Interesting Soccer Fact of the Week!

Greg on May 13th, 2008 in Soccer Fact of the Week

It has come to my attention that a good number of Soccer is Futbol readers don’t regularly follow the sport, and some don’t even know a thing about the great game!

So, in light of this, I bring a new segment for all to enjoy: The Interesting Soccer Fact of the Week!!

Some of you may know these facts already, some may be surprised, but all will be entertained.

So without further ado:

The 2008 NFL Super Bowl was the most watched Super Bowl of all time bringing in 97.5 million viewers.

Compare that to the most recent soccer World Cup final in 2006 (played once every 4 years) which brought in a staggering 715.1 million viewers.

Absolutely great idea. since all my kids are grown, and soccer wasn’t so popular around here when they were kids, what i know about soccer would fit in one hand comfortably. I know a couple of names. Mia Hamm comes to mind. Pele. ummmmm this guy that’s married to a spice girl (wink wink).

seriously. hopefully we’ll all learn something! thanks!
