It's the simplest.\n\nAll soccer/football needs:\n(1) a ball\n(2) a big playing field\n(3) a minimum of 2 players (1 if you're good)\n\nWith few resources, it can be played all around the world easily.  Unlike other sports which require tons of equipment and lots of players.

yes football is the most popular sport in d planet, becacuse its exhilarating to watch. firstly and clearly most significant, is the development of the world cup from an invitational tournament among a few elite soccer nations to a global television circus which commands greater attention than any other world sporting event. parallel to the world cup, has been the explosive growth of the highest-level club game. the european champions league not only commands attention on every continent, its dominant clubs have become dependent upon global talent. is a sport that is loved and played all over the world. bigs clubs in europe continue to play in different countries, like asia, and north america trying to break into the market and make it a even more popular sport.

Well association football (soccer) is popular, but the national sport in terms of spectator popularity is almost certainly Cricket, followed by Australian Rules Football, and then Rugby League.\nSoccer is the most popular participation sport, but mainly because of it's popularity with under-18's! It is growing amongst adults, and will continue to do so, but the traditional three still hold sway for adult participation. \nNetball is the most popular participation sport for women.

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 just begining to get popular in the US as more youth and people are getting involved in it. As the more famous names come to the US, the more popular it gets.\n\nI believe it isnt as big in the US because American Football has taken the higher position here. As you see, soccer isnt even shown too much on TV or in magazines such as sports illustrated because half of their pages cover either American Football or Baseball. So when it isnt publicized enough, people don't really care much for it.\n\nThe rest of the world is a common place for soccer because it started with people as children. Many children in Europe, Africa, etc grew up playing only soccer (because soccer was their only main sport in the country) in their streets and I believe it spreads from there.\n\n\nHope that helps,\nGood luck

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!

american football, because of the fact that you can't expect anything. one play there could be a sack for a loss of 10 yards, and the next play the running back could run for 80 yards. it's completely wild, and anything could happen.

Football (or soccer as you call it), has never been, and never will be, a game where the scores run into double figures. That's half the excitement/heartbreak of it. Knowing that a game can turn in a split second, with one incident.\n\nIt's because of this that it's unique in it's universal appeal for hundreds of millions of people, from all races and cultures.\n\nAnd if you look closely enough, you could say all sports are linked. Most use some kind of ball and are played in a specific, marked out area.
