I think he missed the most important from fan perspective. It is hard to score. This means the best team doesn't always win. When you go to see your team play the champions, there is always the chance you could win. This isn't the case in sports with lots of points-the best almost always wins.
The ease of scoring doesn't matter nearly as much as the iteration of the contest. It is allowing more games that allow better teams to come out on top, not how a team performs in an individual game. It is why basketball has one of least upset prone leagues and the most upset prone league. The NBA has a best of four format for its championship tournament, which means the best team almost always wins. NCAA basketball has a 68 team single elimination tournament that is famous for almost always preventing the best team from winning.
@@phaetonsfolly9916 Fooball also has these alternative formats. The best team usually wins the league, but there are often upset surprise winners in knockout cup competitions. International competitions tend to combine them with mini leagues to select the last 16, which are then etered into a knockout competition. I admit I am not very familiar with basketball except there are scores like 72-54. In basketball is it possible for a lower league team to beat a top league team in an individual game? In football there are tactics available to weaker teams to avoid defeat and snatch a win.
@@gartner101 There's no formal league tier in basketball. NCAA (College) Basketball has informal tiers with conferences held in different regards, but they all share the same league. While there is strategy involved in basketball, it really comes down to individual performances. The major upsets usually occur with a player on the weaker team having a career night where they just can't miss, or when the better team just can't seem to make a shot. It really isn't different than association football where the game is ultimately decided by how well both teams make their shots. The fact one sport has easier shots to make doesn't change the underlying principle or tendency for upsets.
1- goals are rare 2- you can play if whatever the height, weight, strength, speed etc 3 - very easy to understand 4 - a team sport 5- anything can happen 6- goals can be scored in so many different ways from different positions, unlike basketball and rugby.
9. Any team can win, no matter how bad or low in the table. Having the best players on your team does not stop you from losing. In basketball just add 1 or 2 all stars u can become favourites.

For me it's simple. Even in basketball, which I realise can be exciting, the *amount of continuous points scored* and *the non-variety of possible shots* simply destroys (in most cases) any tension or excitement of an individual basket. In football, when a goal is scored, all hell breaks loose, because it's so relatively rare. EDIT: Also, literally anything can happen, the best team doesn't always win, which almost *never* happens in other sports. Every fan knows that through a bad ref call, a player mistake, or a shit tactic, their team can beat even the very best.
The thing with all the American sports is the constant ads. I like Basketball, but after awhile I couldn't watch it anymore because there would be 30 secs on the clock and it would be interrupted about 3 times and goes to Burger ads. The suspense completely disappears and I forget I'm watching the finals. And who the hell has 5 finals to decide the winner. Have 1, it's way more exciting. Americans just monetize everything to squize every penny out of people and I just stopped altogether because it just wasn't entertaining anymore.

Mark Burke yeah 4 quarters 15 minutes each and as you said it's very tactical and each team has 3 lineups attack defense and special teams so when a play fails they have to kick it with a different set of players and then the defence will come in so even if they didn't play commercials the game would still be interrupted so that a different lineup can come on.

