The question I asked was to challenge the 'cultural ties' that you stated earlier. For example the USA and especially Canada have far greater cultural ties to the UK than Argentina ever could. So based on the logic that you've applied with the wiki example, football should be far more popular in North America than it actually is, that would also be further enforced by the huge amount of immigration into the USA from countries where football is the biggest sport, because immigrants by and large dictate the future development of a society.
It's not that I disagree about the cultural link to the popularity of sports in a country, but in this aspect I think that USA and Canada are an anomaly in regards of this.

They immigrated away from those countries for a reason so they wouldn't exactly like taking everything their mother countries and bringing them here. It just so happens that football got lost in the transition.
