Default Soccer is not a top 5 sport

who gives a f\*\*k what is popular in other countries, they play soccer because they suck at the other sports pretty much and weak brained people.

If its not a top 5 sport in usa, canada, japan, china, korea, russia, then this is to you foreign dudes on here. IT is not a top sport

What do you mean by top 5 sport, exactly?

And why does the opinion of a 320 million pop. country outweigh the other 6+ billion people on earth?

Because of the continuous play, there's not opportunity for TV commercials. Without a tremendoun TV marketing opportunity, it's hard to sell the sport to average casual viewer and potential fan..

Football (American soccer)



With over 3.5 billion fans worldwide, football ("soccer") is the most popular sport on the planet. It always ranks at the top of the majority of the credible lists published.

Usually, popularity is measured based on the "number of viewers/fans". According to a website called mostpopularsports.net, here are the top 3:
  • Football (which is equivalent to American soccer) is the most popular overall
  • Tennis is the most popular "individual" sport (no team required)
  • Golf is the most popular "solo" sport (can be played alone).
IS THAT ENOUGH SAID OR DO YOU NEED MORE EVIDENCE? PEOPLE IN THE WORLD DONT GIVE A SH!T ABOUT BASEBALL AND AMERICAN FOOTBALL........OPEN YOUR EYES

Jesus Christ, America looks stupid enough already without your continued nonsense. Soccer is easily the most popular sport as far as youth involvement goes.

For some reason, every 4 years I decide to watch soccer. At least it's something to watch at 9am. So far I have enjoyed watching the World Cup and once it's over, I don't have to follow again until 2014.

Even worse, so a football player can tackle a soccer player..ok.

But a soccer player can do something with a football, a football player can only dream of..additionally he can outrun him 24/7.

But as I say, comparing this shit is insane.

Every player, every athlete has his/her skills and should be respected for that.

Naz the was in reference to a soccer discussion suddenly being turned into a intelligence one or one of ignorance. Hey, I love soccer and football, does that mean I am a superior human being? Don't answer.

Americans and Europeans alike that talk shit about the sports of another country are the lowest common denominator from said countries.

Amercians that don't have a broader view of the world are just plain stupid and naive.

Europeans that take the bait when idiots like this throw out a retard comment and retort back with a similar close mineded comment just show that you are the equivalent of a red neck in your own country. Do the words knacker, tinker, hooligans, etc. Any of these ringing true?

Individuals who excel at any given sport are great at what they do and deserve a certain amount of accolades and respect. Doesn't mean you have to like it but to sit there and make stupid comments, makes you look, well, stupid!!!!!

Enough said.
