Except the USA and a few other countries, Soccer is the most popular sport in the world.
How and why is this ball game have become so popular?
The first reason is tradition - in many countries over the years, many rivalry, traditions and community relevance were raised. A lot of soccer clubs has fans with the same religion, political opinions or history. This is why for those people it is much more than a game - it is about tradition, dignity, pride, joy and glory. Those fans share happiness, disappointments, wins, loses, joy and tears, Bad times on one hand and great times from the other.
Not like other ball games as basketball, Baseball, Handball etc.. Soccer has a very few highlights peak during the game. Most of the matches have between 2-3 goals, and the game could turn around sometimes in 5 minutes. That's why Soccer seems to be more romantic than other sports.
In the Major countries, especially the less developed, you can see kids from very young age play with the ball trying to score goals. You can see the passion on their eyes, and the longing to the ball. You will not see them on the street playing volleyball or Tennis.
Then they grow up and share the passion with their families and children.
In my onion, there is no beautiful sight in the sports world, like a joyful crowd after a goal in a crowded big stadium. Some researches even say, the filling of a fan after his team scored a goal is equal to an orgasm during sex.
Because of the mentioned reasons and many more, Soccer is the most popular, exciting and fascinating Sport in The world.
