Not by a long shot mate, 32 countries take part in the World Cup, compared to over 200 in the Olympics.

So then the Olympics should be the most viewed sporting event in the world? Yet it isn't, the World Cup is. So you're wrong aren't you?

>>68197029
Football is enjoyed everywhere on Earth bub, because that's how popular it is. Sorry your sports are too shit to be cared about by 95% of the world's population.

>>
>>68197068
the olympics are split up into hundreds of different events, obviously that would have less appeal than a tournament featuring one sport that is easier to follow. and many, many more than just 32 countries attempt to qualify for the world cup.

literally the worst in the world. no wonder anyone else plays them, they're all fucking shit
>>
>>68197216
no one else plays them because the rest of the world is so jealous of how much americans get into their sport. and also that most americans don't even watch soccer because little cockroach spic kids play and get run over in the middle of the street yelling "futbol" a very annoying thing
>>
>>68197255
actually no one else plays them because we missed out on the colonial era when britain, france and spain decided they were going to take over the world.
>>
>>68197296
And notice how Baseball is popular in countries the US invaded.
>>
>>68197123
Your principle is still completely wrong. It's not really the number of countries participating that makes a sporting event popular. It's the number of people from a country that watch it.

E.g. in the Olympics 100m men's final, arguably the highlight event of the Olympics, lots of people watch it but you don't have a whole country getting behind their athlete, in the same way that you do in football. THAT'S what makes football so popular, and why so many hundreds of millions of people watch it. If England play Germany then the whole of England gets behind them and the whole of Germany gets behind their team. And then if it's the WC final then everyone tunes in because it's the most important sporting event in the world really.

>>68197128
Where did I say Canada mate? I don't understand what you're getting at

>>68197154
>>68197255
Played by the richest countries on the planet. 5 of the 8 countries to have won the World Cup are in the top 10 countries by GDP.

The fact that other poorer nations play it just shows how great European influence is on world culture mate. The reason Brazil plays it is because the Portuguese brought it. The reason Latin America plays it is because the Spanish brought. The reason African countries play it is because the French brought it. Sorry you don't have such an influence on global culture that other countries care about your sports mate.

Basketball is unironically as popular as cricket and more so than rugby. Baseball is rugby tier

kek also american football has only been invented just under a century. give it time lad ;)
>>
>>68197319
the fact of the matter is your chart shows that the tournaments with the most countries have the most viewers. that's enough evidence for me.

also, we were founded after it was no longer legal to invade other countries specifically to destroy their culture and install our own :^)

>>68197387
Football was only codified just over a century ago mate. There's really very little difference in their age.

Handegg will never be popular because it's shit. Other countries actually want to watch sports instead of 1 hour of adverts, cuck.

>>68197469
???
Sorry, what?
That table shows that football is the most popular sport in the world, globally. By a long fucking way. And cricket is the second most popular by the way

Why are you calling me retarded when it's clearly you that's retarded, retard?

why do you think it's some kind of badge of honor that english sports are more popular than ours? america is one of the youngest countries in the world.

>why do you think it's some kind of badge of honor that english sports are more popular than ours?
Because it's a thread about big sporting events, and how popular they are.

it WAS a thread about that, and then it turned into another autistic england vs america thread.
