This. Multiplied by gazillions. I actually love the NFL, but the World Cup is like the utmost sporting-orgasm-event. Then you have things like the IAAF World Championships and Summer Olympics and stuff like that. Sometimes I wonder "WHY was I born in Canada where CURLING gets more primetime TV than real sports like soccer and athletics!!!"

Winter Olympic Hockey > World Cup.

The World Cup without flopping would make it watchable, but I hate watching grown men flop around for a penalty.

SEE?? That's how people here in Canada think. My head will explode. I'm not actually mad, I'm just completely bamboozled by the fact that every single sport I love has no freaking coverage in Canada. That's a bit of an exageration since Basketball is my favorite sport and I can actually watch 10 games per week on average. But here nobody gives a flyin' poop about other sports I LOVE like soccer, tennis and mainly athletics (track & field, whatever you wanna call it).

World Cup > Super Bowl.

More of the world watches the World Cup, its every 4 years, and has a longer history. Super Bowl is the peak of North American sports if you ask me. (7 games to decide a winner? no thanks).

I love to watch futbul with a ball kicked around an enormous field for a couple hours with almost no scoring as much as the next guy, but I'd rather watch American football.

If I liked soccer as much as football, it would be the World Cup easily. Play the Super Bowl once every four years and it would be massive. Soccer is boring though.

In the U.S. the NFL is king. The Super Bowl is the biggest sporting event for America. The majority of Americans enjoy the Super Bowl more than the World Cup. That will not change. Americans are not nearly as interested in Soccer as the rest of the world, where most countries are fanatical about it. The World Cup is the biggest sporting event for the rest of the world besides the U.S. There you go, debate over...

I will just list some world powers and what's the most watched sport in here

U.S. (1st in economics, also 1st in cultural influence): NFL

Canada (2nd in land size): Hockey

China (1st in population and 2nd in economics): Many sports, but definately not soccer

Japan (3rd in economics): Baseball

India (2nd in population): Cricket

Australia (6th in land size): Ruby

Russia (1st in land size): soccer, I assume

Brazil (5th in land zie): soccer

Dont you guys see world cup's problem is? it lacks of worldmajor powers' support, thats why world cup looks quite rubbish...no instant review, no half time show, no fancy commerical, no real competition (nothing is more fun when it involves with political hatres between 2 big countries), and too little drama in it.

You cant find U.S. vs. China, China vs. Japan, India vs. Pakistan, Russia vs. U.S. in world cup...

seriously, who knows where is senegal? Ghana? Cameroon? and some small EU countries...

The World Cup but mainly because it's once every 4 years.

I love the Superbowl too but not all Superbowls were entertaining to watch (ex. SB XL).

In addition no commercials during a Soccer game except for halftime. :D

I think once every four years is more exciting, imo so World Cup > SB. I think I like Korea's national sport the most though.

Don't forget Ties. X Games/Winter X Games/Motorcycle racing/Boxing PPV that's actually good/MMA/Curling/Competitive Gaming/College baseball/Minor League Baseball/Billiards/World Series of Poker/LA Galaxy/>>>>>>> World Cup. But i did enjoy that Euro cup a few years ago, the only soccer game i have ever sat all the way through where Spain won.

7 games? I don't see why you'd exclude all of the regular season. Super Bowl is much more exciting than the World Cup (which I love to watch), but the WC makes much more money.

This.

I second that. Soccer itself is an interesting game with potential, but there are SO many stupid rules. Any game where the refs arbitrarily decide how much extra time should be put back on the clock is stupid. They don't even follow it to the letter, they will wait for 15-20 seconds after the alloted stoppage time. It's stupid.

The World Cup doesn't have double-elimination or aggregate scoring. Nothing better than players playing quite literally for an entire country.

LOL @ people defending the NFL and then turning and calling soccer's rules "stupid". Oh, the irony:lol: I'm a football and a soccer fan but American football has TONS of stupid rules for a so called "contact" sport that is about tackling and violence.

No not really, they don't want excessive violence esp. for a defenseless WR or QB, i don't see what's stupid about not wanting someone to get killed on the field.

I agree with the helmet to helmet hits but the rules regarding QB's are horrible and that's not the only thing. Late hits are ****Ing stupid in the NFL and what constitutes unnecessary roughness is horrible too. Let's also add that Goodell puts on a front that he wants to protect people and then lobbies for 18 games:lol: Then again, when your league is run by a labia like Goodell, these things happen

Italy and Spain makes me lol, google Europe + PIGS + Italy, you will see why.

what would you want to choose? food and energy or luxury goods and transportation without gas?

of course food and energy are much more impotrant cuz they are necessity to human life.

Canada is world #1, U.S.' biggest trading partner and also biggest oil supplier. Who has more influence? The countries you mentioned cant even supply themslves food and energy without import from aboard. Thanks to China and India, food and energy industry are pretty much seller's market now.

It's actually a fair question which makes more money. American's usually spend more money watching movies then the rest of the world combined.
