If you were a student in France, what sport would you play and why?
That's a question I have to answer in my Sport Project for French. I'm saying soccer, because it has a large variety of elite teams and is the most popular sport in the country. Can anyone give me any other reasons why? If the country provides a lot of fields or whatever etc. Thanks =]

play football (only usa call it soccer). you can also use the fact that a lot of french players are of black descent - this giving some of the poorer/ african french immigrant /descendant population some feeling of belonging etc etc.

Soccer is a good one for many reasons. (It's called calcio in Italy but everyone picks on the US calling it soccer!) It takes only a ball and a few friends so even the economically challenged can play; there are soccer (football) fields in almost every park in France; it is the number one sport in France; it has been the most popular sport for many generations so everyone and their grandparents know all of the rules and how to play. If a player is exceptional, they could make good money playing for a professional team and even represent France in the World Cup.

It is soccer. When I was 5 and lived in Paris, the whole courtyard was filled with soccer playing kids. It was fun to remember. It also provides many fields in France and everyone in Paris is playing soccer, even in parks or on the street, against a wall of with makeshift walls. Yes, it is soccer. Good luck on your Sport project.