It's all about excitement. Football by nature perfectly matches with humans' excitement instinct. You can't get it in similar magnitude from other sports. This is the main reason it's so popular.
I think the principal reason is more fundamental and that is the instinctive human desire to enjoy kicking something! If an empty can is lying on the pavement, the instinctive desire of someone coming across it is to kick it, even i we are conditioned to pick it up and dispose of it responsibly! Children who - by virtue of their age - are less socially conditioned, are also more likely to kick an object they come across on the pavement.
Yes football on its own is a universal sport if we were to leave the earth to teach aliens of the sport it would a sport that is universal simply because a ball is all is needed and that unites us as people when we play anywhere it unites people together
Smoke Sleet if you think those sports are more entertaining than football... then I guess we don’t have to talk about it no more... you just won’t get it.
Probroskillz_3213 shut the hell up kid, despite all the problems we have, America isn’t as bad as ppl say it is, plus, we do have baseball, football, and basketball all these sports make up America and it’s ppl ;))
dkguy 05 the problem people have with Americans is that they think that their way of life is better than in other countries. Although you weren’t trying to, you proved this point. Saying that you have baseball, basketball and American football implies that your sports are the best in the world, compared to football, which is a worldwide sport. Football doesn’t have any boundaries - race, country, class. That’s the beauty of it
In the states, football is not as appreciated as it is in Europe or South America. Usually a typical American kid would find it boring usually saying "in soccer you just kick the ball from goal to goal until you score," and as an American I was once in the same position. It was until I started playing and practicing and then discovering players like Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho in which I learned to play the sport. When I started watching European football(also became a Barcelona fan) and I met the older Messi videos on UA-cam I realized that this was the Jugo bonito that the whol world loved
Exactly and in most of the world American football is considered as stupid sports and just like those Americans who talk shit about football, these people don't actually know about American football. I love that sport as well(I'm not American btw).
@@mishagelenava2962 for a guy who loves NFL football you sure know how to insult it underhand. I don’t like american football, as i grew up watching regular football but i don’t think it is stupid. A bit complicated yes but the US loves it and that’s all that matters. They do have a great show for halftime at the Super Bowl and its commercials are some of the most if not THE most expensive to air. It takes a lot of physicality to run and tackle the opponent and their fans are very enthusiastic as well.
My reasons: 1 - Easy to play 2 - Can be watched easily without ad interruption 3 - Requirements are very low 4 - Goals are rare and exciting, and not continuos like the other sports. 5 - Upsets can occur and the best team doesn't always win, packing excitement and mixed emotions. 6 - Variety
nice, its a great explanation we can play football anywhere, in the alley, class room, living room in your house, backyard, and more places. And we excited for that when we just kick a ball to imaginary postpone
Basketball is not as accessible in poor countries. You need a hoop and the correct height. Football you just need a field and two goal posts with anything
It's a simple game, but technically very difficult. In contrast to other sports the ball is always loose and it's difficult to control it with your feet (holding (rugby) or passing (tennis) the ball with your hands is much easier). At the same time you can kick a ball way faster than you can throw it so it actually is the best way to pass it.
You forget that football have rare blow-out games driven by its difficulty to score, that also contributes to build up the tension of a goal. Also playing with your feet requires the highest level of skill and when its well made is naturally beautiful.
I mean everyone is passionate about what they grow up with, wherever they are from, whatever the sport is. I love American Football, but that's what I was raised with lol. All sports are beautiful!
I remember when me and my friends broke a window at school, we were playing football in class while the teacher wasn't there lol it's the most accessible sport in the world, you can play it anywhere. Greetings from brazil 💙
18:23 if you re from Africa u know that 4th rule isnt actually important cuz we got plastics bags an' trash and we d make a ball and bang it until dark.
It's simply because football is for everyone and is more fun than the other sports you mentioned, since all the matches can be played with different game styles. In addition, soccer brings together many physical and mental exercises, such as speed, jumping, aim, strength, intelligence, endurance and reflexes. Therefore, soccer is more difficult to master and practice than other sports, that is why South American athletes are more competitive than those from other continents.
