Is FOOTBALL (soccer) the greatest show on earth??

Football is definitely the greatest show on earth and it is amazing how it can affect many lives. Look at Ivory Coast. It is suffering from war for many years until soccer intervene and the seize fire happened.

For me, it's just a game and i enjoy it. But other things are extreme out of it and i don't accept with those. I like the game and i watch it more . Everybody has their own interest on which is the best sport ever. Some would strongly believe athletics is the best form of the game in the world.. Do u know what i prefer? I like the Computer gaming NFS most Wanted is the best game and it is the best show for me... Just for Fun !!

Its very personal i think and reagional because there is countries where football is not top1 sport. In my country sport number one certainly is ice hockey which is much more agressive, faster and for fans much more thrilling sport. But i like football too and those crowded football stadiums in the worlds biggest football loving countries like brasil, England, Spain, italy and many others is amazing!

Football is also called the KING OF GAMES because no other sport has such huge following and crowd.Football for me is really one of the most important things in my life.The best thing i like about it is that it is a team game and each and every player sweats and contributes for the teams performance.It is a very passionate,fast,interesting,emotional qualities of this sport that draws huge fan following from all over the world.

I think that no other sport can generate so much passion than our football. I don't know how basketball or baseball fan act during a game in the USA, but I know how it is when a football game is played in Europe(especially in Eastern and Southern Europe) and in South America. And we have seen have Asians and Africans have acted during WC 2002 and WC 2010. I think that football can unify nations, countries and generate wonderful emotions and passions. And the joy and happiness which a football fan feels when the favorite team wins a major competition cannot be compared to anything in the world. Many have said, both players and fans, that it is like the feeling when their child has born or even better. Recently, a fan who cannot walk that he wants his team to win the national championship better than he wants to walk again. You can imagine that football has enormous influence on people and it is very shame that it becomes more and more a business.

i dont know whether the football soccer is the greatest show on earth or not. i am from china. and never watch this kind of ball. becaus our sprots men do it so bad. so its popular with western people and country . and they are good in this sports. however. i pay little attenthion to this sprot game. so i don;t think its good in the world when it has no market in china. thank you .

I think it is the best sport by far, but I would not call it a show necessarily, even though I guess it can be from time to time... But yes, I agree that there is no sport like it!

Hello david I am totally sure soccer is the greatest show on earth. We brazilians worship soccer. Everyone plays in school, streets, fields, etc.etc. anywhere plain where you can roll a ball. Volley is also a nice sport but I don't like it so much. Baseball, if you find someone playing it around here, you're lucky. By the ways my favourite soccer team is playing now. Bye!
