16.1million more people saw his goal. Not counting all the replays in sports center and all the people in pubs and parks and stadiums watching them. Think back to 2002 and LD's tap in gime. Remember stadiums and city parks jammed with people watching. I don't even remember the pub I was in being overly crouded. I didn't even know LD still played until I pulled up his wiki page to see where he was born. I get more casual Fans asking me about that guy who was suppose to USA next Pele. referring to Freddy Adu

16.1 million more does not equal 16.1 million times more. That's simple math.

Yes

Of course you do, because LD is a known entity and was one of the faces of US soccer for 10 years. They are asking about a 26 year old that plays in the NASL and has only played 17 games for the US (with the last one being in 2011) and none of them were memorable.

Probably because it was during the day and people have to work.

Sportscenter didn't begin in 2014. If you don't think LD's goal in 2010 wasn't the lead on sportscenter that night (and the next 2-3 nights), then you didn't own a TV back then.
