I live in the States and they have soccer on TV quite a bit - but cricket is a sport you never see on TV over here. I think cricket used to be pretty big in America at one time - like around the mid-19th century, but got buried by baseball eventually. Women's soccer at the local University always has one of the best teams in the country, so I follow them as well.
I played football whenI was in grade school but I seldom watch the games. I am more inclined to watch mixed martial arts fights on tv because it is more exciting although brutal and violent. Sometimes I also watch golf and tennis.
