Best Sport In The World

Soccer is the sport played most consistently around the world. The rules are pretty simple. Give or take a few offsides, corner kicks and yellow vs red card rules. It is just about getting the ball into the net without using your hands. What could be easier to understand that? Another cool reason why because you can play soccer anywhere and anytime, there is never a bad time for a quick match. Size matters less than agility and speed, soccer may be the professional team sport where size matters the least. It is still athletically rigorous, you have to be in amazing shape to keep up because you are basically sprinting up and down for 90-plus minutes. Meanwhile, World Cup brings the entire planet together, basically give everyone one VERY important reason to party. The FIFA World Cup is the world’s most widely viewed sports event. Around 715 million people watched the 2006 final match in Germany. Most sports get an “offseason”, soccer doesn’t. For most top-flight players, there is a league season, a league cup, club championship, and international games going all on once. It is the sport that never ends.
