It's not Ice Hockey that is the third most popular sport but actually Field Hockey. Baseball however is in the top ten as it is also very popular in many South East Asian countries, especially Japan.
ppl that are complaining about American football not being in the list go suck its only popular in the states no one else gives a fuck about it. Football "soccer" will always be #1
I'm American and I love football (soccer). The football to most Americans is throwing a ball and catching and pilling onto the person that has the ball. Completely dumb and useless.
I don't know what planet your living on if you disagree with football (soccer) being #1. It's a fact that its the most popular sport in the world in terms of both spectating and playing. A lot of Americans will have a hard time believing that, but if you step outside of America for even a second you'll realize how big it is worldwide, and with reason, that's why its called the beautiful game...
I'm going to be fair and honest and the top 10 below are what I think are the most popular sports and have biggest fan bases in the world. 1. Football (Soccer) 2. Cricket 3. Rugby 4. Tennis 5. Hockey 6. Athletics 7. Motor Racing 8. Basketball 9. Gymnastics 10. Badminton This is what I personally think are the most popular/exciting sports but I may be wrong here and there but although American sports are good, they're not popular in the rest of the world compared to the sports above.
American Football and Baseball are most certainly NOT the most popular sports in the world but they are the most popular sports in North America. In terms of fan bases, American Football and Baseball is nowhere near to Real Football, Cricket, Rugby etc.
I hate how Americans are always saying how their sports are the most popular in the world (and I'm American). It just seems like we're oblivious to everyone else. And we're so damn stubborn too.
I come from finland where the ice hockey is the biggest sport . still the ice hockey shouldent be in top 10 . there is only 6 countries that does take it seriously ... think about the basket ball... the whole europe plays it and america and it lower than the ice hockey i dont think so...
i like your video and all but here's my order: 1.Football 2.Soccer 3.Basketball 4.Baseball 5.Tennis 6.Hockey 7.Volleyball 8.Bowling 9.Racketball 10.Ping pong But remember, this is from where i live so if where you live it is not in this order, than please don't be rude when you comment
@supermario12a FOOTBALL (Soccer) In The US Is A PASSION Baseball United States Football Hockey Basketball Are Sports Basketball United States Football Hockey Baseball Have No Passion FOOTBALL (Soccer) Is The World's Game
Number two and growing fast, North America will wake up to the beautiful game sometime in the next ten years then we will rule the globe. If your friends don't like cricket, get new friends.
You have a big mistake there... Hockey is maybe nr.3 or 2 - with cricket - but man - it is FIELD hockey...not ICE hockey... :-))) it looks that you are not so inteligent :-)
@macd007 Soccer is easily the most popular sport in the world but i think some of your arguments are flawed. Sure, if you put a ball on the ground, a toddler will kick it, but if you put it in their hand, they will throw it. And there are only 3 American sports. Football is still such a young sport, so you can't judge it yet. Baseball is very popular and played in Asia, Latin America, and parts of Africa. Basketball is popular almost everywhere! Over 200 countries are members of FIBA.
@tifishe You kidding me baseball ??? nobody loves it boring sports in asia nobody knows how to play it haha you make a fool out of you 1) Soccer 2) cricket and still growing i guess....
Lolz I love how people are like all u have to do is kick a soccer ball. Im dutch so its football where Im from. No u don't just have to kick a soccer ball, u also have to be sprinting up and down the field non stop for 45 minutes, then a 10-15 min break and then its another 45 minutes of sprinting. In all american sports, they play for 5 seconds and then they wait for 30 minutes before they start playing again. Baseball and football are sports that show that Americans are fat and lazy and slow.
@Connorman789 please.. stop calling it soccer.. its not called soccer, theres 2 idiot countries that refuse to call it football
And btw, I lived in the US for a year.. They all insisted that American football was the most popular sport in the world, because nobody liked football. Just goes to show how they think USA is the whole world, and because nobody in the US likes football, then it cant be the most popular sport in the WORLD
If ignorance was a sport, USA would be world champions.
I'm a very good shooter when I'm open. I'm a three point shooting speicialist. Basketball is the most popular sport in my opinion. I love basketball so much.
