              Exactly!!!!

              AGAIN......

              SOCCOR is the most popular sport in the WORLD because kids from 2nd and 3rd world countries only need an 89 cent ball or a coconut................simple factoid.

              In other news, the US OPEN this weekend will draw more interest this week from U.S. CITIZENS than the entire month long world cup

                      Really though, I respect both games so I have no interest in this battle.

                          You need an 89 cent ball(coconut, skull, or other dried fruit for ball)........and a couple sticks, dead animal or something similar for the goal.

                              You know what's funny.........I like soccer more then 99.8% of my fellow U.S. citizens.

                              I love watching it and betting it.........even enjoyed playing the game.

                              I'm often defending this sport to my American counterparts.

                                Football is basically only in America. Sure other countries have it, we're talking about soccer which ANYONE can play. The World has no clue the rules of football. Not many rules in futbol. I don't even understand how this is an argument. It has to do with viewability.

                                  I think you have a valid point, it's probably been easy for families to get a soccer ball and it's become very popular over the years in many countries. But it's like Dominicans and such with baseball, they've grown up with a stick and a rock and learned to love baseball. It's all a culture thing really.

                                    American football rules are complicated and the sport's younger. I'd expect international adoption to be slow.

                                      You should be happy, finally a real sport, not some commercialized light entertainment more interested with in-game add breaks, cheerleaders and not respecting their supporters.

                                      Football (soccer) is more than just a game

                                        Guys I'm talking about playing the sport in the streets in the park , growing up we just needed the pigskin to play football nothing else, so his argument makes no sense , because in the Caribbean they love baseball and they are pretty far from being a first world country

                                              You try to kick a coconut or a skull barefoot (since you only need that to play soccer) and see how many toes you have after that.

                                                  The only obvious thing I see in this thread is Fishhead has definatly played a few games of football without his helmet.

                                                    You should be happy, finally a real sport, not some commercialized light entertainment more interested with in-game add breaks, cheerleaders and not respecting their supporters.

                                                    Football (soccer) is more than just a game
                                                    that may be true, but until those kids see a PRO league in the USA paying millions for their skill. The kids will still sign up for Football, Basketball and Baseball.

                                                        Amblai my argument is that fh says that soccer is the most popular sport because you only need a ball to play, so my question was what do you need to play football because growing up we only needed a football