Grace Hughes your still the dump one 8x8 is something that you would learn from school plus thats easy cake for child who is at the age of 6 years old these guys can speak 3 or more languages also their kids are very smart as well for them to go into a new league they sometimes have to learn a new language overnight for interviews and press conferences that's. not easy
He forgot something important. Wondering if your team will score or not, you have really bad games sometimes, and makes you appreciate when you see a goal, the crowd just go nuts and explodes. It is not the same as watching a basketball game or NFL game, where you know you will see some scores. Football or soccer does not guarantee you to have a good time (15% of the time). which makes the game even more addictive to a lot of people. Just look at the crowd in soccer celebrating, you won't see that in any other sport. For real.
Football is just way competitive Than any sport , it drives fans crazy And the passion is on another level No sport can come close to the passion of football, Its just better in everyway,
great video small quibbles for you. passing in gridiron has an extensive list of throw words just like your football list. types of runs and catches have similarly unending descriptions too
i have another theory, football is just simply the best sport it has everything and is for everyone the only other sport that can compete in many ways with football is basketball, but you almost exclusively have to be a giant human to play it so you cant really relate with the people playing it football on the other hands has all kinds of people playing it and they can all achieve greatness with their own style take for example 2 very different players who are almost similar in status, but completely different in body type and athleticism... Andres Iniesta and Cristiano Ronaldo, one of them is a superhuman machine of a person and the other one is not so different from your average accountant and yet he is one of the greatest players of all time there is no other sport than football that can give you so many things and be completely accessible for everyone who is capable at football, regardless of your physical characteristics or your background, 5'2 or 6'8...poor or rich, it doesnt matter...
Zz cc cricket has the same problem as the other sports like baseball, American rugby, tennis etc No dynamism and constant pauzes And honestly, its not even close to football in terms of elegance and beauty Thats why basketball is so good, it has a lot of flair and elegance too and its pretty dynamic
@@zinowor you maybe right but I find football to be quite boring same with basketball..There are some good moments in both games but it's very repetitive..In football it takes ages to score a goal on the other hand in basketball the team with the ball scores 95% of the time..
In soccer, the best player does not always win, for example, if we play Brazil against the United States, Brazil will attack a lot, and the United States, as it is known that Brazilians are good at dribbling and attacking, and nobody can stop them If left alone, the Americans must defend their goal only, defend themselves and not let them pass, and when the Brazilians are in their field, the Americans can quickly attack at the last minute and destroy them, it all depends on the technique they play and the player skills. rival, for example, it is known that the English have great speed and shoot from a distance at the goal, the Germans also, but the Latin teams are more dribbling and they approach the area to shoot or pass many passes or always have a player plays defining star
And it can stop wars & conflicts and bring people from different parts together. It has more influence than some presidents. It's basically a religion. I don't can understand how American can even compare their NFL or NBA to it LOL
tell me in what other sport you can play with just using like couple of stones and a tree to play..and what i like about football is that you don't even need anything to play except a ball, you can just pass it around and do some amazing tricks and have fun most importantly
@@rorymyers3050 it's a very simple game but very hard to explain..just watch a cricket explained video and then watch a cricket match (t20 match would be better for you to understand)..there isn't a lot of cricket videos in UA-cam cause they're strictly copyrighted..cricket highlights are not very enjoyable to watch compared to other sports..try watching a match you might like it..
the person who will bring his ball at the field his gonna be the leader of the game until we done he wont replaced either 🤣🤣🤣🤣some times I miss Africa soccer our games was always playing on Sunday 8:00am until at 11:23am
I am a sports fan. Football (well I am an American so I will say soccer) is growing in the U.S.A. I did learn a lot about Soccer. I do like the sport. This video is right you can play it anywhere. I played it on a tennis court one time in high school. The first basketball game was played with a soccer ball.
We have all seen matches that are 93+ Minutes back and forth with no goals while your sitting holding the edge of your seat, when suddenly what seems out of nowhere that last second goal happens.....For those that haven't experienced it, its something that can literally fill your heart with the deepest of elation or Tear it apart forever in a million pieces...... No other sport has such emotionally constructive or destructive power.