OKAY! guys!!! let me make this clear for once and for all!!!!!!!! CRICKET is the best sport. these days, the sport is attracting billions of people. its getting more popular than ever. its not popular in only pak or ind.. its popular in eng, aus, srilanka, new zealand, south africa, and bla bla bla.. there are even soooo many cricket clubs in the US right now. everywhere u go in the parks, people are playing cricket. soo discussion is over. cricket is one of the most popular sports ever!!!!!!!!!
Those mar00ns don't know abt Cricket, rather try to know, cause to know this sport u need to ve ur brain..which they dont ve.. Now, insane mar00ns stay away from Cricket..we dont need u.. like pompei.. u should change ur name to "Pimp",, which is right name for u..show ur back..my cricket bat is cuming to ur way..to teach u how to play cricket..
I can bet, those mar00ns..if they will face one over (6balls) bowl by Styn, Akhtar,Tait or Brett Lee..all of u will do pee in ur pant..if wont faint
@surya1310 fact remains !! that cricket has no skill ..its to long and boring! what kind of work out can you get in cricket? football will always remain #1
No doubt Football and Cricket are the only two sports who had maniac fan followings. Does any1 come across, when India played Semi final against Pakistan in WC 2011. It is not only Asian sub continent...I ve seen my friends had taken half day leave in Aus, Eng, US (most were not from subcontinent). and, back India and Pak.. govt declared half day in schools collg, govt offices, all offices had special arranagement to watch the game. Does any sports ve similar impact apart from Soccer? ans is NO
Most Frequently Cited Ranked Lists 1) Football: 3.3-3.5 billion fans 2) Cricket: 2-3 billion fans 3) Field hockey: 2-2.2 billion fans 4) Tennis: Around 1 billion fans 5) Volleyball: Around 900 million fans 6) Table tennis: Around 900 million fans 7) Baseball: Around 500 million fans 8) Golf: Around 400 million fans 9) Gridiron (American football): 390-410 million fans 10) Basketball: Not more than 400 million fans
football is surely first and cricket surely second american football and basketball have extremely less spectators than cricket world cup(cricket) final had a total of 60000000 spectators
Basketball is overall the second most popular sport globally. It's second in Europe (South and East) and China. Very important in North America (NBA), Philipines, some African and Middle Eastern countries like Lebanon, Turkey, Israel. It's also quite popular in South America e.g Argentina, Puerto Rico, Brazil. Cricket? Not even close to that. Only England, Pakistan and India are interested in cricket.
@Dianatomia 67.6 million watched the cricket world cup final that Sri Lanka played in. Saying that only certain countries like certain sports is pigeon-holing everything. Not everyone in England likes cricket. People in other countries besides the ones you mentioned do. Cricket destroys basketball according to most reputable lists, basketball has under 400 million fans worldwide, cricket has 2-3 billion. Do a bit of research, you'll find it's true.
Ice hockey doesn't come close to top 5. Its soccer, cricket, basketball, rugby, field hockey, baseball top 6 for sure. Ice hockey pwns tho. GO LEAFS!!
Soccer=proffessional wrestling. Seriously? People in Rugby and MEN'S football(American and Canadian) get hit AS PART OF TE GAME!! In soccer however, if they get shoved, they fall and are injured. And plus, they FAKE FIGHTS AND SHOVES TO GET PENALTY SHOTS!!! I can only think, WWF.
@MyComedy2k your dome XD Anyways Soccer Is All About Strdegy No Hiting The Other Person This Sport Is Mans Romance To See. Anyways I play American Football 2 I Love Avery Sport In The World Like A Real Man Doze
@Dreamer6121 What about my 'dome'? What's 'stdegy'? What's 'Doze'? Doze means to sleep lightly, a dome is a semi sphere. And 'Avery' is a name commonly given to a male.
I think I get what you're saying: You're saying soccer is a stradegy game. INCORRECT. Soccer is proffessional(fake) wrestling. And sports aren't supposed to be 'Romance'. Romance is having a fine girl and making love.
@MyComedy2k Omg your so stupid romance means lots of thing not just love or a boy and girl , Romance can also mean sens of Adventure, Loving Something You Do, aND ambition A Man With-Out Romance Is Not be call A Man
@Dreamer6121 Just keep trying. Just keep trying. See, I don't want sport romance. Sports are supposed to make me want to get up off my ass and throw air punches and jump up and down. Football and Rugby make me want to do those things. And other sports like Mixed Martial Arts(UFC, Strikeforce, Cagefighting, etc.) give me that sense of greatness also. It makes me realize how great the world can be in the area of sports. Sports aren't made to give a sense of adventure. They're made for competition.
