I have know clue who Kaka is but Ronaldo is the biggest star , highest paid athlete and most followers. Keep in mind that soccer is the biggest sport in the world, and Football is big in USA and Canada. I don't follow soccer, just NFL, NCAA and lingerie league


Little tid bit,

Soccer is the least expensive sport to play, so it feeds into the third world along with devolped countries.

Oh I know some of those soccer players have great contracts. And no doubt soccer is the biggest sport world wide. I just can't get into it unless it's Team USA though.

I have never watched a New England revolution game or any game unless it's World Cup, then I'll watch a little

Soccer seems to be popular down in Denver. Pretty sure their MLS team has a decent following.

Ronaldo is pretty good, but he's no John Smith.

He had not played American Football before but was an outstanding all-round sportsman and superb soccer player so he approached the New England Patriots and asked for a trial as a placekicker.

John Smith (American football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

basketball and baseball aren't far behind. That's why countries like Dominican rep, PR and Cuba put out great baseball players. Kids in Europe, Africa, South America, Central America all grow up dreaming of being soccer stars like a Pele, Ronaldo, Messi , Beckham etc

Soccer has the slight edge because you only need open field and anything that can be used as a ball, but I agree basketball and baseball are right behind it.

Well I wouldn't say anything as a ball. They usually will use say a pig bladder and blow it up, or 1 ball can keep a village busy, so your right

haha that's good . When your making 40 mill a year plus endorsements, sure he doesn't want to kick FG's


He popped into my head when soccer came up. As a high school soccer player I attended a soccer camp he put on at Leominster MA h.s.

We spent the last half hour wacthing him crush fg's

That's probably why Janikowski used to drill it a mile, playing soccer in Poland
