World Cup Thread

Actually, in fairness to South Africa I believe not all the games in South Korea/Japan sold out, and I thought that was a pretty damn good WC. Sometimes it's hard for the local populace to get interested in a Uruguay/Denmark game, and both those countries are damn far away from the venue.

They technically sold out (games were sold in packages, but if you looked in the stands many games were not fully attended). Same thing will probably happen in SA. They released the unsold/returned tickets today to the general public and sold over 60,000 of the remaining 160,000. It's pretty likely that the games will sell out.

Security is a concern for sure, and travelers are being given specific instructions of where to be, what to have with them and what to not have with them, etc. Brazil will probably be worse, in my opinion.
 
The cumulative audience of all matches of the 2006 World Cup is estimated to be 26.29 billion

To put this in perspective, if every regular season NBA game were watched by 20 million people, they'd still fall short of the 2006 World Cup's cumulative viewership (20 million X 1230 games = 24.6 billion). Further, Game 6 of the NBA finals had a viewership of only 15.7 million people.

2010 World Cup South Africa

Will anyone else be watching this for the next month and a half like me? The United States chances of getting out of the group stages are pretty decent. It will be tough for us to beat England but it's not impossible. I'd be happy with a 1-1 tie, and it would do them good to score a goal in the first game.

I will also be following the Uruguay and Mexico teams. Although they both have to deal with the host country which is never easy. It would do our region good if Mexico got out of the group stages and I had a friend way back in the day that ws was Uruguay so that is might sentimental favorite.

A pretty big pre-world cup match is being played today in Philly versus Turkey ( ESPN 11:30 MST). We could be seeing the starters for the June 11 USA-England match.

Prediction for the starting 11

Altidore - Dempsey

Beasley - Clark-Bradley- Donovan

Boca- Onyewu-Goodsen-Dolo

Howard

Subs: Fehilhaber,Findley & Holden.

Come on, now. Everyone knows the World Cup is a joke. They can't even sell out a match. Total joke.
