Yep, billions of people worldwide is nobody.
27.5 million U.S. ( not foreign ) viewers is nobody.
54+ million viewers tuned in across North America is nobody.
A reasonable estimate is that between 3.8 million and 4.3 million of the first 5 million spectators were Americans (either U.S. residents or U.S.-based ticket purchasers). This despite average ticket prices between $120 and $1,200 for standard matches, while high‑demand knockout games averaged $1,500–$4,000 on resale. That’s nobody.
Reuters reported that Americans “flocked for the spectacle,” with stadiums 99.6% full and demand driven primarily by U.S. buyers rather than foreign travelers. Yeah, nobody cares.
Let’s redefine the word “nobody” while we’re at it.
Give it up.
It’s soccer. Nobody cares.
Hours of boredom watching foreigners kick a ball to each other and maybe get one ball in a goal.
Watching the grass grow on the field is more exciting than what is going on on top of it.
It’s soccer, and nobody cares.
I love how the FReepers who say they aren’t interested in something seem to constantly seek out that which they profess not to be interested in order to comment on it.
I’m not in to cycling. When I see the topic come up, I scroll past it. I don’t spend my time trying to argue with someone who is a cycling enthusiast. Total waste of time.
