What makes you follow micro-sports such as basketball, baseball, or American football? Think about that for a second. The sport you follow, no matter what it is, is nothing more than a "micro" sport compared to soccer.
The game I and the rest of the world follow is the No. 1 sport in 226 countries around the globe. There are less than 40 countries where soccer isn't No. 1, which includes the U.S.A. Our World Cup stops the planet, a world cup 10 times bigger than the Olympic games in popularity and in viewership.
Here is a list of where soccer is not No. 1:
Baseball is No. 1 in nine different countries which include the United States, Panama, Venezuela, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Japan, Nicaragua, Northern Marianas, China, and Taipei.
Played in eight countries, Cricket is No. 1 in British Guyana, Antigua and Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Australia.
Rugby is played in six different countries, which include Fiji, Western Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand, Wales, and the Cook Islands.
Basketball is No. 1 in five countries: the Philippines, Lithuania, Puerto Rico, Marshall Islands, and the Bahamas.
Following behind is Ice Hockey, which is No. 1 in four countries including Canada, Finland, Latvia, and Estonia.
The other sports are all tied with being No. 1 in only one country. Archery: Bhutan; Wrestling: Mongolia; AFL: Nauru; and Gaelic Football: Ireland Republic.
The rest of the 226 countries in the world, is where soccer is No. 1, which means the citizens go mostly to soccer games, watch mostly soccer, eat, drink, and live soccer most of their lives.