another thing about football is that we can play it with anyone what i mean is in basketball you need to know how to shoot and dribble in cricket you need to know how to bowl or bat in tennis you need to know how to serve and hit the ball with the racket but in football you can play with anyone just to make team who can just kick a ball you can make them a goalie or defender and it will still be fun.
@NO CRINGE I know cricket has variations but only the T20 and Odi formats have emotions. The real form of cricket is just slow and boring with absolutely no creativity and just playing the same shot on every ball 😂 It is really a test... Of patience. Decent to play but boring to watch.
@NO CRINGE you'll be the only person to say that. If you think football is not action packed then I don't know what to say. Only the run chases in cricket actually make it interesting and that happens only in odi and T20. Those forms were created only because the original cricket was boring and did not appeal to the people. I was a huge cricket fan (still am) before I started watching football. Two similar goals in football are the rarest to find whereas in cricket you see the same shot played right after the other. I dont know how you call football repetitive.
Well one thing is missing. Portuguese merchants brought the sport to Portugal at the in the 19th century. We then introduced it to Brazil where the sport exploded to the Spanish colonies. So its not just England. Great video!
Was never Portugal that brought the game to Brazil.Was Charles Miller a Brazilian that went to study in England,while there learn the game and when back brought two balls with him.
@@Morrisopolous i dont wanna tell you what we have invented coz we are champions at our game.. But the thing England have invented football and cricket both are most watched games but at the end of the day you dont have any worldcups from both sides😂 because you guys give importance to club games than worldcup i guess.. Let your Manchester city or United play worlcup they will win worlcup for you
I would include another reason: Because of its scoring system, football is a sport where the weaker team has a real chance of not losing -- so you can always expect to do well, even when unlikely. This is much more complex in basketball, volleyball, handball, tennis and all these high score sports.
I was NOT expecting to see my beatiful home, Levante's Stadium Ciutat de Valencia in this video 15:38. And that strike from the Balcan beckham Bardhi!! get in! Great video, but I think it boils down to the simple fact that you don't even need a ball to play it and the basic playground rules are so simple that anyone can get the hang of it by watching 5 mins of it
I think the most beautiful and poetic thing i have heard about football is that, Football is literally in all of our DNA, You can picture thousands of years ago our ancient ancestors walking through the savannas and deserts, kicking rocks as they walked from area to area.....nothing is more primordial
It is fairly simple game but can be so beautiful at times. The most important thing about is that you can win or lose a game in one possession. One mistake could lose you the game. That's something not relatable to most sports.
I agree Football they allow people of all physicality to have success. For example Muller who isn't know for speed or dribbling is a Bayern legend due to his ability to judge space. Messi would never enter most American sports due to his small height and body, but he can be a GOAT in football because its a sport where there are physical limitations. Even Garrincha who had a physical disability on his feet is a legend due to his technique and dribbling skills. Most American Football players have to be 6 ft or more, weigh 200+, and needs to be strong and explosive. Basketball almost everyone is freakishly tall and super explosive.
the offside is the most confuaing part of football. a beginner wont be able to understand offside even of you explained it to him 100 times because it doesnt make sense.
In my opinion it's simply the sport that shows the difference in skill the best and the biggest. It's not 100% athleticism. It's more about what you can do with the ball.
So let me get this straight, you are a man and prefer soccer to American football? That’s like totally insane.!You realize that if you grew up with our football that you’de easily understand why it’s so much better than soccer. Trust me we grew up with both, so we know. Meanwhile your in Africa so all you got is soccer. If soccer is so loved in Africa why aren’t any African teams ever good?
@@philmccracken179 How many times did Ghana beat US in the world cup? The British empire introduced football to their colonies. How did the US introduce basketball, American football, and baseball to the rest of the world? The US basketball teams even recruit those from their colleges, and if you don't find yourself there you are likely not to play in their league.
perhaps one Reason for football domination against rugby was the olympic rugby final fron olympics games in paris in 1904 (i thinks it's 1904). the final between usa( usa was olympic champ 4 years before) and France was so brutal than the rugby was out off olympics games and was praticaly allowed in usa. this game change the story for rugby and football.

