"According to a survey, global viewing figures for the match averaged 109 million; this put the UEFA Champions League final above the Super Bowl (106 million viewers in 2009) as the most-watched annual sporting event in the world. Total figures, which included viewers who watched only part of the match, put the Champions League final even further ahead of the Super Bowl, with 206 million viewers compared to 162 million"
About 710 million people watched the World Cup Final in 2006.

To add to this, most people that watch the champions league final and World Cup, actually pay attention to the game. Super Bowl on the other hand, it's a party basically but to be fair it is the most popular sport in the country and a shit load of people did pay attention to it.

do you just want everyone to admit that culture is what makes Soccer popular? would that be satisfying? lol.
alright, so it's culture, culture is what makes Soccer popular; because when kids are young their families nudge them in the direction of playing Soccer.
so? what's the point? it doesn't make it any less boring; in some cultures they eat bugs, does that mean they taste good? no. in some cultures they have communism, does that make the way the country is run good? no. so in some cultures they play Soccer, does that make it good? no.
there isn't any convincing people who don't like Soccer to start liking it because other cultures play it like it's religon lol.

considering the World Cup is a WORLDWIDE thing & people watch for their countries & in most of those countries Soccer is the number one sport & the Super Bowl is watched by people in other countries who don't have any direct relation to the sport, considering all the players & teams are from America.
my point being, something that involves the ENTIRE world SHOULD have more viewers than something that involves half of the states in the USA.
but since the NFL still gets SO many viewers from other countries, countries that don't even have a Football to throw if they wanted to, you can't just hand the NFL the L in that debate.

Not trying to convince people to like it. It's just stupid when people diss it thinking they wouldn't be all up on soccer's dick if they grew up somewhere else.
