is this sentence correct? "It’s very different to play a soccer match than watching it on TV"?
I'm writing this paper, and that sentence sounds weird, I think it's the verbs. Could you help me?
This is the complete paragraph:
It’s very different to play a soccer match than watching it on TV. The player finds himself in constant action, whereas the viewer has the posibility to analize the game. Powerful tools like the instant replay or different camera angles permit the spectator to think and question specific actions.

It would sound better to say "It is very different to play a soccer match than to watch one on TV" or "It is very different playing a soccer match than watching one on TV." Try to match your two verbs so they have similar endings.
I agree with lee. If you're going to compare two things using "different than" they need to have parallel verb forms. You could use "to play" and "to watch" or "playing" and "watching," but not one of each.
"posibility" is spelled wrong and so is "analize"
