[QUOTE="eoino, post: 109322"] There are over 60 million people living in the UK. So, domestic soccer can stay on the top spot amongst Sport fans aswell as Rugby Union and Rugby League because you have enough people to support many sports. Ireland has a population 6 million people, the number one sport is GAA. Rugby and soccer would come second place and so numbers are fewer, in Australia there are 20 million people, again enough to support AR and Rugby as the two biggest sports.. I dont see the game dying, because its really starting to pick up heavily amongst the Hispanic culture and in parts of Africa, it just takes longer to adapt than soccer and so will obviously take many more years to gain as much popularity, but soccer will eventualy die in world sports like every major sport in history and another will take its place.. whether its Rugby or Syncronized Swimming.. who knows!
