The most popular sport in our country is cricket but i dont like cricket that much as it has got commercial now. Players of our country play just for the sake of money. I love football. Its a great game it is not much popular in our country but more n more people and starting to develop interest in it.

Here in Texas it is American Football, or as my wife calls it handball! She is European and loves Soccer. I have just start to watch football/soccer and I find that our USA team isn't very good. I hope one day that America can be competive at the world cup level.

There are three main popular sports in the UK: Football, Cricket, and Rugby. I used to just enjoy watching football, because I didn't understand Cricket or Rugby, but as my partner used to play both of these at school, he's taught me about both Cricket and Rugby. I think that these two sports are my favourites now that I understand them! Rugby is a very physical rough game, but it's played with a good spirit of sportsmanship, and players don't pretend to be hurt and roll around on the floor as they often do in Football! Cricket is a very English sport, and again, sportsmanship is part of the game and its heritage. Apparently it was first played hundreds of years ago by shepherds with their crooks (a type of hooked stick they used to herd the sheep) and a ball of wool. It's of course changed, since it became a professional sport, but players used to walk off the pitch if they believed they were out, without the umpire having to tell them they were out. Being fair and honest were important parts of the game, as well as doing your best. Nowadays, not so many players are quite so sportsmanlike, but that ethic is still at the heart of the sport.
