darts and pool are both on tv so idk i guess they qualify for sports now. this is not suppose to be an american bashing thread this is simply suppose to state what sport is the most popular in the world. i live in america and i dont want to bash it just cause soccer isnt the most poplular sport here. if u dont like soccer good for u but u dont have to bash it. u bash it in england and u get yur face beat it. they have whole bars deaicated to certain teams and if u walk into one of those and say anything bad a/b there team, while i hope u have good insurance. and for u who say soccer is boring to watch i have to say it is, if u dont know how to watch it that is. its a complicated game to watch so much is going on at once that if u dont see everything it becomes boring. i personally love watching soccer more then football b/c soccer is more constent action the football. theres never tv commercials during the european soccer games unlike football wheres theres a commercial almost every 10 minutes. but hey tahts my opinion.

lol those are awsome. the only reason they happen is cause soccer fans in Eurpoe are so freakin loyal. there team loses to a rival and a rival tries to rub it in there and bam u got a riot. funny but dangerous all at teh same time. hmm maybe we should argue over teh craziest fans in the world? SOCCER FANS FTW!

it is true, soccer is the world's most popular sport.

But it has a huge issue as far as tv exposure in the US because it doesn't allow for tv timeouts.

I think bowling tops the most boring to watch... watch the pins fall down again. And again. And again...

I was going to say golf, but I actually was flipping channels and stopped because there was this guy throwing a cooler with ice spraying everywhere after he missed a shot. Whoa, ACTION in golf?

Professional fishing's even worse, CAST reel in, CAST reel in, HIT Tug pull fish into the boat. Now sometimes they try to make it exciting, "WHAO that's a big one"

DUDE IT'S A LARGE MOUTH BASS, GO HUNTING GREAT WHITES with a stick and a knife, then I'll be impressed. (Inde stole my bowling so fishing's there too).

cricket,golf and baseball are the most boring sports to watch for me.
most entertaining sports i like to watch are: 1.football 2.basketball 3.rugby league (australian rugby). and i like to watch swimming but only in the olympics coz records get broken. and one more thing, canada and usa arent the only countrys to call football soccer, us aussies call it soccer also but now we r starting to say football coz its the right way.

I don't see the point in this post, is it to bash america? prove you're annoying? I don't think anyone will deny that football is the worlds most popular sport - by a lot too.

I know in the US this year they got a lot more rights for televising premiership games and champions league games this year, and that doesn't come cheap so hey - someone over there must be watching it.

I pwnd U - I notice your avatar is from when United got knocked out of the champions league by Benfica, of that goal keeper who went down like he'd been shot :-\ - the highlight of that match was ronaldo sticking his middle finger up at the benfica fans

and to whoever said america dominates at most sports - you're so wrong

man utd SUX...kidding. theyre ok, but the best teeam IS chelsea even though man utd beat us by scoring that weird header. chelsea champs of europe this season FOR SURE.
and no-one start saying that chelsea are doing so well coz they got billions of dollars, thats just one part of y theyre good, our manager is the best guy ever, he knows who to buy and they gel together quite well. not like real madrid.we r wat real madrid should be.

<- man u fan

Chelsea are the best team in the world, and right, it's not just because you have one of the richest men in the world as the owner (although that does help a damn lot) - murinho is the best manager there is.

Personally though I don't find Chelsea to be entertaining, I find Arsenal entertaining, united on form entertaining, barcelona too - but chelsea are just dull.

Real Madrid don't have a fraction of the cash of what Chelsea have available to them
