If soccer/football didn't exist, what would the world be like and what would be the world's new most played sport?
Umm, well there would be less violent crimes and fewer riots in the places where soccer is so widely cherished.

If it didn't exist, I guess Baseball would probably be the next big global thing. It's played in almost as many places in the world.

Then he might not have any sports. Soccer is pretty much the most basic sport besides rugby.

Hitler would be ruling the world. Without football no one would of had anything to fight for in World War 2, so we would of just let Hitler win and glummly went to watch the table tennis championships.

Rugby is the second most popular sport by the way. Actually you might be right about basketball, but in terms of world competition rugby seems far more prominent.

Also to those saying there would be less riots and stuff, did it ever occur to you that the hooligans would not dissapear? They would just move onto another sport.

There would be golf riots.

Seriously though, its an obvious trend to me that as sports get more violent, the spectators are more well behaved. The sissy sports like soccer cause massive emotional distress for some people and they feel the need to break things.

In Australia, I've always found rugby fans the most well behaved, AFL after, and well... I havent been to a soccer/football game (can you blame me?) so I'll go off other countries and say that they are the most violent.

Better FOOTBALL then the retardation that is "American Football"

If you carry the fucking ball, how is it a "FOOT-ball"?
For the exact same reason you drive on a parkway yet park in a driveway.

If football didn't exist, a few places would be better off.

Seriously, in the 70s and early 80s football was alive. Men who had a normal job turned up at their pitch every Saturday and played. They weren't getting paid that much, but that's not why they did it.

Nowadays, footballers are paid more in a week than nurses are in a year, and if they so much as flick their wrists they have to stop playing because of 'injuries'. Back in the 70s the Metatarsal wasn't even invented! Oh, and because they get traded around so much odds are no club has local members in it any more.

Football died a long time ago.

The world would be a much better place. Football sucks. Its so boring and the players are a bunch of retards who cry when they trip over a blade of grass. Especially in the top flight.

When football dies, i will toast its demise and dance on its grave.

Rugby, now that is a mans game. Its entertaining to watch and even more fun to play. There is also nothing like the level of twat supporters associated with football in rugby

If football didn't exist, neither would Rugby, or American Football/Handegg. Both sports spawned from football.
You call american football Handegg?
No, but we should. I am from now on.

I think soccer would always exist no matter what. Give people a ball, and they're going to want a goal to put it in, eventually somebody would start kicking it and there you go.

Also, handegg? Are you kidding me? Not putting you down, but that gave me a pretty good chuckle.

It's somewhat stupid how some people who support a certain football team, hate others just because they support someone else.

If it didn't exist they would never have an excuse to cancel an episode of Doctor Who.


Also, the most played sport would be rugby/ American football/ whatever they call it in other places.

For a start it's call FOOTBALL, secondly I wouldn't care, as we'd have less "guys" running around acting like complete drama queens whenever they stub their toe, or faffing about with their hair.

Heck I'd be happy if they didn't get payed the amount they do. Sissies. Besides I'm prefer Rugby or Boxing, a MANS sport, for MANLY men who do MASCULINE things.

And seriously maybe an American or someone can answer me this:

Why is football called Soccer over there? And why is Handegg (as it is apparently now known) called football?
