Football (soccer), is famous worldwide because it is one of the oldest sports around. It originated in Europe (somewhere), and has been transplanted in every country a European has landed. Baseball, basketball, football (American), rugby, etc., are all becoming more popular, but they have only been around for a couple of hundred years, and, for the most part, only in one or two countries.

its like kool-aid packets. you try a few flavors then you find one that you like so much you dont bother with the other flavors anymore. even when they try to tempt you by mixing two flavors together or giving it a special edition package that catches your eye you still stick to that flavor you know you love. so now sports is your kool-aid and futbol is your favorite flavor

- You just need a ball
- You can play in various configuration (1vs1, 2vs2, goalkeeper/no goalkeeper...)
- I've been playing all around the globe: you don't need to speak any foreign language to play.
- it s just a great game.
