What is football to me... it changed my life, i played it when i was young kid for about 2 years in a team, then i left it then started at 15, been playing it ever since.. i am currently 19 playing in state league in Sydney, Australia... it changed me physically, mentally, socially. It made me realise that it changed the life of many children in disadvantaged communities all over the world, away from drugs and fighting. It is great for World Peace... Maybe not for England VS Argentina.. but it is still good. :D

I have exactly the same problem mate. Traditionally, like most people in the US, I have grown up watching American football and have always enjoyed it. Recently though I began watching football(soccer) and have fallen in love with the sport. I love the pace of the game, and the skill of the players. I have actually begun watching more soccer than football, so I guess that proves I like soccer better.

the game of soccer is fun to watch and fun to play. Maybe i cannot explain it well why is it so fun. But i like it better than American football and baseball, those to are boring because you don't move allot and i think that in a sport you have to move and to sweat alot. Soccer its fun to watch because when you watch your nation played, it represents you.

The popularity of the sports vary depending on where you live. In the UK football dominates all over sports and has by far the greatest following. The UK has a long history of football and a passion for the game that stretches back over many years. And by football i mean soccer (as it would be classed in the US). \n\nAs for US football i have to confess i know very little about it considering i live in the UK. Not quite sure why it's even called football considering the players throw and catch the ball throughout most of the game! It seems to have a big following in the US though so it must have some appeal.\n\nFor me personally Football (Soccer) is the much greater game. It's fast, tactical and gives license to players to pull off some amazing tricks. For me the large following over here in the UK is another factor. Rivalry between clubs is fantastic and it creates a passion for the game that i feel is unequalled. I also think Football (Soccer) is a very international sport and can help bring large communities together - as will be seen at the World Cup in the summer. Football can often get bad press through hooligans and thugs but they are in the minority. It has the potential to bring people together in a way no other sport can.

let me put it this way, if youre not watching football and youre a man, then there is something wrong with you. but football is fun mainly because of the intensity that is shown and the hard hitting that the players do. it is also fun if you have playing experience, if you do, it will just remind you of your old days playing high school ball or college.

what i think is, soccer or so called football mostly is quite easy to understand, play and it is really exciting too. no matter, if you don't have a ball to play, i have seen kids esp. kicking this clothes wrapped up round in a sock and playing it.. so its amazing !!\n and its not always necessary that you have to have 11 players a team..except for the tournament.

Football is the universal world sport, played by millions, not confined to North America, and is the inspiration for thousands of children every day.\nPele, the greatest footballer of all time, but it simply when he called it 'The Beautiful Game'.

The motive why football is such an INTERNATIONAL sport, it's not only because you only need a goal, a ball and at least 3 players in each side. It's for the FANS it has all over the world.\nFootball has so many fans for the PASSIONS  it generates. And this passion comes from the comments "that decision was good .... no it was bad ....where was he looking ... ".\nWhen a referee or assistant  referee makes a decision it generates CONTROVERSY between fans,  if doen't matter if you are from the same team or the opposite team, you have to make your point approving or disapproving the call.\nThat controversy is the HEART of football, that's what catch a fan at least during a tournament, and if we have luck for live.\nDon't use the technology that will kill the passion and controversy  of football, that will take from us those future moments where we will be arguing  that the referees were right or wrong, betting a beer that "YYY" will have the same opinion .... lets leave the imperfection of a perfect game alive. \nRemember football is passion and that passion comes from the controversy it generates .....  so let us be the last team's sport pending of the decision of one that will sparkle our passion.\nThat's the reason why I don't want or need the technology.

The beautiful game.  Still a sport.  It makes the whole world stop.  More than the Olympics, more than any other event.  The goal means more than any other score in any other sport.  It is so elusive that when one is scored, feelings of euphoria and near death are felt at the same time.  It's the true football...\n\nGang, it's not American football...Look at the category.

Football is the best, it's very competitive, where any team can beat anyone, it's not like that in most other sports. It's a simple game, anyone can learn it and understand with a little time. In most game it's close, making it exciting and this keeps people glued to the game. It's also very fun to play, well, that's if you don't mind taking a hit or two.\n\nBaseball is fun to play, but anymore it's the same teams winning and loosing year after year. It's also a slow game.

Because football, when played properly and in the manner intended, is inded a beautiful thing to watch. Just watch a match from Arsenal's title winning season of 2001-2002 and you'll understand. ;-)\n\nIt probably arised from the 70s, when the Dutch invented Total Football. They placed the emphasis not just on winning, but winning by playing nice, fast-flowing football. It was pass here, pass there, shoot, score. They often ripped opponents apart using that method, and it captivated many fans.
