Europe popullation: 750 millions- USA popullation: 320 millions. I am not from the USA and I am not European, but football(soccer) is hands down the most played and liked sport worldwide. And it is not only played in Europe, its the most popullar sport in South America, there are great African players all over the world and it is wildly growing in Asia.
The WatchMojo team leader: OK guys we need a couple of clips from a football (soccer) match, shall we get say, Real Madrid vs Barcelona? Manchester United vs Manchester City? England vs Spain? One guy: How about Yeovil vs Accrington? -_-
People call football (soccer) boring because they only score a few goals. That's what makes it exciting, scoring many points in other sports makes scoring not really important that much. While in football (soccer) every chance brings excitement
Hockey has the same amount of goals but it’s more than just people running up and down a field, I’ve played lacrosse, hockey and soccer on competitive levels and my 2 favorite to watch have to be lax and hockey. Far more exciting
indeed. Plus an honorable mension to cycling: very low threshold to do it, can be both an individual and a teamsport, and it can be as competitive as u don't want it to be.
the thing about most sports other than soccer is that you Ned to have skills to enjoy playing, it's sucks playing basketball sucks if you have no shot skills, baseball sucks if u can hit the incoming ball, hockey sucks if you're not a good skater &can't control the puck, soccer is very simple compared to other sports because u don't need to be as athletic to enjoy it
dumb bitch football (soccer) requires the most skill. You can be a fat fuck and be good at american football but you can't in soccer. Also you need to be able to control the ball, pass the ball with accuracy, be able to jump for headers, dribble with the ball, skills, running with speed, and be able to shoot with accuracy and power. YOU NEED SKILL TO PLAY FOOTBALL, NOT THAT SHIT YOU AMERICANS CALL AMERICAN FOOTBALL
Now. Why in the fuck do you call it hand egg. Why not call rugby hand egg. There are many types of "football". The one soccer is association football. The others consist of rugby football, Australian rules football, and American football. And I the country the football populated is just called football. Now shut the fuck up with your complaining that we call it the wrong thing. At least we play and we can make it out of a group stage.
Invisible26 You are aware that the term soccer was created by the British right. Association Football, If you look in association you can see "soc" The word Soccer was made from this because of the British tendency to and the suffix "er" to words. And that is how the term soccer was first made. So before you go off saying shit like that, get your facts straight.
While I'm willing to concede soccer as the #1 spot considering how popular it is, there is no way in hell that Swimming is more fun than basketball. Swimming pretty much consists of either relays or individual events while with basketball you can have fun on your own or with multiple people. Having Basketball only at #3 is bullcrap
I am a fan of swimming and loved that it was infact #2 however i agree with bormannator that basketball is infact a game you can play with any number of people. However since swimming can also be just going to the beach or pool with your friends I will say still top 3 even if its not number 2
The Difference is: Soccer can be played by almost everyone; It doesn't matter what sex, weight, height or figure you are of. Everyone has his or her own style of playing it. (Ok maybe you shouldn't be too fat, but you get the point). On the other hand for a footballer you should be at least 6 feet tall and have a weight of at least 100kg. Otherwise forget it. This is why Soccer is so much more popular worldwide.
D1ttoDud3 I just used the term soccer so that people can distinguish between football and american football without writing "american" because I am lazy and that is overly long xD
Ik i might get hate for this but, Does anyone here like Track and field. Like seriously u can just put on runners and go for a jog and clear your mind u can race your friend like almost anywhere i know its not the greatest because running lon distance and stuff is hard asf but if you agree that Running is fun just leave a like
I prefer long distance walking (although not nearly as far as a marathon) and riding a bicycle. Running long distance does not get me very far before I'm sore.
Football: 90% American Football: 10% Football Voters: 100% The whole world. American Football Voters: 80% Americans 20% Canadians (70% of them are middle aged)
I've had the pleasure of playing Soccer, Basketball, Football and Baseball and I love them all, but Soccer will always hold a special place in my heart. This video reminded me of my childhood. Playing baseball in the streets, football in the front yard, soccer at the school, basketball on the driveway, ahhh memories :)
The reason i'ts number one is because whenever soccer is involved on a list an isn't number one you soccer fans scream and cry almost as much as soccer players do.
You guys really need to hire an Aussie and or a pommy. Your lists ate so americanised. Im not doubting American football but cmon if it was as good as u think more countries would play it.
