Worlds Greatest Sporting Event

Tal said:

Its funny when the top events are listed that its not a stat but rather written by a soccer fan or someone. They mention "Rugby" world cup but go on and talk about "Rugby League"??????...in the same sentence!!...a dipstick obviously!!
I cant get too excited about soccer when the players over exaggerate their pain just so they can get a penalty or something....how many times do you see a player go down, arms flailing and lay motionless.When everyone gathers around he has a sore shin or something!???WTF????Give me rugby or rugby league any day!

Forgot to mention that 1/3rd of the world population watched the World Cup and actually paralized many countries for 90 minutes at the time, to the extent that in Mexico, Brazil, Germany and many other countries, factories and big construction companies are allowing employees time off to see the games, not bad at all

All y'all are talking absolute ****e....not a single citation to lend a shred of empirical credence to the avalanche of quoted statistics meaning like 95.49% of all stats they are most likely made up on the spot. So as a natural corollary of the former premise, the most popular/watched/attended/fiscally rewarding game ever played was my under 13's indoor hockey grand final at the Armadale rec centre where 17 spectators paid $3 to watch a dazzling display of sublime skills and enjoy a $2 coke/hotdog combo to boot - all rights reserved coz one day I'll write a book about the game....

...maybe not a book, maybe a novella, or perhaps a just a short story. In fact not a short story, just a brief essay, or maybe a single page synopsis of the essay...actually probably just a paragraph to remind myself to write myself a post-it to remind myself to write a book
