Of course Football is the World's most popular game. It's cheap, even the poor can afford to play it. Any empty space including grass, gravel or anything else can have a goal marked with just about anything. 22 People can now play a sport, for the cost of a single ball.
You can not say this is true of almost any other sport. Basketball is close, but requires a hard court and baskets. However, once this is established in a community, again only a ball is needed. This explains the popularity in poor American hoods.
Football may well be a good game, but claiming it's the "best" because it's the most popular is sort of misleading. It's kind of like saying white rice is "better" than roast beef, because more people eat it as a daily staple.
