Sorry I disagree. Football is more exciting to many if for no other reason the score is more than 1-0 or games do not end in 1-1.

Also you act like football is not being played by kids at young ages. There are leagues all over our area where every Saturday and Sunday kids that can barely keep a helmet on their head are playing every single weekend. I pass a park where kids play soccer and there are not the amount of teams I see playing football and certainly not the group playing basketball.

And they gamble in soccer all over the world. Some of the biggest scandals in soccer across the world have been based on gambling. I do not see fantasy soccer being played for a sport that scores only a few times an entire game. It is also not apart of our culture like it is in other countries. When I went to South Africa all that was on TV was soccer and rugby. When the South African team was playing, the entire country was on lock down and everyone was watching. Even with the minimal popularity we have here, the entire country is not just watching soccer.
