world cup TV ratings > super bowl tv ratings.Originally Posted by bconngemini
Why do you say this and what evidence is there to support your soccer love-in? If you actually look at the data, soccer is in a steady decline around the world, with basketball the most popular sport in China and baseball throughout Asia and South America, and with soccer falling in popularity throughout modern first world countries like the USA, Canada, Australia, Germany, France..etc. Except for England and some other Old Europe countries, soccer is only popular in very poor places (Ghana, Brazil...etc) and as these places see their GDP increase, so does the popularity of soccer decrease in those countries. Basketball may eventually become the most played sport in the world, its just as cheap as soccer except its fun to play and looks more masculine, but football will come to dominate the global TV ratings as its just the best TV product that America has ever created (and we know good TV since the whole world watches our shows).Originally Posted by LosALMIGHTY
And soccer will always be #1 in the world. read a book.
As soon as the rest of the world understand football, they will never turn back, it's hard to argue that soccer is more exciting to watch but I'd love to see you try.
2006 Super Bowl - 98 million viewers
2006 world cup - 260 million viewers
until the NFL puts a league in every continent soccer will always be the #1 sport in the world.
deal with it.