Baseball is not a joke, bud. Many countries play baseball, and all that do have it as one of their top sports. In most cases, baseball is more popular, in the the countries that play it, than futbol. Hitting a moving baseball with a bat is the single hardest task in sports.
@@abhiramputta2685 football is fun when play against same level player with good area. But for me cricket is good in everywhere ❤️. It is criminally underrated in Europe and america
Cricket should have been more than an honourable mention Imo. Americans, think of it like this. Batting is like batting in baseball, except after three strikes you are still in, and can score 100s, instead ofjust having one shot. bowling is also great because there is a lot of papassion ininvolved. much bebetter yhthan baseball IMO
Lol, I'm English XD. Don't get me wrong baseball is fun, I just believe that Cricket is the superior game :P Canadians aren't even that into Cricket from what I know.
I feel like ultimate frisbee is extremely underrated. It's what I played both friendly and competitively and I absolutely love it. Can't seem to find anyone else that enjoys it :(
I'm glad cricket was an honerable mention. It's a sport that anyone can play, no matter their age or physical fitness or strength. I've played with ultra high fitness guys, 12 year old and 75 year olds. It's also a game where men and women can play in the same team without a problem ( until you get to professional games anyway). It's also a game where you can spend half your time sitting on the side, watching your mates bat and having a drink. A very social sport.
Shame they banned beer at my club, couple of us wound up walking out half cut and chose to pick the red dot in the middle when batting. Fancy helping me promote the game in Ireland?
Cricket is the 2nd most popular sport in the world and it cannot even make the list. Backyard cricket is regarded as one of the best sports to play with family/friends. I suggest watching the Indian and Australian T20 leagues, way more interesting and exciting than Baseball.
No, for me its when you hit that really sweet ball from the halfway line, and it flies all the way. And it hits the crossbar with a really satisfying sound.
Pretty sure Snowboarding and Skiing is more popular than skatebording, but anyway I'm not saying Snowboarding should be nr 1. That rightfully bellongs to Football. But table Tennis? Common.
My top 20 1. Ice Hockey 2. Baseball 3. Golf 4. Football 5. Roller Hockey 6. Dodgeball 7. Wrestling 8. American Handball 9. Street Hockey 10. Newcomb 11. Bowling 12. Capture The Flag 13. Basketball 14. Cycling 15. Flag Football 16. Parkour 17. Soccer 18. Fishing 19. Swimming 20. Rugby
Big fucking deal..People have been commenting this for 2 years..These comments are getting boring and have nothing constructive..Just like people shouting out you are going to die one day
As if Aussie Rules Football isn't even an honorable mention. I hate the sport, but god damn, you can't turn an Australian corner without finding someone who loves it. It's just as loved, if not more, by Australians than Americans love American football.
ethan hill Lol, no. In fact, more of us Aussies would watch cricket than those that would watch rugby. And more would watch Aus footy than would watch cricket.
PyroOfZen 85,000 people at the NRL Grand Final would disagree. Sure, around 100,000 people at the MCG is great, but go to the east coast and you will see a majority of league fans. Also, league is more of an international sport than AFL. Another question, when have people only been allowed to watch ONE sport? Why is that a thing? I love NRL, Cricket, AFL, Soccer, Tennis, Golf, Union, Hockey and pretty much anything else, except NFL and Baseball.
Come on, just because you don't like football(soccer) doesn't mean it's bad, it's the best, you cannot feel the passion from the player, the passion and energy of the crowd.
You could at least TRY to make it objective. A major consideration should be participation numbers. American Football and Rugby don't have high participation compared to most sports. They are watched a lot, but not played much in comparison. Can't believe Cricket isn't in there, it's unbelievably fun to play even if you don't like the sport and can be set up and played anywhere, backyard cricket is the best. Should be Football 1st and Cricket 2nd.
Just so you know Rugby is one of the fastest growing sports in american and is one that kids in countries like new zeeland start playing at a young age because its so acessible. It also can be played very easily recreationally. Also American football is played by almost every kid in school at some point and is part of american culture due to the popular thanksgiving football game.
TheIceman101418 My favourite sport is Rugby but it's not the one you watch in America(Rugby Union). It's Rugby League, which is similar, but some different rules. It's faster and more about speed and power, but not as tactical. Anyway I wish that was the case with participation, but here in Australia neither of them make the top 20. Rugby League is the most watched sport here(similar to NFL over there) with the top 3 most watched programs of last year being NRL games. Even though it is so popular, it still doesn't make the top 20 in participation. I don't know for sure about America but I've heard similar about the NFL, ie participation does not keep up with the sports popularity.
