good insite with what you said about soccer, but ill give you one statistic that doesnt lie,... 12.8% of the world will be watching which equates to 800 million out of 6.27 billion,... more than 1 in every 10,... and thats for a sport that only 1 country participates in...

Why do soccer fans feel the need to either bash football, or argue that soccer is better? This wasnt a thread about soccer vs. football, it was a thread about the SUPER BOWL. If you dont understand football then dont watch it, dont talk about it, its really that simple. I find it really annoying that in this so called "Sports Discussion" forum, its always about which sport is better than the other sport. And why!?!? WHO FUCKING KNOWS WHY?!?!? Id love it to see the odd time that i do visit this forum, people discussing the sports they enjoy, and debating within the sport itself, not comparing it to other sports. Myself, i cant justify sitting in front of a television for a 90 minute soccer game to MAYBE see a couple of goals. Its pointless and boring to me. But on the other hand i do respect the sport, and all sports in general, so thats why when i see all these soccer threads i let them be for the people who truly enjoy the sport.

Will be watching what....? The Superbowl? Give me the stats for an ordinary NFL game and I might begin to take that claim seriously. I find that statistic dubious as it is. 1 in 10 people? In the UK, 1 in 1000 people might check the result or something. I'm sure the Superbowl will be screened in the UK, because of the dominance the US has over television, but noone here will be watching it.

Then you should have a look at the figures for the World Cup Final and see things in perspective.

Also that "one" country, the United States, is a massive country which has a massive influence over television. I can assure you, very few people outside of the US will be watching the biggest event in the American Football calendar. I think you are being misguided by such statistics, leave North America and you will not find a trace of American football.

I am not belittling American football here, I am trying to correct a misconception.

Where has this occurred? Me and DJ Fundamental were laughing at the suggestion that the SuperBowl is the most anticipated event in the world. Where have I 'bashed' American football? The harshest thing I said was that I personally don't like it, and you have just said soccer is 'boring to you'. The words pot, kettle and black spring to mind.

I wasnt talking about your comments. And if football is boring to you, then why dont you post a thread about how boring you think it is so you and all your soccer buddies can have fun together.

i dissagree!! World Cup Mutch Better, Much More Popular.

Anyway, My Prediction:

Oakland 17
Tampa Bay 25

oh and Zewad FOOTBALL is FOOTBALL, NOT soccer becasue you actually use your feet most of the time, hence FOOTball whereas American football is American Football and there is much more hand work going on!
