France, England, Germany, Spain and Italy aren't third world countries.....

I didn't say they were, but there are far more people in the third world.  And they like soccer.  Hence it is the most popular sport on the planet.

Also "soccer" is the fastest growing sport in America. David Beckham must have had a great influence, either that or more Mexians are coming into the US. lol

Of course it is.  When no one likes a sport, any growth in it could be considered "fastest."  If one person likes it, and suddenly 5 more do, that's a 500% growth, whereas if 70 million people like it, and suddenly 5 more do, that growth is insignificant.
