The Top Ten

1 Soccer Soccer Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a sport played between two teams of eleven players with a spherical ball. The goal is to score the ball on the other team's goal.

Hey! Look! It's already a thing. It's called Water Polo. Well, it more like rugby because you can hit each other without getting in trouble, unless you can't master the art of punching someone when the ref isn't looking.

Water polo is used with hands, the goals are tiny, the pool is pretty small and nothing like soccer. You can't dribble so what are you talking about? - SoccerFan

Soccer would be so difficult to play under water and nearly impossible. It makes sense why it's at the top of the list. - SoccerFan

You can't kick a ball under water. - Garythesnail

Soccer is just so fun to play.

12 NASCAR

This is funny rely I mean it could work if you made NASCAR speed boat. but at the same time its just funny to think about. I mean you could do this with water sealed cars with oxygen tanks but at the same time the car might or might not need to be in the floor kinda. I don't know my point is its funny but could or could not work depending on if you wanted to change the rules or the vehicle its self

You need a car to race. There are not many cars that go on water. There is such thing as a boat, but then that wouldn't be NASCAR

How would this work? The water would probably wreck the car. - Anonymousxcxc

Umm... so a few people have said that this would be water polo... I personally play water polo and it is literally NOTHING like volleyball in water! For starters, there is no net, you can CATCH the ball, and you can SCORE GOALS, in an actual goal. (I also play volleyball)

Water volleyball is played all the time. - Songsta41