"in football there is no prostitution of score, EVERY GOAL IS UNIQUE, just like the best moments in life "

I think the principal reason is more fundamental and that is the instinctive human desire to enjoy kicking something! If an empty can is lying on the pavement, the instinctive desire of someone coming across it is to kick it, even i we are conditioned to pick it up and dispose of it responsibly! Children who - by virtue of their age - are less socially conditioned, are also more likely to kick an object they come across on the pavement.
Yes football on its own is a universal sport if we were to leave the earth to teach aliens of the sport it would a sport that is universal simply because a ball is all is needed and that unites us as people when we play anywhere it unites people together
The sport is so simple as well.
What if the aliens dont have legs
Excitement?! I can´t think of other sport (besides maybe baseball) more boring than soccer...
Americans: So why do you like football so much
Literally everybody else: *You wouldn’t get it*
Because we have basketball football and baseball all of which are way more entertaining
@@smokesleet1340 get out
Smoke Sleet if you think those sports are more entertaining than football... then I guess we don’t have to talk about it no more... you just won’t get it.
Probroskillz_3213 shut the hell up kid, despite all the problems we have, America isn’t as bad as ppl say it is, plus, we do have baseball, football, and basketball all these sports make up America and it’s ppl ;))
dkguy 05 the problem people have with Americans is that they think that their way of life is better than in other countries. Although you weren’t trying to, you proved this point. Saying that you have baseball, basketball and American football implies that your sports are the best in the world, compared to football, which is a worldwide sport. Football doesn’t have any boundaries - race, country, class. That’s the beauty of it
In the states, football is not as appreciated as it is in Europe or South America. Usually a typical American kid would find it boring usually saying "in soccer you just kick the ball from goal to goal until you score," and as an American I was once in the same position. It was until I started playing and practicing and then discovering players like Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho in which I learned to play the sport. When I started watching European football(also became a Barcelona fan) and I met the older Messi videos on UA-cam I realized that this was the Jugo bonito that the whol world loved
Exactly and in most of the world American football is considered as stupid sports and just like those Americans who talk shit about football, these people don't actually know about American football. I love that sport as well(I'm not American btw).
@@mishagelenava2962 for a guy who loves NFL football you sure know how to insult it underhand. I don’t like american football, as i grew up watching regular football but i don’t think it is stupid. A bit complicated yes but the US loves it and that’s all that matters. They do have a great show for halftime at the Super Bowl and its commercials are some of the most if not THE most expensive to air. It takes a lot of physicality to run and tackle the opponent and their fans are very enthusiastic as well.
My reasons:
1 - Easy to play
2 - Can be watched easily without ad interruption
3 - Requirements are very low
4 - Goals are rare and exciting, and not continuos like the other sports.
5 - Upsets can occur and the best team doesn't always win, packing excitement and mixed emotions.
6 - Variety
nice, its a great explanation
we can play football anywhere, in the alley, class room, living room in your house, backyard, and more places. And we excited for that when we just kick a ball to imaginary postpone
Yes
Its the most accessible to poor people which, the majority of the world is.
It's the most popular sport in Europe and was invented in Europe, which is wealthy. Although originally it was a working class game.
alex ojideagu nowadays there are a lot of pg clean (dark pigmented) people from colonies and they don‘t have any money but just a ball
Like basketball isn't easy accessible?
Basketball is not as accessible in poor countries. You need a hoop and the correct height. Football you just need a field and two goal posts with anything
Godson Michael Meh it isn’t easy to find a hoop in Africa
Because it is gracious, beautiful, simple. It's the best sport. Simple.
It's a simple game, but technically very difficult. In contrast to other sports the ball is always loose and it's difficult to control it with your feet (holding (rugby) or passing (tennis) the ball with your hands is much easier). At the same time you can kick a ball way faster than you can throw it so it actually is the best way to pass it.
@@sirquasi noo
Exactly ! Simple game for simple people
This is the most important reason for the spread of football/soccer.
@@philmccracken179 why being childesh?😂 Your pfp looks like you're 40 maybe...
You forget that football have rare blow-out games driven by its difficulty to score, that also contributes to build up the tension of a goal. Also playing with your feet requires the highest level of skill and when its well made is naturally beautiful.
Football, the best sport ever!

