I love all sports and these are the top 10:\n\n1. Baseball- You can't argue with the magic a baseball game brings to a father and son, including all around the world.\n2. Football- Football is a rugged sport and is very popular with our country.\n3. Soccer- I'm talking world wide here.  I think soccer is a very physically demanding sport, though I find it particularly boring to watch.\n4. NASCAR- Anybody can drive a car.  This sport shows that you can be extremely competitive while doing something relatively easy.\n5. Basketball- Alot of people in the world think basketball is a new age sport with nothing but new aged moves.\n6. Hockey- Hockey is a very popular sport with all of those tough guys in the world.\n7. Boxing- Boxing is a sport where it is survival of the fittest.  No evolution involved.\n8. Golf- Golf is a particularly easy sport to play.  It just takes a lot of practice to get good at it.\n9. Lacrosse- Lacrosse is the best hodgepodge sport ever.  It is a mix of field hockey, hockey, soccer, basketball, football and catch.  Ahh the power of cheese.\n10. Horse Racing- Congratulations to all of the lazy people in the world who watch horses and call it their sport.  It is the horses who should get all of the credit with the support of their jockeys.

Because soccer or I shall say football is one of the most played games in the entire world, except USA. \n\nThe world is hooked on it, just like americans watch superbowl and would kill someone if anyone would try to stop them. Hence, football puts the fighting on the field with 22 players.\n\nIts an awesome sport if you play professionaly. I spent 12 years playing it, its awesome.\n\nFootball is diplomacy with balls!
