Football and popularity.Soccer has been played in Europe for a very long time. As you know, football was first created in Great Britain. The game is unique because you primarily use your feet to play the game. This requires far more skill and coordination than most other sports where hands are used.

Football has spread around the world simply through the immense pleasure that children and adults alike have in playing the game.

Football is not only the most played sport in the world but also the most watched. Again this is due to the excitement and high skill levels of football. The game is always open and any team can regain possesion and attack at any stage.

Football is a term used by other sports around the world such as..Aussie rules football, Rugby football union and league American football and Gaelic football.

However only one true game of football exists and this is the one played with the foot and a ball, makes sense I guess.

Football has had many opponents in it's history. Mainly coaches and journalists of other sports who have become jealous of footballs popularity. However football continues to grow and dominate the sporting landscape.

Football wasn't first created in Great Britain.

Football was played in many countries in the world, since ancient times.

The Ancient Greeks and Romans played ball-games.

China played "kick ball" since around 200 BCE, it had rules as well.

But mainly they had a ball, which had to be kicked through an opening, into a net.

This was the earliest form of football for which there is evidence of.

The first football association was created in England, however.

Some version of football has been played for 3,000 years. In 19th century England there was one type being played but there was no uniform rules. Eventually the game morphed into 2 different games, one called Association Football, and the other called Rugger Football. The split became irreconcilable in 1869 and the English Football Association was formed. It was called simply The Football Association and contained only English teams. Then Scotland formed a team and 3 months later their own Football Association. The sport grew from one association in 1869 to 204 members in all parts of the world.

I haven't answered the question. As far as I can see there is no single answer that explains the popularity of Soccer, Baseball, Tennis, Golf or any other team sport.

Soccer, baseball, rugby, Basketball are all "war" type sports in which one team tries to defeat another. Maybe somewhere in the human Psyche there is a need for warlike activity and people have turned to these games as a less final way of going to war. Except the English fans. It seems they still want to see their opponents and their supporters dead.

Football has become the most played sport in earth as well as the most watched.

Football is a sport of technique and skill. It does not matter if you are small or are male or female as skill level is the ultimate decider of success.

In football the ball is always open and everyone has the chance to have a touch of the ball, defense can turn to attack in seconds.

The rules of football are easy to follow and can be taught in seconds. Thus allowing people to enjoy playing the game. Goals can be spectacular and give the scorer a feeling of real joy.

Football is a team sport and a less talented team can win if they work together. This makes football a tactical game, well as a skill based game.

its not all it is, is a bunch of guys making money for running up and down a field.

You are very wrong in your answer soccer is a very physically demanding sport and you need to be in shape to play it. also it is not just people running up and down a field for money those people who get payed a lot of money are very talented soccer players and are in very good physical conditions. So i would like to see you and whoever asked this question to play soccer and tell me if it is as easy as you think. i play soccer myself and have been playing for quite some time and it isn't easy at all so please learn the sport before you open your uneducated mouth.

Im guessingthe first guy thinks that football is more of a sport than soccer well its not. Football is just a bunch of guys jumpin on top of eachother. All you need is strenght to play football. For socceryou need stamina, strength, and agility
