Why is it 'the beautiful game'?

because it is the most popular sport in the word

Because as in a classical symphony, against the infinite strategic variations of the team, the orchestra, you have the technique of the individual players, the soloists, all under the guiding hand of the manager, the conductor. Individual technical actions sometimes even remind you of a classical ballet.

Best answer please! ;)

Edit - Wait a second?!?! Did this game just go into overtime? I thought that only happened with a draw!! Ref!! This is clearly not a draw!! C'mon!! Seriously,, that was so obviously a victory! Ref, you gotta be kiddin' me ref!!! ;-) (or in other words; Opera too!)

this guy vince isnt even talking about the right thing. soccer is the most popular sport in the world and it is the gentleman's sport. every country is very passionate about it and it allows people in struggling countries to enjoy something that they are interested in. Soccer unites the world and provides stablility.

Because women arn't involved in it
