Most popular sports in your country? [Remake 12/?] (2 Viewers)

In Finland it's ice hockey, formula 1 and probably Finnish baseball (pretty different from baseball), but people usually get confused when I'm talking about formula 1 and don't even know what that is so I guess there is big differences from country to country.

I know football is popular in South Europe, basketball in USA and baseball in Japan, but I wonder what are the biggest hits elsewhere?

Cricket and Rugby sound pretty british for me, maybe they are from those times?

Is AFL very different from football?

So very different. It's a completely different sport. It's a lot more physical and every week, at least one or two players get injured

It's might be because it's less popular in some country
Because football is still the biggest thing and ever more since this year

Yeah it's different. This short video pretty much sums it all up

So it really doesn't seem to have anything to do football, rather it seems like american football mixed with some basketball?

Does seem like quite high energy sport sure.
