone has a job in Green 8. Green 7 is a completely different plan, Blue 19 another and so on. Red 5 might be one of the plans good for 3rd and 10, Red 6 might be good for 3rd and inches. Red 5 might be good for 4th and long (say 20) punting and field goals are useless et cetera.
Is it normal that I'm obsessed with English football

Soccer is the most complex team game tactically which is why no Americans want to spend the time to learn how to be good at it