WatchMojo will be launching a game show soon, get a leg up on the competition by visiting the WatchMojo Trivia section watchmojo.com/trivia/ in the meantime... and stay tuned for the details! Coming soon... 2015.
+Aquilotto Biancoceleste why the fuck is swimming on there? If your talking about the sport swimming, how is it fun at all. What this list didnt take into account is the training involved in each sport, as swimming is by far the most boring sport i have ever taken part in.
+in4mous_cool I'm not gonna be a keyboard warrior here but cricket and rugby really are good fun to play. Rugby is all about strength and teamwork to get a try, and cricket is all about getting the batsman out (if you're on the fielding fielding side) or hitting and running if you're batting. I have played hockey, and it is good fun too
"we considered the accesibility of a sport" Ice hockey, Golf, football, court tennis, swimming. Oh yeah, these sports are very accessible for most people, everyone in the ghettos are playing golf or swimming in their courtyard pools. srsly wtf?
All sports are fun to play. Why is it such a competition? You play sports because you love it and you have fun so who the hell cares if they don't think it's fun as long as you are having fun.
Im so sick of this blatant american bias. How is cricket and rugby - a sport played and renowned by billions in asia, africa and europe be on the same level as games like badminton and get out ranked by american football, and baseball?? - 90% of the kids in india will never here about the yankies or LA lakers but most of the world will know who sachin tendulkar is... UNSUB
what bumb ass you are men, fucking read facts bro there are only 12 minutes of actually playing time in a football game, the rest is standing around waiting for the hike thing and in time out.
+Gabe Minnetonka i dont think it should be on here at all. you need to know how to skate which i dont along with countless others. but if everyone knew how to then id say at the very least number 2
+John Smith i mean it still is one of the most fun to play, theres just a large skill gap to overcome. Just because its hard to learn doesnt mean it shouldnt be on the list, right?
no because i cant skate. i wish could play but where im from theres hardly any teams. ive never heard of any teams and cant find any. plus rugby is my first love.
+Danny Marx I find a constantly changing environment far more interesting than being stuck on the exact same, repetitive, unchanging sports ground for hours on end. People have different opinions, no need to hate.
Nothing comes close to matching the sheer joy of real football (not soccer). Baseball is every bit as boring to play as it is to watch. Soccer is just terrible. It is only so popular globally because of the reasons explained in this video - it is the only sport third world countries can play easily.
One of their criteria was accessibility. You obviously don't listen. You're idea of real football is where they they don't use their feet at all other than the punter and obviously to stand on them, that just isn't enough to call a sport football.
Football is more than a game! It's an art form! Absolutely anybody can enjoy playing it but honed players are artists! It's not just brute force as it's American counterpart!
This is the most fucking opioniated list ever mojo. This shouldn't be a list. Just because people recommend it doesn't mean you should make it a list. Like what the Fuck don't make a list about which sport Is better than the other.
10- Golg 9-Boxing 8-Cricket 7-Table tennis 6- Basketball 5-Volley ball 4-Long distance running 3-Sprinting 2-Swimming 1- AND THE BEST SPORT TO EVER EXIST OF ALL TIME IS TENNIS!!!!!!!!!!!
A.J. Accornero and thats stupid. Why did they make up the word soccer in the first place? Because they wanted a good football themselves? There is only 1 football.
+hockeytalk13 just because hockey isn't as popular as football you're calling him gay. Deal with reality because hockey is a game for savages who like checking people into the glass board thing and is only played in Canada and USA. So shut up you butthurt hockey fan.
+sami playsgames hockey is a real sport that requires skill and toughness. Unlike pathetic soccer where you run around faking injuries while not touching a polka dot ball with your hands. Not to mention the game is like 4 hours long and they can only score once on those huge nets. What an absolute joke. So shut up baby soccer fan
Says you butthurt just because hockey is played in two nations. Soccer actually requires skills if you watch it and trust me hockey requires no skill I seen Crosby and others play before. You should just admit that soccer is the top sport in the world because even the world's biggest sporting event is the FIFA world cup. And all these singers are all soccer fans what does hockey have ? Nothing.
RBEO22 Ik right, let us like what we wanna like. You know pretty much everywhere you go there will be at least a few people who like something you don't, get over it. I'm a professional bowler and I don't get butt hurt every time someone tries to tell me it's not a sport, or it's boring. I usually say "If you can beat me in a game you can say it's not a sport." Haha, their face always make me laugh.

