It has become a universal language with no words, like chess or mathematics.
Needless to say, it is the world's most popular, most widely played sport by far. So I'm sorry to be the one to break the news, but you hockey, American football and baseball lovers are the weird ones.

Amen. Although I'm assuming you meant Ice hockey when you say hockey. Field hockey is quite popular around the world.
Edit: IMHO, I think Americans would get into soccer only if they were to ever win the World Cup.
