imo football is the most exciting sport in the world, and it is the most popular sport in the world, there are many reasons, the only thing needed to play football is a ball and two markers which can be used as goal markers, you can play with as little as 2 people
also the sport flows continuously making it a very exciting spectator sport, the sport also involves a lot of flair and technical skill, to me there is not much flair in sports like NFL and rubgy
it IS a contact sport as shoulder to shoulder contact is allowed and strength has to be utilised to try to push others off the ball or prevent people from pushing you off the ball
another thing is even though it is a physical sport which demands a lot of fitness (running non-stop for 90 mins) you actually get to see people of different sizes unlike basket-"im pro just cause im 7ft"ball and american"im pro just cause im 300lbs"NFL, you get to see 5'5" playing against 6'5" players on the pitch
