Is it true that soccer is being overtaken by basketball?

Not at all afraid of being overtaken

Refer to the Nike advertisement Kick the legend

The last World Cup, although the number of goals was small, but it still left us with so many classics

It is precisely because of the difficulty of scoring a wonderful goal that we can remember with our hearts, and also allow us to cheer for the goal (watching a basketball game, you can see that every time a goal is scored the players and the fans will celebrate with abandon). You see the players and the fans celebrating every time a goal is scored?)

Additionally, look at some information:

1. Geography

Football is played in every corner of the world, Asia, Africa, Europe, America

It is impossible to accurately count the number of soccer fans in the world, because there are so many!

In war-torn Afghanistan and Iraq, children use soccer as an international language to communicate with U.S. soldiers.

2. Television broadcasts

C5 broadcasts Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, La Liga, the World Cup, the Asian Cup, the America's Cup, the U.S. Cup ..... The only basketball game televised is the NBA, whose ratings in the U.S. will soon be surpassed by those of the major leagues. The number of people watching the opening game of the World Cup is NN times greater than the number of people watching the NBA finals.

3. The tournament

The World Cup has become synonymous with soccer. Everyone knows that many countries will pay a lot for a ticket to the World Cup. Young people who experienced the night of October 7, 2001 should know what Beijing was like that night, Tiananmen Square was so crazy for the first time in its history, the red color fluttered for the first time on such a large scale, and the reason for this, is because China entered the World Cup. And our basketball team in the Asian Cup final after a humiliating loss to Iran, Mr. Sun but in the giggle.

The influence of the soccer World Cup is not comparable to that of the NBA. And such as Serie A, the English Premier League, La Liga... The league is even more numerous.

4. Economy

The world's best-run clubs are almost exclusively soccer clubs, and the world's best-selling sports memorabilia is always the authentic jerseys of the major clubs. Any of the European giants in the soccer world are ranked far higher than the NBA giants on the list of the world's sports brands. One World Cup can boost a country's economy for five years.

5. Military

The 1969 Six Day War between El Salvador and Honduras. The war erupted over soccer, which existed when tensions between the two countries were finally ignited by riots during the 1970 World Cup soccer tournament in the North American periphery. on July 14, 1969, El Salvador attacked Honduras. A cease-fire coordinated by the Organization of American States (OAS) went into effect on July 20, and Salvadoran troops withdrew in early August.

The only sport in the world that can make two countries go to war, I'm afraid, is soccer.

6. Mass base

Basketball fans should not fail to recognize that even in China, there are far, far more soccer fans than basketball fans. Even if the Chinese team's record is poor, there will still be no shortage of fans at home games. It's impossible to count the number of Chinese people who stayed in front of the TV during the World Cup. Remember when the South Koreans watched the 2002 World Cup in front of the big backdrop in the plaza and chanted "Republic of Korea"? I don't think they were chanting for the Korean basketball team, were they? They're not chanting for Ha Seung-jin, are they? Because the chants belong to Park Ji-sung. Who's Park Ji-Sung? Manchester United's semi-starter midfielder!

7. CULTURE

The culture of soccer is diversified, and the history of soccer culture has been going on for a hundred years, during which the history of any club, such as Real Madrid, AC Milan, Manchester United, can be described as legendary. In the soccer world, there is the traditional Latin culture of Europe, the GINGA culture of America ..... Basketball represents only the hiphop rap of the black world in the U.S. This is hardly convincing because white Americans, who occupy the largest proportion of the U.S. social class, are fond of professional baseball and ice hockey.

8. Influence

A successful man in the world of soccer receives far more honors, both seen and unseen, than a basketball player. Cantona is the eternal king of Manchester United, Pele and Maradona have more influence in the world than the President of the United States, I guess. FIFA is the world's number one sports organization, not the NBA. In 2001, after the Chinese national team came out of the tournament, the president personally sent congratulations to the central government and the CPPCC ..... All of them sent congratulations one by one. This kind of treatment can only be enjoyed by the Chinese national soccer team .....

