what suprised me was the lack of errors during the game up until the last quarter.. the interception was the game winner, very poor coverage by the colts. but as a spectacle v other superbowls.. was great, fast paced with lots of completed passes. was over quite quickly too coz of it heh.

now that the saints got it out of their system.. can the eagles win it again next year plz? always so close... (easily the most constistent play off contenders in last 30 years or so yet 1 superbowl and mega fail)

[CorNokZ]

Can you get me thru to da Super Bowl again? No? Aww shiiit!

Theres my point.

[Olgaline]

not even remotly close!

yeh yeh some random sites cliam up to 1 billion viewers world wide,
thats likely a bunch of cocky pop.. the number of american viewers who
tuned in was roughly 100mill now if you add 40-50 mill to that of "over sea"
viewers then you have your realistic number.


Now compare that to the 715million that watched the Fifa 2006 WC final.


I Like the NFL and I love watching the Superbowl..but when it comes to pure numbers, and logic...?

it dosent begin to come close to the Number of people who play or watch Football.

I'm fairly sure more people tune in to watch Man utd vs Arsenal twice a year.

;//edit, from wiki, so not he most reliable but:

Outside North America, Super Bowl XLII was distributed by the NFL and NFL International. Overall, the game was available to an estimated potential audience of one billion viewers within 223 countries and territories.[51] However, viewing figures outside North America rose only marginally on previous years with an estimated 10 million people tuning in from outside the USA, Canada and Mexico for an overall global audience in the region of 114 million.

Dick Stockton

and

Sterling Sharpe

Yup something like that ch3tan,
thing is, amercans love to blow things out of porportion,
Biggest show on earth! World champions, ect ect

imagine if all the football national leage chanpions declared them selvs world champions

[soze]

I though Sky's coverage was really good except Cecil seemed to have a lisp this week which pissed me off. Two brave decisions paid off to settle the game the coach showed some balls and got lucky both times it was a good game all in all though.

I think he meant that it was the most viewed sport event in USA. 106mill.. which is a fact.

[Olgaline]

The worlds most viewed one day event in the USA
naturally, that makes sence.

[CorNokZ]

The WC final is not a single day event. It is a tournament. The Superbowl is ONE game consisting of the AFC and the NFC champions. Much like the Europa League vs. the Champions League winners playing one another for a new trophy. If you try to convince me that the Super Bowl is a tournament I'll have to block you and neg rep you.. Hard

[Olgaline]

what a load of ...#

the NFL is built up more or less like any other tournement out there

with group stages, play offs and a final...

so bring it on Fanboi.
