So dont think soccer is a better game simply because lots of people play/watch. Personally I like all the sports mentioned.

Very solid point.
Kind of like kick the can or kick ball - doesn't take much to play, yet it can be physically stimulating and healthy to participate in. It should be more encouraged in America for children to play sports, with our rampant diabetes and obesity and what not.
In regard to this thread, thought, I'd personally rather watch a pick-up game of kick the can on a street corner than a world class soccer match. That's just me, though.