It's simply because football is for everyone and is more fun than the other sports you mentioned, since all the matches can be played with different game styles. In addition, soccer brings together many physical and mental exercises, such as speed, jumping, aim, strength, intelligence, endurance and reflexes. Therefore, soccer is more difficult to master and practice than other sports, that is why South American athletes are more competitive than those from other continents.

Wow good video very informative. Hope it reaches 1mil soon!
He forgot something important. Wondering if your team will score or not, you have really bad games sometimes, and makes you appreciate when you see a goal, the crowd just go nuts and explodes. It is not the same as watching a basketball game or NFL game, where you know you will see some scores. Football or soccer does not guarantee you to have a good time (15% of the time). which makes the game even more addictive to a lot of people. Just look at the crowd in soccer celebrating, you won't see that in any other sport. For real.
I am a cricket fan but I have to agree football is as dynamic and enjoyable as cricket or may be even more
Great video bro, also lmao funny!!😂
Dude, great work!
Football is just way competitive
Than any sport , it drives fans crazy
And the passion is on another level
No sport can come close to the passion of football,
Its just better in everyway,
Amazing video! Also you can play it 2v2 3v3 4v4 5v5 etc. you dont need two full teams to enjoy and practice
great video small quibbles for you. passing in gridiron has an extensive list of throw words just like your football list. types of runs and catches have similarly unending descriptions too

i have another theory, football is just simply the best sport
it has everything and is for everyone
the only other sport that can compete in many ways with football is basketball, but you almost exclusively have to be a giant human to play it so you cant really relate with the people playing it
football on the other hands has all kinds of people playing it and they can all achieve greatness with their own style
take for example 2 very different players who are almost similar in status, but completely different in body type and athleticism... Andres Iniesta and Cristiano Ronaldo, one of them is a superhuman machine of a person and the other one is not so different from your average accountant and yet he is one of the greatest players of all time
there is no other sport than football that can give you so many things and be completely accessible for everyone who is capable at football, regardless of your physical characteristics or your background, 5'2 or 6'8...poor or rich, it doesnt matter...
Well said! It truly is the sport of the people.
Well put sir. Here's 1k
Same with cricket..
Zz cc cricket has the same problem as the other sports like baseball, American rugby, tennis etc
No dynamism and constant pauzes
And honestly, its not even close to football in terms of elegance and beauty
Thats why basketball is so good, it has a lot of flair and elegance too and its pretty dynamic
@@zinowor you maybe right but I find football to be quite boring same with basketball..There are some good moments in both games but it's very repetitive..In football it takes ages to score a goal on the other hand in basketball the team with the ball scores 95% of the time..
In soccer, the best player does not always win, for example, if we play Brazil against the United States, Brazil will attack a lot, and the United States, as it is known that Brazilians are good at dribbling and attacking, and nobody can stop them If left alone, the Americans must defend their goal only, defend themselves and not let them pass, and when the Brazilians are in their field, the Americans can quickly attack at the last minute and destroy them, it all depends on the technique they play and the player skills. rival, for example, it is known that the English have great speed and shoot from a distance at the goal, the Germans also, but the Latin teams are more dribbling and they approach the area to shoot or pass many passes or always have a player plays defining star
that's called a strategy.
that's the beauty of football
0:52 that guy was Naruto running
Its a global phenomenon... The beauty is anyone can play it and everywhere... Simple rules and fun
And it can stop wars & conflicts and bring people from different parts together. It has more influence than some presidents. It's basically a religion. I don't can understand how American can even compare their NFL or NBA to it LOL

tell me in what other sport you can play with just using like couple of stones and a tree to play..and what i like about football is that you don't even need anything to play except a ball, you can just pass it around and do some amazing tricks and have fun most importantly