I think you nailed it on the first three. Football is undeniable number 1. Cricket, well yeah, India alone can make it number 2. And yes, Tennis, number 3 definitely. In fact I think that tennis might be more popular than cricket, not by number of people, but by number of countries. Tennis is popular in all populated continents, while cricket is basically ignored in most of America. Now, baseball number 4, as much as I love it, I think baseball is less popular than basketball internationally.
@sillentrami Unites who exactly? Unites fans to throw flares at another human, unites yobs to riot and stab other fans. As the famous saying goes "Football is a mans game, played by yobs"
@Hobofimls There is a American Football world championship FYI. Also, I just came back from the NFL game at Wembley, there were 85,000 people. More then most soccer games there. I met people from Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy, Poland, Ireland. Pretty much every european country. The NFL is expanding, because it's go something called Parity, look it up. You won't find it in Soccer.
@constantnag so ur saying that because one game containing 85000 idiots from some countries proves that american egg ball is more prestigious and entertaining than football (real football)?! fyi the world cup final contained 85000+ viewers in the field 1 million+ outside watching outside the stadium on a tv, millions in each country, as well as being the most watched event in the world recrord 1.75 BILLION!!! football unites all, and is growing not shrinking bitch!
of course football(the real one not the american) the world cup is even more watched than the olympics games... and the olympics it's about all soprts the worldcup it's just about football ... so what is the most popular soprt???
We can judge just by how many people tere r in general. cricket is popular realistiscally in only few countries. India holds the most fans. Jar for that reason that they have immense population it doesn't mean that is popular
I encourage everyone to play cricket. It might seem like a boring sport with a lot of rules but once you truly understand this game and know how to play, You won't look at any other sport..
@bharathreddy74 I think Cricket and Baseball are fun to play, but they are boring as hell to watch in my opinion. I follow cricket quite a lot and especially since England won the Twenty20 world cup and the Ashes. But watching test matches bores me shitless. I'd rather watch Football, Rugby or even American Football. Plus, Japan and Korea are big fans of Baseball.
2. Tennis (almost every country has players for this game)
3. Cricket (yes folks cricket, as much as I hate this sport, BILLIONS of people play this sport including India, all commonwealth countries including the entire West Indies)
4. Basketball (only because it is gaining lots of popularity)
no way, cricket and rugby is popular only in englad, india, australia and south africa, only in britsh colonies. American football is popular only in us and canada, and baseball is popular only in us, japan and cuba. Basketball and volleyball is popular all around the world.
@Branadaense Cricket is popular in the UK, Australia, South Africa, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and the West Indies....
So that means in has a HUGE fan base because India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Malaysia all have gigantic populations. India's is even set to overtake China in a couple of years because they are unable to put in effective birth control laws like China have already done.
1. Association Football 2. Cricket 3. Basketball 4. Volleyball 5. Field Hockey 6. Baseball 7. Ice Hockey 8. Rugby Union 9. Table Tennis 10. Golf Honerable mentions American Football, Tennis
Soccer : There is just no doubting this. Its not opinion, its documented, its FACT. Nearly half the world's population tunes into the World Cup (3 billion).
Cricket : Again, fact. Mainly to the fact that its the only mainstream sport in the entire Indian Subcontinent (Afghanistan to Bangladesh). Then you can add up Australia who rule the sport and England where it originated and S.Africa and blah blah (2.5 billion).
I cant speak for the other sports, but football and cricket are definitely no#1 and 2........ football is the game requiring speed, flexibility, accuracy, teamwork, strategy and awareness. not to mention a certain dexterity with your limbs. I dont know abt american football, but it doesnt look as exciting as football.
Cricket is a gentleman's game.............. one of the most exciting and unpredictable sports in the world. Anything can happen till the last second......
incorrect sir. 1. football 2. cricket 3. basketball 4. baseball 5. rugby 6. field hockey 7. volleyball 8. ice hockey 9. american football 10. lacrosse
@penaltyshot4 basketball is definately in the top 10 though... It not only has a big fan base in America, but a lot of Eastern European and Balkan countries play it too. It's also quite popular in China which makes A LOT of fans. Cricket and Hockey are only so high because they are the main sports in India.
