What is the most attended or watched sport in the world?
Whether based on most fans or most participants or whatever the definition of popular, World Football / Soccer is top of the list. Most information points to the most watched sport as football (soccer), though using online audiences can be biased with regional differences in support for certain sports (e.g. US sports such as basketball, baseball and American football). When discussing popular sports around the world, the sports most played is often considered, not just what people like to watch (there is a difference). Soccer is played in the streets by millions of kids worldwide, though they are not always counted on the most played sports lists as they do not participate in organized games and are not easily counted.

No..handball is where you bounce a ball against a wall with your hand. We call it soccer, you call it football..just let it go at that.

Sheila Peterson, you wouldn't, you're probably one of those Americans that live in the American bubble.

Easy question. Nearly every country in the world is avid "footballers" except the USA.

Association (soccer) Football is just one code. It is the best and most popular mind.

No a question as letting it go at that, you yanks have always got to be different, the rest of the world call it football and as England invented the game its football end of chat.

It's far more fast paced than American football is. More tense moments, greater speeds.

Ezequiel N Romero, I have seen American football a couple of times. Its much rougher and tougher than a pansy game like soccer.

Its really sad. That most people would prefer to sit and watch others play when they should be up doing their own sports instead of lying on their lazy bums.
