its easy to back those figures up even an afl brick has fingers to type.
just google "fifa world cup tv audience"
the first world cup game is always followed by the comentators words of
"an estimated tv audience of 4 billion"
when the poorest peoples in the world have only their football team to give them joy then you narrow minded "wrapped up in cotton wool" simple people need to get out more
australia is a completely classless society we dont have to look at or live next to the very poor in this world
and that is why we are on the whole narrow minded

Thanks for pointing it out, i've gone 34yrs thinking its a great game but I've seen the light, its officially boring because you say so. Even more boring than chess....grow up pal.
Don't you just love soccer? (football in the rest of the world). It's probably the biggest most popular sport drawing crowds world wide with all its passion and controversy. A few idiots riot? Then what? It's a great sport and great entertainment value.
If it ain't got a motor, It ain't sport, it's just torture. Perhaps football codes need to be added to the TOS along with global warming, politics, religion etc
