Well, i like baseball and Ice Hockey.
But i think the magic in Football is that the scoring doesn't happen everytime or it can happen very quickly.
It's like sex, if you're not making it everytime, you enjoy it more when you do.

Aussie Rules is a game of speed, strength, skill, finesse and stamina (and quite a bit of athleticism).

Football was invented by the good old Brits, so the americans felt they had to steal it. So they called it soccer and prtended it was a whole new sport. Thats the yanks for you!!!!!! (and aussies) |

I guess the most populat sport activity in the US are as follows:
1. American Football
2. Baseball
3. Basketball
4. Ice Hockey
Here in Manila - Soccer or best called as Football is not a popular game. Basketball and Billiards now rule the metropolis!
The greatest Soccer player of all time for me is still the undisputed - Pele of Brazil and not Beckham of UK or Maradona of Argentina or even Ronaldo and Rivaldo of Brazil as well.
I use to represent our school against the others when I was still in Elementary when playing Soccer (midget division), and my, that sport is very tiring! |

Reason 1: America didn't invent it, we are not the best, so to cover our asses, we say that it sucks. Best example of this, baseball, which oh my God it sucks more than anything in the world. Americans like it, but most don't realize that most of the players are foriegn.
Reason 2: Soccer doesn't have something exciting happen every minute, like basketball or American football. Soccer is the beautiful game, because a play can start a full 5 minutes before the goal. And when the goal goes in, that is very exciting.
Reason 3: Let America win the World Cup, and then as is true in American fashion, they will all jump on the bandwagon of soccer, calling it the best.
Reason 4: We like baseball, the most stupid game ever invented. I heard that God actually invented Hell only for those that like baseball. God I hate baseball. I pray everytime that there is talk of a strike, that the sport will implode on itself.
Soccer is the best sport in the entire world, that might be why it is number 1 in the world.
And whats up with us calling the baseball, basketball and american football championships the "World" championships.
