its quite simple why soccer is more widespread u dont need anything except a ball to play... open field 4 shirts , 2 on each side and theres your goals. Even afgans can play.... note to self * watch out for mine fields *

You are sooooo wrong. Combine the Super Bowl, the Stanley Cup Final, and the NBA Playoff's and you still don't get 1/3 of the amount of people that watch World cup. Just in Brazil alone in 1998 250 Million people watched the match. That is only ONE country.

Sorry to tell you, even though I am a fan of all of those sports.

Brian911

obviously you dont understand soccer!
there is no way denmark could win a world cup in this century

but you know what? most americans dont even need to watch it.. because its ~6am EST

Well, that would be a pretty fine trick, seeing as how the population of Brazil in 1996, according to the CIA was 174,468,575 - all I can say is they must have one helluva tourist industry. Do you want facts on how many people even own TV's in Brazil?

man, people and their statistics crack me up sometimes

KRosh

Ok ... so i was off by a little. Like I said..only one country. If you want to be picky that's fine. The point is .... more people watch Soccer than any US sport.


Population: 174,468,575

note: Brazil took an intercensal count in August 1996 which reported a population of 157,079,573; that figure was about 5% lower than projections by the US Census Bureau, which is close to the implied underenumeration of 4.6% for the 1991 census; estimates for this country explicitly take into account the effects of excess mortality due to AIDS; this can result in lower life expectancy, higher infant mortality and death rates, lower population and growth rates, and changes in the distribution of population by age and sex than would otherwise be expected (July 2001 est.)

baddog

off by a little? jeez, you are not in charge of shaving for any major affiliate program are you?

You are still suggesting that every fucking native in the rain forest, as well as all the slums of Brazil is watching the damn World Cup.

I do not think there is any argument that soccer is the most popular sport in the world, however, the Super Bowl is broadcast all over the world, and every American television set is set to Fox during the game, so yeah, all the tourists are watching it too, except for the 37 at Disneyland.

As was stated above, the reason why soccer is so popular is that you need nothing more than something to kick that will not run away afterwards.

UnseenWorld

Soccer is so popular because any moron can understand the rules in about 2 minutes. Try that with American football.

Tipsy

To each their own over which is best. That's a fairly pointless and unresolvable argument. However he was making the point that the viewing figures for the world cup are FAR higher than the superbowl. Very few outside the US are interested in the superbowl mainly for the obvious reason that they don't live in the US. However a huge % of the world watches the world cup.

Who cares which sport is more popular... I think sex is more popular though!

P-Stringfellow

Hey asshole! I'm british and I love "soccer" but what the fuck has that got to do with anything??? If I was an american I would love the superbowl or whatever!

Being a european does't give you the right to slag everyone else off

Tipsy

I'm with 4pics on this. Mind you that xxxChamp is a fucking idiot - most of the board have gotta agree with that.

now that is something we can all agree on . . . . . however, I would venture to say that there are a lot more people listening to the World Cup on the radio, than there are watching it on TV

Beastiepoo

Maybe not the SMALL percentage of natives although it wouldn't surprise me if they'd make their way to the nearest pub in civilization to catch the game. All those in the slums will DEFINITELY be doing just that. You seem to forget that you don't need a TV in your home to watch television.

Also, in my 19 years of living in America I probably only watched 6 Superbowls. Most years there were more interesting things on or failing that I hit Blockbuster for a good flick.

I'm not saying football is better than american football or vice versa but simply agreeing that the viewing figures for the World Cup Final will be much higher than figures for the Superbowl.

baddog

Like it matters . . . . .I would go look it up, but since I win nothing for doing so, I will move along.

but you are funny, I can see all these bars in Rio crawling with headhunters

Beastiepoo

Do you live in a mental state of 1930? There may be 50-100k of 'native' peoples living in the rainforests of Brazil today. Possibly a few k more, but more than likely less. And a good percentage of those peoples do not live the stereotypical native lifestyle. Yes they live in the jungle, hunt for their food, do the things their ancestors did but they have knowledge of the outside world. I suppose you are right that some of them are cannibalistic but that wouldn't make a difference. THOSE tribes keep to themselves for just that reason. Part of the percentage I mentioned that probably wouldn't bother to emerge just to watch a football game. Also I didn't say they'd all head for Rio. That is just you showing your ignorance of the geography and technology level of Brazil. Most of these people wouldn't have to travel more than a day out of the jungle to find a TV.

I'm finished with this argument now. Like I said before, it isn't the sport that interests me, just the misconceptions some americans have about the rest of the world.