I am a sports fan. Football (well I am an American so I will say soccer) is growing in the U.S.A. I did learn a lot about Soccer. I do like the sport. This video is right you can play it anywhere. I played it on a tennis court one time in high school. The first basketball game was played with a soccer ball.
Lemme simplify the video.
Because it's best sport
Because it has the most potential for freedom and variety.
We have all seen matches that are 93+ Minutes back and forth with no goals while your sitting holding the edge of your seat, when suddenly what seems out of nowhere that last second goal happens.....For those that haven't experienced it, its something that can literally fill your heart with the deepest of elation or Tear it apart forever in a million pieces...... No other sport has such emotionally constructive or destructive power.
another thing about football is that we can play it with anyone
what i mean is in basketball you need to know how to shoot and dribble
in cricket you need to know how to bowl or bat
in tennis you need to know how to serve and hit the ball with the racket
but in football you can play with anyone just to make team who can just kick a ball you can make them a goalie or defender and it will still be fun.
from 16:26 starts the best part of the video.
@NO CRINGE just 20. In football, you can create any kind of goal you can imagine.
@NO CRINGE I know cricket has variations but only the T20 and Odi formats have emotions. The real form of cricket is just slow and boring with absolutely no creativity and just playing the same shot on every ball 😂
It is really a test... Of patience. Decent to play but boring to watch.
@NO CRINGE you'll be the only person to say that. If you think football is not action packed then I don't know what to say. Only the run chases in cricket actually make it interesting and that happens only in odi and T20. Those forms were created only because the original cricket was boring and did not appeal to the people. I was a huge cricket fan (still am) before I started watching football.
Two similar goals in football are the rarest to find whereas in cricket you see the same shot played right after the other. I dont know how you call football repetitive.
footbool is life (africa)

Well one thing is missing. Portuguese merchants brought the sport to Portugal at the in the 19th century. We then introduced it to Brazil where the sport exploded to the Spanish colonies.
So its not just England.
Great video!
Was never Portugal that brought the game to Brazil.Was Charles Miller a Brazilian that went to study in England,while there learn the game and when back brought two balls with him.

Greetings from Germany
Football can be played anywhere by anyone with minimal injuries and is highly addictive once you get the hang of it. Now compare that to rugby
Power in simplicity
I would include another reason: Because of its scoring system, football is a sport where the weaker team has a real chance of not losing -- so you can always expect to do well, even when unlikely. This is much more complex in basketball, volleyball, handball, tennis and all these high score sports.

I think the most beautiful and poetic thing i have heard about football is that, Football is literally in all of our DNA, You can picture thousands of years ago our ancient ancestors walking through the savannas and deserts, kicking rocks as they walked from area to area.....nothing is more primordial
Punished Venom Snake maybe they kicked squirrels
It is fairly simple game but can be so beautiful at times. The most important thing about is that you can win or lose a game in one possession. One mistake could lose you the game. That's something not relatable to most sports.
I agree Football they allow people of all physicality to have success. For example Muller who isn't know for speed or dribbling is a Bayern legend due to his ability to judge space. Messi would never enter most American sports due to his small height and body, but he can be a GOAT in football because its a sport where there are physical limitations. Even Garrincha who had a physical disability on his feet is a legend due to his technique and dribbling skills. Most American Football players have to be 6 ft or more, weigh 200+, and needs to be strong and explosive. Basketball almost everyone is freakishly tall and super explosive.
So no one here like football for the skill play in football? I thought it was the most

perhaps one Reason for football domination against rugby was the olympic rugby final fron olympics games in paris in 1904 (i thinks it's 1904). the final between usa( usa was olympic champ 4 years before) and France was so brutal than the rugby was out off olympics games and was praticaly allowed in usa. this game change the story for rugby and football.
