Soccer is the most popular sport with 3.3-3.5 billion fans worldwide. In Africa in the poorer places some children grow up with nothing but a soccer ball to play with. Everyday after school these kids will go out and play soccer. In England soccer is also very popular. England is the country that hosts the British premier league which we even watch hear in America. You could literally go anywhere and find someone to play soccer with, all over the world. It is like a language that is spoken wherever you go.
One of the reasons that people say that they dislike watching soccer is because of all of the flopping that happens. Yes, there are the guys that flop but in basketball they flop as much if not more yet these sports fans continue to watch basketball.
Here are some of the worst flops of soccer and basketball for the enjoyment of you guys.
I have always loved soccer because it is one of the only games where you use your feet for almost everything. Most people use their hand quite well but in soccer it is completely different. You must attempt to control a ball with your feet head or whatever you can without using your hands.
The other complaints people make for not watching soccer is that no one scores. Now usually there aren't that many goals in a game but I think that that is the fun of it. Two teams work against each other to keep control of the ball and work it up the field and have a shot on goal. the fact that they don't score all that often makes the goals that much more spectacular. To prove my point watch the video below.
For you soccer fans out there thank you for reading and for you non soccer fans I hope this gave you some good insight into why soccer is loved around the world.