Here comes all the people from Europe hating on American football and all the Americans hating on football.

American football doesn't exists. It's called handegg

One guy: How about Yeovil vs Accrington?
-_-
😂😂😂 true Hahahah
lol "skillful striker" and hes misses hahaha

+John Gurung I think he was a defender, look at the way he turns to have a go at his keeper. 8:44
Dantay He has squad number 5, I'm assuming he is a central defender, besides that was a hard shot, especially with the head
People call football (soccer) boring because they only score a few goals. That's what makes it exciting, scoring many points in other sports makes scoring not really important that much. While in football (soccer) every chance brings excitement
Deez Nuts not really
Roger Federer rules yes really
Exactly
Hockey has the same amount of goals but it’s more than just people running up and down a field, I’ve played lacrosse, hockey and soccer on competitive levels and my 2 favorite to watch have to be lax and hockey. Far more exciting

indeed. Plus an honorable mension to cycling: very low threshold to do it, can be both an individual and a teamsport, and it can be as competitive as u don't want it to be.
great list!
Thank you very much bro.
f*ck u for not putting soccer nigga
the thing about most sports other than soccer is that you Ned to have skills to enjoy playing, it's sucks playing basketball sucks if you have no shot skills, baseball sucks if u can hit the incoming ball, hockey sucks if you're not a good skater &can't control the puck, soccer is very simple compared to other sports because u don't need to be as athletic to enjoy it
What you're saying really depends on position, have you ever played football?
This is some high bullshit from someone who doesn't understand football
Its called football not soccer
Andrew Seviour no im just saying its called football not soccer coz it is
dumb bitch football (soccer) requires the most skill. You can be a fat fuck and be good at american football but you can't in soccer.

Jack Webb american has a different kind of football. all you are doing is going to people's comments and typing *football. you look like an ass clown

Lukas Gigler You could call american football by its real name then, grid iron.
Maurice Jones-Drew is an all star running back and is only 5'9".
You don't even need a ball to play football (soccer), sometimes all you need is a bottle or a can.
Nothing beat getting a game of football using a bottle before school for me
Sweet childhood memories
Footbottle sounds painful
You also don't need a ball for most of these sports dumbass.
or in KSI"s case u don't need a ball
Ik i might get hate for this but, Does anyone here like Track and field.

16 year old Australian here I would vote for American football instead of Soccer.
american football is way better then soccer, even touch football is better than soccer. i would raher do everything on this list than do soccer...
I'm Australian and I'm all for soccer. it's practically my life.
acka2001 maybe you can say all you want but your NFL will never compare to fútbol or soccer in popularity. Most popular sport in the world

As if Aussie Rules Football isn't even an honorable mention. I hate the sport, but god damn, you can't turn an Australian corner without finding someone who loves it. It's just as loved, if not more, by Australians than Americans love American football.

