There really is no need to add anything, but I just want to make sure I understand. An event featuring 32 nations (many small) from around the world, playing 79 games, with total seating capacity of 2.9 million is likely going to sell 98% of the available tickets AND have roughly 700 million people watch the final, and this somehow qualifies as a joke?
Seriously, bro, are you retarded?
Also, you frequently make grammatical errors.

I know, right?
Also, do you know how many previous World Cup games haven't been sold out?

Why, cause I have an opinion about not a single game being sold out at the biggest single sporting event in the world is a joke? (You should have heard Colin Cowherd's)

How you gonna call me retarded when you don't even know how many games the World Cup has?
This is classic. Guys resort to name calling, then tell me to go back to grade school. BTW, GVC's post always, and I mean always consist of him saying things like; wrong, retarded, stupid, idiot. Issues?

I made an error, true.
This is false. In general, I use those words when responding to ****ing morons. Like you, for example.
What was the point of you posting in this thread? Again, do you really think 98% attendance, given the participants and number of games (even ignoring the venue), and 700+ million viewers for the final constitute a joke?
If so, what sporting event of similar format (many teams playing many games from many locations) is not a joke?
As much as I hate to admit it, he has a point here. South Africa was only chose because of PC garbage that Africa has never hosted a World Cup. Now it's pretty obvious why they haven't, even though I don't think selling out every game is the sole measure of how successful the event will be.

A whole bunch of people are going to make a whole bunch of money, and hundreds of millions of people will be watching. Sounds like a joke to me.
No arguments here. That being said, I see and agree with the point that South Africa isn't the most optimal place to have the World Cup and got it solely because people felt like the continent needed to host the event. And it is the best choice from all the countries in Africa. Still, to me that's not saying a lot. I'm actually curious to see how well the security will hold up for the event. SA is a crime ridden place, but their govt. has had 8 or whatever years to plan for it.

A Cup draw got over double the viewers than the most watched super bowl ever.
