Considering the NFL is pretty muched only watched in the U.S., the viewership for the Super Bowl is more impressive.
For the World Cup to have a similar rate of viewership throughout countries where soccer is the most popular sport, there would have to be at least 2 billion viewers...

well there's also a TV in what, probably 4 out of every 5 homes in the US? That's a random guess that I bet is close.

And a good number of people only watch the SB because of the commercials. Not the case for the WC.

Since the WC will pull just as good as numbers in the US no its not impressive.

Correct

Exactly, one sport involves teams from a single country playing a sport that is popular only in that country. The World Cup involves 32 teams from across the world playing the worlds most popular sport. Not a valid comparison IMO

Honestly, both are equally impressive.
US Population is roughly 315 million. Superbowl was viewed by 111 Americans. Roughly 35% of Americans watched the Superbowl.
World Population in 2010 was 6.9 billion. People who watched the 2010 World Cup Final was 910 million according to the graphic. That's 13% of the World's population.
What if we take into account to over 95% of American households own a television. I would wager to say that less the 25% of World households own a television. What if 95% of the world had access to a television? I would wager that billions more would have been able to watch the World Cup final. A huge amount of the World's population is simply too poor to even watch the World Cup final.

The Super Bowl had an estimated 111.5 million viewers, yes? Though viewership is not out for the 2014 World Cup (obviously), Nielsen reported that the 2010 World Cup had an estimated 111.6 million viewers in the United States. That's a 22% increase from the 2006 World Cup, which was estimated to have 91.4 million viewers in the United States.
