Soccer is a team work and it might be a third world game but it is amazing to watch 11 players playing against rich and poor contry. It is a round ball and anyone can win. It is the #1 sport in the world and brings all the contries to show that we all can be as one; where poor and rich can be at the same level.

stinta says that millions of people watch soccer...That's because it is a third world game where most people don't work and have lots of time to go to games.

I agree with Wayne, totally boring and a non skill sport, That is why anyone can play it. ninety minutes of running around and no or very little scoring, YUP, BORING

Except the USA and a few other countries, soccer is the world's most popular sport. No other sport is being played and watched by so many people. Today the sport is generally known simply as football in English-speaking countries in which it is the most popular football code. In countries where other codes are more popular, the sport is more commonly referred to as soccer. Of the 45 national FIFA affiliates in which English is an official or primary language, 42 use football in their organizations official name (only Canada, Samoa and the United States use soccer).
Millions of people regularly go to football stadiums to follow their favourite teams, while billions more watch the game on television. A very large number of people also play football at an amateur level. According to a survey conducted by FIFA, over 260 million people from more than 200 countries regularly play football. While football has the highest global television audience in sport, its simple rules and minimal equipment requirements at amateur level, have no doubt aided its growth in terms of participation.
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world and is an industry worth over US$400 billion world wide. 80% of this is generated in Europe.

Paint dry? It is actually an incredible tournament. Stupid North Americans will watch baseball (yawn) but not soccer... well at least when the Chinese take over they will have an appreciation for the world's greatest game!

The World Cup is very exciting. I love it. Its not the Stanley Cup but a great team sport with amazing skill. I recommend white folk give it a chance, you'll LOVE IT.
