European football is the most popular sport on the planet with over 3 billion fans played in every nation on earth which is in excess of 200. They need to change the socks (soccer) name to European football in the US.

"American football" with millions of concussions and lawsuits and 20-30 million fans will be banished in the next 5-10 yrs. It is played professional in 2 countries the US and Canada.
