Far and away the reason this is the #1 sport in the world..........as citizens of third world countries like Costa Rica and Guam can play the game with no money.

With sports in countries like the USA and CANADA that feature sports such as football, baseball, hockey, and golf, one actually needs a few bucks to play the freaking sport.

I like soccer, but it being the most popular sport in the world means diddly squat in terms of entertainment value.
