The difference is that in a football game you don't have time to talk to each other during the game. In a software team you do have plenty of time and opportunities to talk as soon as a blocker or issue appears, and everyone can see who is assigned to what tasks, who submitted what changes and read updates about blockers in the project management tooling the instant those events happens.

In other words, if you have plenty to talk about in your stand-ups then you are doing something wrong. Which is the point of Scrum, this fixes communication issues, but your team really shouldn't need this.
