Why is soccer so easily adapted to different cultures?

It’s almost impossible to ignore the impact that “soccer” has on different countries, around the world. In America, winning or losing a football match isn’t life or death. But the rest of the world feels differently. In fact, football — as it’s known everywhere else around the world — can mean life or death.

The influence of football on a country’s people doesn’t always result in a favorable outcome, though. In North Korea for example, the outcome is public shaming.
