    Well in a 3 hour football game the ball is actually moving for about 5 of those minutes. Soccer has it right...manageable time...great action, the flopping is a drag but getting better.

    Of course, 10 times more action happens in those 5 minutes of football than what happens in 90 minutes of soccer. (Yes, that's right.....in 90 minutes of soccer there are maybe what 90 seconds of goal attacking action).

    The world cup is really not very big at all here. I know you guys love soccer. For the love of all that's holy I don't get why but I know you love it.

    I wouldn't say that. The world cup is a big deal until the USA gets knocked out. Then people care much, much less.

    Just like a lot of people watch the SB because its the SB, a lot of Americans watch the WC for America. Which is great, but it means the actual sport I secondary to them.

    As soccer grows that will start to change. Hopefully it can swap with the MLB as it slowly dies

    A lot of people have foot fetishes I wouldn't say it's a big thing though.

    It is a little deal.....and less when the US gets knocked out.

    I wonder why there's such an inversion? Are they marketing more the 'experience' of going to the games? Are tv channels not showing them as much?

    I think the thing about baseball/basketball....is that those sports are so much more local broadcast oriented. The national numbers I do not think take into account the local viewership.

    Where is NFL draft in that chart? 😉

    I wonder also if it is taking in to account people watching games in bars, or via means that aren't necessarily recorded, such as via online streams?

    Today is a GREAT day for sports.

    The Tribe home opener and the second round of the Masters.

    No football to be seen or heard of

    I know you don't like Sherwood gftChris, but Villa's fortunes sure have changed since he arrived. He's even got Cleverly playing superbly atm. I can't wait for Sunday. UTV