@cstviz road hockey, street hockey, roller hockey is all part of ice hockey....same sticks, same net everything is same except u not on skates however field hockey has different nets different sticks...so u idiot theres only 2 types of hockey and ice hockey the toughest sport in the world but u wudent like cuz ur not a man now go watch ping pong
@fktheworld1 who also inveneted football (soccer) and rugby, from rugby came your american football, and we also made softball a game played by girls, and u made it into baseball, so wihtout us faggot brits youd have none of your own sports, ohh and also we made field hockey, which you copied and made ice hockey.
@jnb888 dam u brits r annoying just calm down there english men....we created hockey...ice and field hockey r totally different sports ice hockey is much better and played by real men no pussys from britsh cant play hockey that y u pussys play soccer and cricket LMAOOO
@fktheworld1 y do americans only like sports that our "tough", you guys are tryin to hard to look all macho ... o man im a american i dont like any sports that dont involve heavily padded men runnin into each other..... any sport other than hockey and football are for fags!!!! that makes you a little faggot. i bet your the type of guy that thinks gymnastics are for little weak fags to huh.
@jnb888 yup ur right gymnastices r for gay men really....and yes americans play only the toughest sports in the world we are not like pussy brits who love gay soccer for fagots.....sports like football, hockey and boxing take some balls to play ppl from around the world wud die if they played any american sport
@fktheworld1 you have to be strong to do gymnastics my friend, and yeh because theres no british boxers are there? american football is shit thats why no one else plays it and people around the worl play hockey to prick.
@fktheworld1 if its such a tough sport ...they dont protect their balls...you fuckin dork head...fuck you and gay hockey..which the world dont care about
@HuhPsycho stupid kid how the hell is basketball 2nd LMAOOO u r on drugs son.......just india alone is 1/6th of the worlds population and india is cricket crazy and ur saying no 1 gives a fuk about cricket....fuk nigger
@cstviz American football in the top ten? not even close... just because 60million people in America watch it doesn't make it one of the worlds top ten most popular sports... And I'm an American that loves American football!!
@pompei1968 LOLL hockey is a world sport and should be 3rd instead of 4th u dum shit its the main event in the olympics and gets over 1.3 billion views.....US is a gay country and got gay sport like baseball and gay football which no other country watches
@XxCondemnedConvictxX dude the usa and canada are like the only countrrys that play american football i honistly think its a stupid sport its just a cheep copy of rugby
Not EVEN all the american sports put together can compare to the popularity of FOOTBALL (soccer)...... Americans are fucking lazy and FOOTBALL demands the most physical and mental energy..... Its also the fastest growing sport in the USA another reason Americans don't play its because they can't be the best they rather not play it......
@adrean85si Hey soccer or as u call it football will be taken over by basketball as the most popular sport, in 20 years or so.......It's way more exciting then soccer & takes more skill......
@pettway2000 ya thats what they said 20 years ago!! basketball has more skill...by playing with your hands? even a 2 year old can play with his hands! try dribbling with your foot... heading a ball...crossing...then tell me which has more skill...and basketball has always the same stupid play!!! but no thakx..soccer will always be king of sports
@pompei1968 LOL a 2 year old can also run with a soccer ball and kick a ball but forget a 2 year old even a 20 year old cant even just stand on skates and let alone stick handle, shot a puck....then skating as fast as 35 mph, skating backwards, fighting while on skates, hitting on skates.....how hard is soccer? just get a ball and kick it thats it LOL
thats why is the most popular cuz its easy for pussys to play....now pussys like u cant play hockey or ull be dead hahhahaha
@fktheworld1 so your calling 2/3 of the world pussies wow that not to nice why do people rip on other sports just play your and ill play mine damn yes 2 year olds can run and kick a ball but can they run for 90 min and kick the ball up to like 70 mph i dont think so it is more of a sport of team work and skill than strength and brute force
hockey as in ice hockey is played by americans only.. where as cricket is a dominant sport in india,pakistan, bangladesh, sri lanka, nepal, afghanistan, aus., NZ, all english speaking countries in the Caribbean, UK and several african countries
i love cricket! best sport in the world!

