” Close to 800 million will watch the final on Sunday (compared to the 110 million who watch the Superbowl).”
actually if you count my husband, my daughter/son-in-law, and I the number watching Sunday’s match will be 800,000,004. If someone doesn’t like soccer (REAL football), then fine. Don’t watch, but don’t be so idiotic as to put down a great sport that many Americans who are not liberal truly enjoy. Personally American football is so boring I would rather watch bark grow on a tree, but I certainly won’t put down those who love it.
Where else can you get 15 minutes of action during a 3 hour broadcast?
I am an avid fan of both. It is not an either/or choice for me. I will be watching at a local soccer pub. The atmosphere is electric. Great fun.
