Americans don't give a crap about the World Cup.

Ratings will be off the roof because we're all waiting to watch the Cowboys. So when you soccer tards come out with your, but look at the ratings for this Oat, that's why. Because of the NFL.

And when the World Cup puts out much bigger numbers than the cowboys game? It’s because people watching at 11:45 waiting for the cowboys game?

Add this to the list of reasons why soccer is dumb. Sudden death OT is the only way to go and adds to the excitement.

See the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.

I mean, yeah. Football is infinitely more entertaining than soccer. The rest of the world is stupid so who cares what they like?

I imagine a large percentage of the Cowboys fanbase are also big soccer fans.

A regionally aired cowboys game will not beat a World Cup final. You can claim it’s because people waiting but it won’t be

This is a global number but just to give a bit of perspective and share an interesting stat

FIFA said the 2018 World Cup, held in Russia, was watched by a cumulative audience of 3.57 billion. Or, put another way, more than half of the global population aged four and over watched at least one minute of one of its 64 games.

Typically yes, but this world cup match has been absolutely insane.

And I don't particularly care for soccer.

I don’t care for soccer at all but how can someone call themselves a sports fan and not want to watch penalty kicks to win it all
