Mate football is a game of 150-200 countries, while cricket is played as professional sports in around 20-30 countries. So, no comparison b/w the two. But that does not make cricket any less of a sport. Cricket is a exciting game. Though much less countries play it compared to soccer, still its the second most popular game in the world.

No. of countries wise football is popular

but when you consider the no. of fans, I guess cricket is popular.

This is because of huge population in India, pakistan & bangladesh. India alone constitutes 1/7th of population.

Cricket is gentlemen game while football can become a wrestling match

Cricket in south-asia. Football in rest of the world.
