    Football (soccer) is the best sport.
    I have paid money for tickets to see football matches for over ten years and will do so for as long as live:D
    I spend £1000 a season on football tickets :p

    I do a lot of sports journalism, so I get a chance to see a lot of stuff each year. I really love football (American and soccer), basketball and baseball...but I'd have to say my favorite is basketball by a slim margin.

    Is soccer really so exciting?
    I never watched much soccer; Don't you want a game where they score more often :p
    ~~

    I didn't say I 'hate' soccer, just never got exposed to it very much.

    More goals is exciting, but a game where both teams play well and the score is only 1-0 is just as good. I also think having a bit of banter with opposing fans is what makes football even better.

    In the US, maybe. Worldwide it goes Soccer > baseball/basketball (it's close...) > rugby > hockey > tennis > American football, if I remember the last "official" poll ESPN conducted.

    Whilst I do love football (soccer to our American friends) and cricket I have to say my favourite sport on TV is 'American' football, i.e. the NFL. (hereafter referred to as 'gridiron'). I can only really watch football if I want one of the teams to win, but I have no interest in say Chelsea v Man U or Liverpool v Arsenal. However with gridiron I can watch any game and really enjoy it, it's a fabulous sport.

    exactly, depends where you are. Soccer is probably the 8th most popular sport in the USA :D...unless you're talking junior soccer leagues and the like that children are involved in.
