England love soccer. Best topic of conversation if you meet a brit. Our national side is terrible but England is home to some of the best football clubs in the world.

Not if they are upper class, then they will act like they never watch or care about soccer

I think in most countries it's the poor people who are into football.

Most people outside of England don't understand that soccer is a working man's game and rugby is for the monied people.

Maybe in the 80s.

It's certainly not just a working man's game anymore.

Rugby fans in England call football fans there "wendyball"

Kenya - Running

Kenya would trade all those running medals for a chance to play in the World Cup.

This is so true.

No chance. It's a cliche. Many Canadians don't like the game.

Canadians for curling on the other hand...

Hahahahahahahahaha... very few of us care!

New Zealand for rugby would be my guess. Maybe Canada for hockey would come close ?

Soccer in Brazil or England.

Not true at all about curling. Pretty much onvly old women watch it

Wouldn't Japan's be Sumo Wrestling ?

I think Canada for hockey. They could have five more NHL franchises.

The ones they have can't win

The comment is referring to how many fans they put in the seats.

Most of the non-runner Kenyans I've met and even some of the runners care way more about kenya's rugby team than running.

It is amazing how many fans Kenya put in stadiums for rugby there. Incredible.

Norway and skiing.

The history, culture and identity of Norway are linked to skiing and its the national sport.

Norway has won 239 Olympic medals in skiing.

A historic ski jump is a national monument and top tourist attraction, attracting over a million visitors a year.

The capital city, Oslo, has 1600 miles of groomed cross country ski trails!

Over 18,500 miles of ski trails nationwide.

They say Norwegians are born with skis on their feet.

Skiing successes, failures and scandals are all big news.

While India is crazy about cricket, field hockey is more of the national sport.

Lol at some of these answers.

No, the most popular sport in Norway isn't skiing, it's football.

The most popular sport in Beligum isn't cyclocross, it's football.

The most popular sport in the Netherlands isn't skating, it's football.

And so on.

Counting college football and the NFL I would guess American football. World cup is once every 4 years, apples and oranges to the Super Bowl. 80,000+ people are packing college stadiums this month for scrimmages in football's offseason.

China - Ping Pong

Ireland is GAA
