I pretty much agree:
I think if you use the terms tactics & strategy & techniques, there almost has to be more tactics and strategy in football.
The techniques involved in baseball might be a little harder / require to learn, so I do agree.. mostly...but blocking and tackling require learning proper technique also.
Strategy-wise (big picture game planning) I think it could be close also....run game / solid defense/ ball control being an example of a strategy a team might employ in football..........'small ball' being thre eqivolent maybe in base ball...bunting, stealing, 1 run....and good pitching/D.
There are probably more types of strategies in football, so yah....football wins by a little there too.
Tactics it isnt even close.......football BLOWS away baseball...and most other sports by having an almost infinite number of offensive and defensive tactics. chess, bridge & go all have this, but are not sports.......
do a google on 'chess tactics quotes' and you will see that the vast majority of chess masters agree that tactics is the number one element of chess...the heart, soul....
it is the same with football IMO

In general I consider that in chess everything rests on tactics. If one thinks of strategy as a block of marble, then tactics are the chisel with which a master operates, in creating works of chess art.-------- Grandmaster Petrosian
