Why Soccer is the most Popular Sport in the World?
Except the USA and a few other countries, Soccer is the most popular sport in the world.
How and why is this ball game have become so popular?
The first reason is tradition – in many countries over the years, many rivalry, traditions and community relevance were raised. A lot of soccer clubs has fans with the same religion, political opinions or history. This is why for those people it is much more than a game – it is about tradition, dignity, pride, joy and glory. Those fans share happiness, disappointments, wins, loses, joy and tears, Bad times on one hand and great times from the other.
Not like other ball games as basketball, Baseball, Handball etc.. Soccer has a very few highlights peak during the game. Most of the matches has between 2-3 goals, and The game could turn around sometimes in 5 minutes. That’s why Soccer seems to be more romantic than other sports.
In the Major countries, especially the less developed, you can see kids from very young age play with the ball trying to score goals. You can see the passion on their eyes, and the longing to the ball. You will not see them on the street playing volleyball or Tennis.
Then they grow up and share the passion with their families and children.
In my onion, there is no beautiful sight in the sports world ,like a joyful crowd after a goal in a crowded big stadium. Some researches even say, the filling of a fan after his team scored a goal, is equal to an orgasm during sex.
Because of the mentioned reasons and many more, Soccer is the most popular, exciting and fascinating Sport in The world.

Why is soccer the most popular sport in the world?
Not to offend any soccer fans, but I’ve played a fair bit of soccer and watched soccer games on TV, and I find both extremely boring. How did soccer become the world’s most popular sport?

As another person said all it takes is a ball. It also has a lot of history in many countries because of the easy access to a ball shaped object and a couple wooden post, Unlike many other sports that have been around for a much shorter period of time do to more requirements. So due to this sport being around for so long in so many countries and it being so easy to play and gather the necessary items to play; it has become the most popular sport in the world.

To become a world class footballer (to give the sport its correct name), you need skill, balance, stamina, strength, and timing, all in spades. Some players add speed, aggression, and a cool head to that list.
Now, how many top class basketball/baseball/NFL players can say they have even a few of those attributes?
I wish the USA would stay out of football. That way they won’t try to introduce stupid shite like time outs and tv commercials every time the ball goes out of play.

because it is the easiest sport to play. I mean all you really need is a ball and you can use anything for goals…also it has a simple object to get the ball in the opposing teams net. you don’t need to get all fancy to be a pro player just need to be skilled with the basics.