Football is far superior to basketball in every way,

The reason the NBA is so hot in China is because of the NBA's careful packaging, and that's because C5 can't get the rights to broadcast the English Premier League.

Soccer will always be the number one sport in the world,

Basketball fans who challenge this law are brain dead. You can like basketball all you want, but I'm telling you, soccer is the number one sport in the world, and if you're not number two, ask volleyball.

9. Difficulty

Difficulty Which is easier, writing with your hands or with your feet? Why else would someone praise Suk's left foot for playing the violin? It's also a direct reflection of a player's athleticism that soccer players are obviously more athletic than basketball players, and you can turn the ball over more than 20 times in just 48 minutes of play with your hands, many of them unforced. In contrast, Barcelona doesn't necessarily turn the ball over that much in a 90-minute game

Basketball's level of difficulty is obviously not in the same league as soccer

Basketball is much more focused on the game than soccer. p>

Basketball is more about your innate qualities, like you're bigger, taller, faster, and can fly, and you're halfway to success in the NBA. Most of the NBA's biggest stars meet these qualifications, like O'Neal, Malone, and then Joe or James, but it's really the guys like Iverson, Nash, Stockton, Peanut, and Boykins who are just taking it to a whole other level, and not just relying on capital, that's rare. But in soccer you have a different situation, the physical advantage has been reduced to a very small degree, the world's two most famous champions Pele, short and thin, Maradona is short and fat (the body is also relatively fat during the player's era) According to the NBA theory, it is unimaginable for such a player to get a foothold in the league, but in soccer it's a different matter, you can look at the Romario of the past, and now Messi, which one of them relies on his body to make a living? Which one is to rely on the body to eat, are relying on their technology, so in soccer, technology is the most critical element of the Nordic pirates are strong enough, it is still not by the Spanish midfield a few short-footed tigers play round and round

You look at China China's basketball is still a super strong team in Asia, right? Why? Because of the altitude and the weight, if there is no Yao, if there are no people who are a head taller than the average height of Korea and Japan, can China dominate Asia? In terms of skill, in terms of coordination, in terms of 3-pointers, can they compete with the Koreans of years past? Dude, let's be honest. Basketball is a really low-skill sport, and it's not comparable to soccer, or else the Chinese would have been in the World Cup by now. Obviously, it's a lot harder to play soccer than it is to play basketball in the same conditions. China doesn't produce giants like Yao Ming and Tiezhu every year. So, all things considered, basketball's skill level is much lower than soccer. Hardness should also be included in the difficulty, right? Do you think it's more tiring to play a game of soccer or a game of basketball? For the complete engaged in these two sports people should be able to immediately give the answer in the same conditions, you play a soccer game than you play a basketball game to feel tired more This can also be seen from the NBA and soccer league games NBA at least a week also have double games more often even appear 4 games back to back a season to meet many times in soccer unless you are a super freak can be in a 1 day ago to play a game of Real Madrid to finish the game, but also to play a game of soccer to play a game of soccer. Unless you're a super freak and can play a Real Madrid game one day before and then a Spanish national team game 24 hours later, a doubleheader in soccer is already the limit for the fitness of many teams. The amount of energy a soccer player expends and the length of the run in a game is far greater than in the NBA. Cramps from kicking are common, and I haven't seen too many cramps from playing basketball. There's so much blood and broken legs in soccer that it's even fatal. So it's much harder to play soccer than to play soccer. Basketball starts to peak at the age of 30, while soccer starts to reach the end of its career at the age of 30. An NBA team with an average age of 30 can be said to be at its peak, while in soccer, a 30-year-old can be called half of a nursing home. A basketball fan told me that soccer is just a matter of throwing two pieces of clothing, setting up a goal a few meters wide, and then kicking the ball into the goal Who doesn't know how to kick the ball? You have a good point, but I have to tell you that when I was 3 years old, I could already slap a basketball and make it bounce Does that mean that I was able to play basketball when I was 3 years old? Basketball, you pass with your hands, you dribble with your hands, you score with your hands, right, and it's completely in the air, right, and I've never seen a ground ball pass, whereas soccer, it's an amphibious sport, you don't know if the ball's going to come out of the sky or roll off the ground, and you don't know if you're going to stop the ball with your head, or with your chest, or with your feet, and you don't know if you're going to shoot the ball with your feet, or with your head, which is a lot more complicated than basketball. And do you think you're better off throwing a 20-meter ball with your hands or kicking a 60-meter ball with your feet? To put it bluntly, nearly half of the points in basketball are scored through pick-and-rolls or easy baskets, and it's really a small portion of the game where you're dunking on people or moving through the air, whereas in soccer, you're always in motion, you have to be worried about other people's kicks, and you're always in the middle of a confrontation, which is a lot more demanding. 11. the degree of excitement