As an aussie, AFL isn't that fun to play for the average person tbh. Especially compared to some of this list.
These are my FAVORITE sports:
5. Ping Pong/Table Tennis
4. American Football
3. Basketball
2. Ice Hockey
1. Football/Soccer
My list(in my opinion)
5.Football
4.Swimming
3.American Football
2.Basketball
1.Baseball
you know that handball exists right?
Man I am a football fan, but handball is so fun to watch and play
+Mario Da Sexy Shy Guy Floorball also
just what I was thinking
I Love handball
it says fun sports
Come on, just because you don't like football(soccer) doesn't mean it's bad, it's the best, you cannot feel the passion from the player, the passion and energy of the crowd.
These people do not appreciate the beautiful game
+Marcos Freire I know
+Marcos Freire *These people do not appreciate shitty and boring game
here, fixed for you
Bartosz Skorupa if you don't like the sport that's fine but don't go around and insulting the sport!
Marcos Freire So far you are insulting others opinion. I only did the same about yours. Arent you glad?
You could at least TRY to make it objective.
A major consideration should be participation numbers. American Football and Rugby don't have high participation compared to most sports. They are watched a lot, but not played much in comparison.
Can't believe Cricket isn't in there, it's unbelievably fun to play even if you don't like the sport and can be set up and played anywhere, backyard cricket is the best.
Should be Football 1st and Cricket 2nd.
Just so you know Rugby is one of the fastest growing sports in american and is one that kids in countries like new zeeland start playing at a young age because its so acessible. It also can be played very easily recreationally. Also American football is played by almost every kid in school at some point and is part of american culture due to the popular thanksgiving football game.
TheIceman101418 My favourite sport is Rugby but it's not the one you watch in America(Rugby Union). It's Rugby League, which is similar, but some different rules. It's faster and more about speed and power, but not as tactical.
Anyway I wish that was the case with participation, but here in Australia neither of them make the top 20.
Rugby League is the most watched sport here(similar to NFL over there) with the top 3 most watched programs of last year being NRL games. Even though it is so popular, it still doesn't make the top 20 in participation.
I don't know for sure about America but I've heard similar about the NFL, ie participation does not keep up with the sports popularity.
WeLikeSportz Agreed! I know you'll be watching the Auckland Nines tournament today haha
Can't believe field hockey wasn't there as well, much bigger than ice hockey
Football is first.
cricket should be in that top 10
it looks like a cool sport but the rules are confusing
Ikr
+Ace Of Blades Not really...
Kenny Jugisteer for me cricket is better than baseball but everyone have his choice
Kenny Jugisteer cricket sucks
Soccer is life
*football
+Leo Sumulong soccer
+Jose Maria *football
+Hugo Ponce YOU ALL ARE WRONG! IT IS ⚽ NOT SOCCER OR FOOTBALL!
+KaspTV No it's life
WatchMojo will be launching a game show soon, get a leg up on the competition by visiting the WatchMojo Trivia section watchmojo.com/trivia/ in the meantime... and stay tuned for the details! Coming soon... 2015.
the list is so americanized i had to unsubscribe you
Danial Jenuil Maybe that's because they're American???
Danial Jenuil because it is world wised
a bat + a ball + a glove? Have you been introduced to hurling? its mobile baseball!
Diarmaid Reilly yea hurling or Gaelic should be there i played bought of them for a long time when i was in school they were great fun
My version: 10. Hockey 9. Hockey 8. Hockey 7. Hockey 6. Hockey 5. Hockey 4. Hockey 3. Hockey 2. Hockey 1. Hockey
Rt
you sir are completely correct
I like hockey but nothing compares to soccer/football
what about hockey?
I'd like play hockey, but i live in a very hot place :(
cricket is not famous in america doesnt mean u shouldnt mention in top10 list....check out the popularity of cricket growing day by day...
My personal list of the most fun sports I played so far would be
1. Football/Soccer
2. Skiing
3. Volleyball
4. Basketball
5. Sepak Takraw
What's the last one?
+Steven Smith Its a Thai sport, a mix between soccer and Volleyball
+Marco Killderoy Hippsteerrrrrrrrrr
+TheFelixpax No, my best friend is just from Thailand
+Marco Killderoy dude, it actually originated from Malaysia but Thai people are very good at it
For me 5. Basket 4. Tennis 3. Swimming 2. Soccer/Football 1. Rugby
+Aquilotto Biancoceleste why the fuck is swimming on there? If your talking about the sport swimming, how is it fun at all. What this list didnt take into account is the training involved in each sport, as swimming is by far the most boring sport i have ever taken part in.
+Connor Wicks that's his opinion, learn to respect other people's opinions
+Dibstubes so what if it is? He is allowed to question it. There's this thing called free speech
+Cubed Dragon I'm pretty sure " why the fuck is swimming there?" Isn't really questioning his opinion, nor it's it showing any respect to his opinion
Yeah
yes the number one is soccer. I play it.
1. Afl
2. Soccer
3. Cheese rolling
4. Rugby
5. Swimming
6. Table tennis
7. Tennis
8. Frisbee
9. Ice hockey
10. Wrestling
Dantad Games Why cheese rolling
i could play soccer literally all day
i could play soccer for a few hours but the northerner in me could definitaly do hockey all day everyday
Literally the most fun sport by far & the most social, anyone can join a side and enjoy even if you aren't that good
Yeah, not even in the honorable mentions.... Yesshhh
Marcelino Molina it's not fun
I hate you
Golf over hockey.... i'm speechless. also why do you always put the Montreal Canadians in the video when you talk about hockey.... Use someone else
ikr and also cricket and rugby i mean i dont know shit about how they are played but hockey is awesome to play
+in4mous_cool I'm not gonna be a keyboard warrior here but cricket and rugby really are good fun to play. Rugby is all about strength and teamwork to get a try, and cricket is all about getting the batsman out (if you're on the fielding fielding side) or hitting and running if you're batting. I have played hockey, and it is good fun too
i think probably because hockey requires so much gear but i totally agree man
watchmojo headquarters in montreal
They should use the Sens there my favorite
Seriously? I respect this "opinion list", but why is dodgeball not on here? Especially Ultimate Dodgeball on trampolines. THAT'S fun.

