Answer 14

I'm Russian, so I know that almost all Russians play soccer but not as many play hockey although currently they're better at hockey than soccer compared to the world. In the USA, not as many people like soccer, but in many other countries, you can go anywhere and see others playing soccer.

EDIT: I found a website that supported that 1st is soccer, then hockey.  http://media.www.uwtledger.com/media/sto...
