Soccer is popular because of the tension that builds up during play.  Scoring a goal is like winning at chess.  The intricate strategy required to beat the offside trap and score while not being fouled or committing a foul is incredibly difficult.  So when someone scores, it's an incredible release and when you watch it you just go nuts.  Plus, the atmosphere at matches is incomparable.  Fans go crazy!  You just have to experience it to understand it.

Soccer!!!  Soccer is a fast moving sport.  I love the constant motion with very few breaks in the aciton. \n\nI do not care for any other sports.  Here is a rundown on most sports as I see them:\nbaseball - NO action unless player hits ball\nfootball - most of the time moves only 10 yards every hour\nbasketball - too many time outs and what fun is it to watch a game where the guys are all so tall that there is NO challenge getting the ball in the hoop...they just walk up and drop it in\ngolf - boring! takes 10 minutes to decide to hit the ball, hit the ball, then walk for another 10 minutes, repeat

The reasons soccer is fast becoming the most popular sport the world has ever known:\n\n1.  The rules are increadibly simply - anybody can understand them.\n\n2.  Playing football requires nothing more than a ball - therefore football matches are easy to organize... Where as organizing a cricket match (for example) requires a few humdred pounds worth of hardware and a biliard-table-flat strip of turf\n\n3.  Football's scoring system offers the most valuable currency of all sports.  Ie.  One single point can win a match... where as one point in Rugby isnt that valuable and one point in cricket is hardly even worth a clap.   The valuable currency makes for feverish excitement when points are scored. \n\n4.  The relentless expantion of the football season, blanket press coverage and high power ad campaigns have raised the sports profile imeasuraby.

Soccer (football) isn't popular in the US because it's boring.  There are better athletes and more money in other sports.  We don't grow up saying, "If I could only be David Beckham and play in the World Cup."  We say, "If I could only throw the winning touchdown pass in the Super Bowl."  Soccer players are glorified cross country runners with coordination.  On top of all that, we suck miserably at the sport because our best athletes go elsewhere.

Soccer is the most popular game in the world because anyone can participate in it! The game can be played by poor and rich, you do not need a certain amount of money in order to play or observe this great sport. Soccer is a game of passion and a game and of hope. Soccer is the sport of the people! Soccer is a game that unites countries on the field and does not see political beliefs. Soccer is simply the a tradition.

There is no doubt it's Soccer.  That is the only major sport in all of Europe as well as South America and Central America.  \n\nAnd now that the U.S. is becoming a large and popular sport (the men's team is the 6th ranked country in the world and the women's team is the 3rd best), soccer has and will continue to top the rankings.

1.- Mexico\n2.- National pastime, just like baseball is here.\n3.-None, soccer is the most played sport in the world.\n4.-Soccer in America has a back seat to other sports, so it doesn't have any effect, the common denominator here is that it unites people from very different ethnic backgrounds to play. In Mexico, soccer is followed by a very passionate group of people, one can easily skip school, work, you name it, just to watch a soccer game.\n5.- They identify with each other. They are strangers with the same interest, communication is easier as well.\n6.- No, it doesn't matter.
