FIFA has more member states that both the IOC and even the UN.
and if you look for the top ten sporting events (in terms of tv viewing figures) you'll find this:
1. 2002 FIFA World Cup Final (1.3 billion viewers)
2. Euro 2004 Soccer Final (153 million viewers)
3. 2004 Olympic Games: opening ceremony (127 million viewers)
4. 2004 Olympic Games: closing ceremony (96 million viewers)
5. 2004 Super Bowl (95 million viewers)
6. 2004 Olympic Games: men's 100m metres (87 million viewers)
7. 2003 Champions League (67 million viewers)
8. 2004 Olympic Games: men's 200m freestyle swimming (66 million viewers)
9. 2004 Formula One: Monaco Grand Prix (59 million viewers)
10. 2004 Basketball: NBA finals (25 million viewers)
Fifa may have more MEMBERS, but not more states. See, for axample, Wales and Scotland have national teams, but they aren't states. (Since more or less every nation is a UN member, it wouldnt be possible -,-)
your reply would be quite good...

...if it wasn't for the interview given by Kofi Annan (UN Secretary General) about the subject of football. In which he said the following:
- - -
"As the only game in the world that is played in every country and by people of every race and religion, football is one of the few institutions that is as exceptional as the United Nations."
Annan pointed out world soccer governing body FIFA has 205 members compared to the United Nations' 191 and that "everybody on the planet will talk about the World Cup".

And although you're correct about the scotland, wales thing... you need to remember that Britain is the only country in the world to have split national teams... mainly because we had english, scottish welsh teams years before FIFA even existed.
So, anyway, you've brought the count down to 203 seperate Nations in FIFA... still 12 more than the UN.
Americans didn't invent the name for Football as Soccer, BRITIONS did that in the late 1800's. here is a link from a uk website. http: //www. soccer. mistral. co.uk/ histwhy.htm
So calling Americans stupid for calling it Soccer shows your own ignorance of the history of Football. Do some research next time before you open blast someone.
rugby is older than football (real "soccer" football not pussy american "catchball")
they both descend from a primitive form of rugby like Italian game called Calcio (which btw is how football is called in Italy) where people from opposite towns would carry the ball with their hands or feet to the city gates
later, some calcio players who prefered to play only with their feet held a convention in England to make the first soccer association

Why dont you google "The Cambridge Rules" which is the basis of football... and is also the game which was modified to create the game Rugby.

american football is like the 5 sport or something and that`s only because they play it in USA, the world doesn`t care about american football, at the world cup final (football) watched 1 billion people, superbowl 95 million.
If you scrolled down the page (or even bothered to google for figures) you would notice the "top 10" worldwide sporting events in terms of TV viewing figures...
...The superbowl came 5th - with 100 million viewers
...The World Cup Final came 1st - with 1.2 BILLION viewers.
Well, i'll have to concede your numbers as being correct, but by no means is the Super Bowl a non-event as you suggest. As far as soccer is concerned, I am actually a big fan of the World Cup and added to its viewership over the last several days. I think the best game I have seen so far has been Ghana beating the Czech Republic. Now as far as comparing the sports is concerned, I think it is like comparing an apple to an orange. I by no means can picture an american foottball player being able to make the crossover to big time soccer, but at the same time I cant picture Maradona(or any soccer/football) being able to play american football. They would simply get killed. It is far too much contact. No, i am not suggesting there is no contact in soccer, but you must admit it is minimal ion comparison. My point is that they are completely different sports. Soccer/football is a game of grace and when played correctly it is absolutely beautiful to watch. American football is a game of fierce contact and is much less fluid. I am a huge fan of American football, and it is simply a different game. Are you guys mad that we took the name "football" . Hell, we also stole your guys hot tea idea. Take it as acompliment.

lol i love how you compare soccer or football to american football...why did the two even get brought up in the first place? who said one was better than the other? they have nothing in common...for some reason you british people feel the need to compare your "football" to our "american football" when in reality it doesnt matter what hte name is...its the game...so you compare your "football" to our "soccer" next time...and i dont think american football should be called football... but guess what...the name isnt gonna change because i dont agree with it..therefore you people who say americans are stupid because they call it football are in fact stupid themselves because everyone in america now has had nothing to do with the name...
u said that everyone in AMERICA has nothing to do with the name? what about Brazil? they call "soccer" football. people there actually question the name.
so technically yes, they have something to do with the name.
and U.S "football" isn't a worldwide sport with no worldwide tournaments. so idk why everyone says that its the best sport in the world, when the U.S uses it for propoganda.
(thinka bout it)
every game= propoganda. the anthem is heard. the U.S flag is there. and the audience are peer pressured to stand up and sing along. rofl .
and also. ur government is corrupt. the bush administration planned out the entire terror campaign, and 9/11 acts. go search up "loose change" on google video and ull see.
after bush got re-elected isn't it funny that he made homeland security, patriot act, invaded iraq, and invaded afghanistan gaining the right to seize any "terrorist" (through the patriot act) and detain him w/out trial? and isn't it funny that the U.S got 11 million barrels of oil from afghanistan and THEN got out? and there were no "weapons of mass destructions" or "NuCUlar weapons?".
