High popularity doesnt always equal quality, but it sometimes does, there are plenty of examples in music and the movies..... even gaming. In this case it def has some merit... one or two countries that embraced American Football versus the rest of the globe. Not an overnight decision but a trend formed over the last 100 or so years.

Clearly it has nothing to do with the assosiation game being around... hundreds and hundreds of years longer. 
Or the fact that a lot more people can play it as children because it doesn't take expensive equipment.
Soccer got so popular because it's so CHEAP.
All you need is a Soccerball... and you can play soccer... with as little as two people. A soccer ball and them some objects to play the net.
It's also why Basketball is the fastest growing sport in the world... once you set up a hoop in your area... all you need is a ball.