srsly wtf?

hit and don't get hit

Im so sick of this blatant american bias.
How is cricket and rugby - a sport played and renowned by billions in asia, africa and europe be on the same level as games like badminton and get out ranked by american football, and baseball?? - 90% of the kids in india will never here about the yankies or LA lakers but most of the world will know who sachin tendulkar is... UNSUB
All of china knows the lakers. Most of the fan base is Chinese for some reason.
I am pretty sure less than 90% of the worlds population know whoever the fuck sachin Tendulkar is.
Jack Pistagnesi You insulted the eternal ruler of the world. I will not stand for this. (jks)
rice is the most popular food, doesn't mean it's good...
Who the fuck is sachem dundulker?
I don't like Soccer, but there's probably something to it when it's played around the world.
it's football, not soccer
In America it’s called soccer
@@D1ttoDud3 fine futbol
Kinda pisses me off to think that WRESLTING (Real Wrestling) wasn't even an honorable mention.
What is "real" wrestling?
David Fischer gay porn
sloppygoo3624 Wow...Youre funny.
David Fischer Usa wrestling. look it up.
No my friend, Matt Stone and Trey Parker are funny ;), joke is from South Park
1. Soccer
2 baseball
3 volleyball
4 basketball
Baseball higher than football and tennis?! How?! It's boring as shit. You do nothing for like 5 minutes straight.
Hahahahah 5 minutes. More like 30 minutes because baseball is so fucking boring
what bumb ass you are men, fucking read facts bro there are only 12 minutes of actually playing time in a football game, the rest is standing around waiting for the hike thing and in time out.
i agree baseball is boring to watch but its actually kind of fun to play
***** Which Football.
it is boring but its more fun to play
"A skilful striker" as they show Yeovil Vs Accrington
They're more skillful than the average American player.
Seriously tho. Swimming? Who the fuck picked swimming as a fun sport??
You should try it
ever been to a water park?
Swimming is fun but not if you're playing it as a sport.
Hugh Jaenus But that mainly just splashing around, not actual swimming
i cant swim
I agree in the most points but handball needs at least to bei in the honorable mentions, it's so funny to play it
If golf is a sport, then so is watching youtube videos & leaving comments.
Same goes with bowling...
Soccer is my favorite
fotbal
futbol
Martin Goveia it’s football not futbol
1. Snowboarding
2. Soccer
3. Lacrosse
4. Ultimate Frisbee
5. Swimming
They obviously haven't played hockey because it should easily be in top 3 because its one of the of not most athletic, fast paced and exiting sports.
+Gabe Minnetonka i dont think it should be on here at all. you need to know how to skate which i dont along with countless others. but if everyone knew how to then id say at the very least number 2
+John Smith i mean it still is one of the most fun to play, theres just a large skill gap to overcome. Just because its hard to learn doesnt mean it shouldnt be on the list, right?
true. i cant get over the crazy skill of the game though and the fast pace action with a few good brawls to chuck in too damn
Do you play?
no because i cant skate. i wish could play but where im from theres hardly any teams. ive never heard of any teams and cant find any. plus rugby is my first love.
American Football, Swimming, and Basketball are my most favorite sports.
Swimming > Basketball ? Really
SedaW LoL ikr...
SedaW LoL ikr
Well I find swimming more fun so ye
One of the great mysteries of this list is how Lacrosse and Rugby are honorable mentions and Tennis and Ping Pong at list items
You got it wrong
1.quidich
I LOVE TENNIS
YES
At last someone said that tennis is the best by faaaaaaar
Dimitar Lalov football bruv.
Nice to see soccer on the top but why even make this list? It's like 99.9 percent subjective lol.
*football
Every watchmojo list is 100% subjective
Nah there's some objectivity. But this list is like almost completely subjective.
EmoBurrito123 Name one!Almost are all best something?There is no most grossing or something like that
Actually there are.
1. Go karting
2. Trail running
3. Mountain biking
4. Road biking
