football (the real one not this with helmets) give me a break!!! basketball? no way! cricket? ya for sure.... that no!!
Football is certainly the most popular sport in the world, since the reach that it has is almost unimaginable. Perhaps the reason why most people find it exciting is the face that it lasts only 90 minutes (105 if you take the half-time break, assuming it's a league game where draws are acceptable). During this time, the entire match could be defined by one moment of madness, or a flash of brilliance. It really is that simple. People watch with bated breath as to when that moment occurs...
I think, Football is the most famous Sport all around the world. But these days Cricket is giving a great competition to Football.
Football (soccer) has to be the most famous sport in the world. Thers so many countries playing it. I would say cricket comes next, mainly due to the large following in the subcontinent.
Football in the world... American Football is the 1st sports in USA... Ice Hockey is 1st sports in Canada. Thats my opinon...
