Is it a joke or do some Americans really think the superbowl is the world’s biggest sporting event? Because that’s hilarious.

The Super Bowl - 1 country takes part. 125 million views.

World Cup. 193 countries - 40 qualify. The final viewed by 5 BILLION

Honestly, some people…

Generally speaking Americans know soccer is the most popular sport in the world.

I watched only couple of pro games in my life. Seeing these guys faking injury to get a foul called makes me feel like I can't take any of it seriously.
I used to love playing the game in school though.

I remember a superbowl years back where one of the players says”We’re the best in the world”!!
My thoughts were you’d never stand a chance at Australian football!!

@Quimliqer I always thought it would be cool to get some international teams and play a seasons worth of games where the teams all played rugby, australian, both Canadian and American gridiron rules and see determine the champion based on the best over season score of all the rule sets. No special teams for each rule set, just the same teams playing a different ruleset each week over a couple of months.

@MethDozer That would be an exciting set of games to watch!!

I do agree though it's not the biggest event .Id rather watch any kind of auto racing. But the Olympics is probably the biggest

Oi, mate, don’t be daft — the World Cup’s miles better than that Super Bowl malarkey. You lot get all excited over four hours of adverts, lukewarm nachos, and blokes in shoulder pads stoppin’ every twelve seconds. Meanwhile, we’ve got thirty‑two nations goin’ full tilt for a month straight, proper limbs flyin’ when someone bangs one in from thirty yards. It’s the beautiful game, innit. Not whatever that padded‑up rugby cosplay is you’re watchin’. Sort yourself out, yeah?

We’re extremely isolated over her and most have no perspective of anything beyond Canada or Mexico

@EBSVC Yes but you’re aware of that. It feels like the majority of your compatriots can’t process that.

Of course you don’t - that’s why you never shut up about it. You are more transparent than glass

@MethDozer I'm not a fan of football, or the American version, where they only seem to kick a ball every half hour or so, so a friend took me to an American football match, i have to say it was a pretty good show, interrupted by some extremely well padded chaps handing a ovoid ball to their friends, whilst playing what looked like kiss chase. That being said, i was then taken to a rest of the world type football match, only to find it was more of a competition in falling over, pretending to be hurt, and when no-one took any notice they got up and seemed to be quite unharmed, but they did have a ball shaped ball and tended to use a foot or 2, so on that basis alone, the rest of the world football would have to be the best. This doesn't mean i will ever waste any more of my life watching either
