The argument football is so popular because anybody can play it is weak. An American football costs £6 over here yet I dont see everybody out playing with one, after all you can quite easily throw an American football around just as you would knock a soccer ball around.
And just to finish that weak argument off, one season at amatuer level in Liverpool once cost a friend of mine 5k of his own money. 5 grand. People can't afford soccer equipment in parts of the world, thats why theres donation schemes from teams over here. Liverpool just recently donated tons of kit and equipment to Africa for them to play in.
Soccer cleats these days are costing in excess of £150, shin guards now above £20. For the average family £200 on soccer equipment is alot of money. That can buy you a decent TV or something.
