Soccer far and away.  Soccer is played and followed heavily in most of the world outside the US.  American football is heavily followed in North America and mostly a novelty in the rest of the world, which is far more populous.

Yeah it's popular in Europe too.\nLots of kids in those countries play soccer.  Soccer is even popular in the United States.  I see lots of vans and SUVs with soccer logos on the bumpers.  Lots of soccer moms and lots of leagues.

It's the most popular sport in the world.  However, it is really known as football around the world.  American's named it soccer because, well they needed a silly name to call it, since they had a sport named football that really doesn't make sense to call it football.

National: Brazil. \nThey have the most entertaining style of play (short, crisp passes), the most world cup titles(5), a never-ending stream of exquisite players - Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, ...\n\nClub: Real Madrid. \nJust entertaining to watch with all the great players on the field.

Is this a serious question? do you follow football at all? in order to qualify they have to compete against; Brazil (the worlds number one), Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Uruguay and Paraguay, all great footballing nations where football is the number one sport. In Venezuela, baseball is more popular than football.

Brazil is because there are so many good players and many young players they have recruited. They play soccer like everyday. Brazil won the last world cup.

I love soccer, too bad it's not very popular in the US. I guess the Americans love only incredibly boring sports like American football and baseball - sports that move at glacial speeds!

A lot of sports are exciting to play and watch to name a few Soccer, Cricket, Basketball, Baseball, American Football, Tennis, Table Tennis, Rugby, Badminton ..... depends on the individuals taste and resources available.\n\nBeing from the south asian origin, I personally am a die hard cricket fan but when it comes to peronal fitness, I would vote for Soccer and Badminton would come next.
