Even if you keep third world countries out Soccer is far more popular among advanced countries than Football which is a US only sport... Main reason soccer isn't more popular in the US is that it doesn't have breaks every 2 minutes for commercials...(Thank god!). Heck the number of people watching the superbowl every year is very small compared to the number of people watching the world soccer cup every 4 years... For all that football is popular in the US by the way, how many people actually play it ? very very few.... There's over 250k french that play soccer in clubs during any given year... |
Pfft. As usual the French lose. As of 2002, Soccer was played by more than 15 million kids in the US. That's almost 25% of the French total population.
Ah, soccer, so simple and boring, even your 5 year olds can play!