the degree of excitement windmill ah free throw line jumping dunk and super kill plus those juggling in the air dodging and before crossing the half-court of the long distance 3 points, these should be the more exciting shots in the NBA, and you take out and the soccer field flying fairy, scorpion tail swinging in the air, inverted hooks backcourt super long distance cannon, and the long distance running like maradona, as well as the 28-foot pass and then goal comparison, who is more exciting? Goal. Who's the best?

12. Suffocation

Suffocation In the NBA, there is nothing more exciting than the last-second kills of Jordan and countless other key players, and the most amazing of all is the 0.4-second kill by Fish, which can be replicated and can be seen every week, but it's not so easy to see such moments of life and death on a soccer field, unless you forget about the Bayman's last penalty kick, which was the first of its kind. Can you forget Bayern's late free kick in the penalty area to win the World Cup, and Italy's last-minute penalty against Australia in '06? Can you forget France's last gasp in the Euro 00 final? If you remember that, then you won't forget Manchester United's comeback of the century in '99, will you? I think it's better to be rare than precious

Penalty shootout, you should have heard of it, is there a more breathtaking project than this? In the '06 final, a billion people around the world held their breath during the penalty shootout, and it felt like they were going to put you on the guillotine one by one, and that's the feeling you get when you're in front of the TV, and you're watching the game live, and you feel like hell is coming to you, and you can't even tell if you're the one taking the penalties, and you're suffocating, and I'm pretty sure there's nothing that can suffocate you like that, heh

13. Fanaticism

Fanaticism Have you ever seen a story about basketball fans of two teams bleeding out because they don't like each other? Have you ever seen a regular warm-up game or a commercial game where the fans of an NBA team go crazy and flock to the away game to cheer them on? But you can always see the fans of a soccer team fighting with their rivals again, and often there are even murders, and you can see the visiting fans complaining about how few tickets the home team has left, and, as a Chinese person, how many people would be up and paying attention to the NBA if it played at 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. every day?

Did you know that more than 350 million people watched the draw for the World Cup in Germany in '06, and more than a billion people watched the final, not counting the big screens, the families watching at home, the families fighting in the bars while watching the game, and the people in our dorm rooms with their computers, and that the World Cup was watched by more than 30 billion people? You don't have to tell me that the NBA All-Star Game or the Finals are broadcast live in over 200 countries in 45 different languages, who doesn't have that? The question is how many viewers

15. Domestic importance

Domestic importance If it wasn't for the fact that Big Yao and Little Yi and a few others have gone on to play in the NBA, would CCTV be able to broadcast that much? If China had a few soccer superstars playing in Real Madrid, AC, Barcelona and appearing in the Champions League final from time to time and becoming half a leader like Yao, then the whole country would go crazy

16.Market value

Market value The NBA you don't look at the high salary, their minimum guaranteed salary is far more than most of the players of the soccer medium, that's also because he is in the United States, the other countries' economy can be compared to the United States? America? But if you look around the world, which one has the greatest economic value? What's the economic value of a worldwide soccer tournament? Why do all the countries compete to host the World Cup instead of some men's basketball tournament? It's because basketball and soccer have completely different levels of popularity