5. White water rafting/kayaking
+Danny Marx I find a constantly changing environment far more interesting than being stuck on the exact same, repetitive, unchanging sports ground for hours on end. People have different opinions, no need to hate.
Harry Kettle key word is play not saying that they are bad
Harry Kettle are you kidding me
Nothing comes close to matching the sheer joy of real football (not soccer). Baseball is every bit as boring to play as it is to watch. Soccer is just terrible. It is only so popular globally because of the reasons explained in this video - it is the only sport third world countries can play easily.
Lol troll!
One of their criteria was accessibility. You obviously don't listen. You're idea of real football is where they they don't use their feet at all other than the punter and obviously to stand on them, that just isn't enough to call a sport football.
Yes, someone who understands me. Thank you. You just made my day. Hail FOOTBALL. Not soccer. The most Godawful sport we have today.
David Peacock Obviously you've never watched football before. They do use their feet on kick off, kicking, and punting. Noob.
Football is more than a game! It's an art form! Absolutely anybody can enjoy playing it but honed players are artists! It's not just brute force as it's American counterpart!
This is the most fucking opioniated list ever mojo. This shouldn't be a list. Just because people recommend it doesn't mean you should make it a list. Like what the Fuck don't make a list about which sport Is better than the other.
You vote on it, WatchMojo just makes a vid based on the votes.
wat! Lax is a honorable mention! in my book its #1
10- Golg
9-Boxing
8-Cricket
7-Table tennis
6- Basketball
5-Volley ball
4-Long distance running
3-Sprinting
2-Swimming
1- AND THE BEST SPORT TO EVER EXIST OF ALL TIME IS TENNIS!!!!!!!!!!!
Can someone PLEEEASE get it right? Its Football, Not soccer.
Magnus Holmquist in America, soccer is getting it right
A.J. Accornero and thats stupid. Why did they make up the word soccer in the first place? Because they wanted a good football themselves? There is only 1 football.
Because people in America call it that
Tennis is more fun than football. Are u kinning me
X beastxedits X At last someone said that thank you tennis is the best by far
Football (Soccer) beats all. Deal with it😎⚽️
True that.
lol gay
+hockeytalk13 just because hockey isn't as popular as football you're calling him gay. Deal with reality because hockey is a game for savages who like checking people into the glass board thing and is only played in Canada and USA. So shut up you butthurt hockey fan.
+sami playsgames hockey is a real sport that requires skill and toughness. Unlike pathetic soccer where you run around faking injuries while not touching a polka dot ball with your hands. Not to mention the game is like 4 hours long and they can only score once on those huge nets. What an absolute joke. So shut up baby soccer fan
Says you butthurt just because hockey is played in two nations. Soccer actually requires skills if you watch it and trust me hockey requires no skill I seen Crosby and others play before. You should just admit that soccer is the top sport in the world because even the world's biggest sporting event is the FIFA world cup. And all these singers are all soccer fans what does hockey have ? Nothing.
Idc about anyone my fav are:
Football,Badminton,Cricket,MMA,Boxing,Basketball,Ice Hockey,Table and Lawn Tennis

Love how butthurt the rest of the world gets that we don't play their little game.
Rbeo22 your sports aren't as good as you think😊Football (soccer) is so much better than every sport you can think off
RBEO22
Ik right, let us like what we wanna like. You know pretty much everywhere you go there will be at least a few people who like something you don't, get over it. I'm a professional bowler and I don't get butt hurt every time someone tries to tell me it's not a sport, or it's boring. I usually say "If you can beat me in a game you can say it's not a sport." Haha, their face always make me laugh.
it says most fun to play, not most popular....
popular and fun are two different words....Rice is popular too, does it mean it's any good?
