Football happens to be one of the most popular, if not the most popular, sport in the world. The fan base is very different like race, language, age, and gender. As a result, it can truly be called as the universal sport. Football continues to grow in popularity with many countries, where the likes of rugby or cricket have dominated, starting to adopt football as their primary sport. Here are the top reasons why football continues to be extremely popular. Football is played all around the world not a lot of sports are. A lot of people can just get together on the street and play. It is watched all over on TV and on the internet or even on the radio.People like seeing a bunch of people battle it out for just a point at a time it makes it even more intense. There is twenty two people on the field at once and just one ball. They play 90 minutes and see who wins. Lots of people bet on games that makes it more exciting. People have not just thought of this sport as just a sport they have thought of it as a culture or a lifestyle. I know when I talk to any foreigners from anywhere but america they all know about football or they flat out love it. It’s not hard to just play cause a lot of poor countries play this game and they don’t have the best places to play it so anywhere really does for a game of football. Lots of countries have formed rivalries against each other and that has just made the sport even better then what is was before the hatred between the two countries is what keeps the game alive in a way. I personally like the sport a lot.
