Why is football so popular in Europe and other 3rd world countries?

>5'8 and 130lbs
speak human

Because it takes skill to play and its a very competitive game.
American football is just a bunch of fucking useless retards bumping into each other.

This is peak American shitposting

It takes intellect to play football. It's why manlets like Messi can be good. And why there aren't giganegroes playing it (sans outliers like Adama Traore). Incidentally the latter is the main reason North Americans don't like the sport I suspect.

nigger, rugby is the chad sport of the world

football is popular among third world countries because all it requires is a ball which makes it perfect for children growing up in poverty.
and europeans can't get enough of bbc

What's the appeal of sports? It's just the same dull meaningless shit over and over. Are you supposed to self-insert into the players or something?

It's easy as fuck to play, everyone can be good at it, the rules are super easy for the most part and you don't need a lot of gear, just a ball (or anything that can be kicked), some free space, and at least one thing that somewhat resembles a goal. It's a sport that was established 170 years ago, but people had kicked balls around way earlier already, it's nothing you couldn't wrap your head around. And it grew organically, no franchises etc. For decades, football was the activity of the common man, it was cheap to watch and open to everyone. Traditions grew and people became attached to local teams.

the average soccer player would literally die if they stepped onto an NFL field.

non-meme answer; Brits spread it all over the world and you only need a ball shaped object to play so it's accesible for everyone.

You can ask that about any hobby. Well not the self-insertion part, that's just autism.

this is not the regular XI
stop cherrypicking you danish cunt
t.has never watched sport on a regular basis

humans like to watch other humans throw and kick objects

And average handegg player would slip if he stepped to ice rink

This

Soccer players are very unimpressive atheltheiclly. Ronaldo supposdly has a 30 inch vertical which would have him as one of the worst jumping ability in the NFL, Ryan Fitzpatrick is an unatheltic qb and even he has a 33 inch vertical. Ronaldo also has a 40 yard dash time around 4.6 seconds which is incredibly slow for someone who only weighs around 190lbs.

Yeah soccer is very skilled but let's be real the guys who play it look like nerds. Rugby players get absoulty mogged by guys in the NFL if we compare size and lifting stats as well

You're thinking of cricket mate.

who cares they're all african multimillionaires

sports are pozzed

I think we can all agree that baseball is the most boring sport ever, right? Not even golf is as boring.

>lbs
>inch

football requires endurance and mental strength, cope harder nflFAGGOT

Cricket, rugby, football, darts, snooker/billiards, tennis, golf, lot of stuff is from here that people play all over

>this negro can jump this high
what the fuck is it with americans and their pet canada

you need bats for cricket and a ball that bounces. You can play football with some rags tied around a tin can if you need to.

>l need my sports stars to be giant roided giganiggas with 50lbs of armour on

Faggot who is too worried about the players physique.
I don't give a shit. The player can be an obese son of a bitch, all I care is about him scoring a goal and my team winning. It's only faggots like Canadians and mutts who cares about PHYSIQUE ATTRIBUTES.

>following any type of mainstream sport in 2020
yikes man