@Dreamer6121 What about my 'dome'? What's 'stdegy'? What's 'Doze'? Doze means to sleep lightly, a dome is a semi sphere. And 'Avery' is a name commonly given to a male.
I think I get what you're saying: You're saying soccer is a stradegy game. INCORRECT. Soccer is proffessional(fake) wrestling. And sports aren't supposed to be 'Romance'. Romance is having a fine girl and making love.

@MyComedy2k Omg your so stupid romance means lots of thing not just love or a boy and girl , Romance can also mean sens of Adventure, Loving Something You Do, aND ambition A Man With-Out Romance Is Not be call A Man

@Dreamer6121 Thanks, but I'd like to say two things.
1. Why do you capitolize the first letter of every word. Shows to me that you have less of an education than my 2 year old son.
2. And I have romance, I can get laid any time I want to. You? Well, you can watch pro wrestiling/soccer and pretend it's romance.

@MyComedy2k Lol 1. I Capitolize Each Letter Because Is I Got Use To It.
2. You Dount Have The Sport Romance You Just Have The Boy And Girl Romance
Dreamer6121 1 year ago
@Dreamer6121 Just keep trying. Just keep trying. See, I don't want sport romance. Sports are supposed to make me want to get up off my ass and throw air punches and jump up and down. Football and Rugby make me want to do those things. And other sports like Mixed Martial Arts(UFC, Strikeforce, Cagefighting, etc.) give me that sense of greatness also. It makes me realize how great the world can be in the area of sports. Sports aren't made to give a sense of adventure. They're made for competition.
MyComedy2k 1 year ago
I think you nailed it on the first three. Football is undeniable number 1. Cricket, well yeah, India alone can make it number 2. And yes, Tennis, number 3 definitely. In fact I think that tennis might be more popular than cricket, not by number of people, but by number of countries. Tennis is popular in all populated continents, while cricket is basically ignored in most of America. Now, baseball number 4, as much as I love it, I think baseball is less popular than basketball internationally.

@Hobofimls There is a American Football world championship FYI. Also, I just came back from the NFL game at Wembley, there were 85,000 people. More then most soccer games there. I met people from Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy, Poland, Ireland. Pretty much every european country. The NFL is expanding, because it's go something called Parity, look it up. You won't find it in Soccer.

@constantnag so ur saying that because one game containing 85000 idiots from some countries proves that american egg ball is more prestigious and entertaining than football (real football)?! fyi the world cup final contained 85000+ viewers in the field 1 million+ outside watching outside the stadium on a tv, millions in each country, as well as being the most watched event in the world recrord 1.75 BILLION!!! football unites all, and is growing not shrinking bitch!

The second most popular sport TV wise is actually Formula 1.
Or you could call motorsport if you add F1, Moto GP and NASCAR.
Cricket only had 13 million viewers acording to Initiatives futures sports + entertainment report.
Baseball, basketball are higher and golf is no. 9 (surprisingly).
And athletics are also there (when there a world athletics championship).

@bharathreddy74 I think Cricket and Baseball are fun to play, but they are boring as hell to watch in my opinion. I follow cricket quite a lot and especially since England won the Twenty20 world cup and the Ashes. But watching test matches bores me shitless. I'd rather watch Football, Rugby or even American Football. Plus, Japan and Korea are big fans of Baseball.

@Branadaense Cricket is popular in the UK, Australia, South Africa, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and the West Indies....
So that means in has a HUGE fan base because India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Malaysia all have gigantic populations. India's is even set to overtake China in a couple of years because they are unable to put in effective birth control laws like China have already done.

Except No.1 and 2 all are guesses.
Soccer : There is just no doubting this. Its not opinion, its documented, its FACT. Nearly half the world's population tunes into the World Cup (3 billion).
Cricket : Again, fact. Mainly to the fact that its the only mainstream sport in the entire Indian Subcontinent (Afghanistan to Bangladesh). Then you can add up Australia who rule the sport and England where it originated and S.Africa and blah blah (2.5 billion).
Rest haven't been proven. Good day.

Cricket is a gentleman's game.............. one of the most exciting and unpredictable sports in the world. Anything can happen till the last second......
