Your full of sh*t mate, 138.9 million viewers is absolutely nothing! Consdier the soccer world cup final and tell me thats a record? Now here's something you'll love, sourced info!

You imbecile. 138.9 million viewers in the USA only. And the comparison was between NFL and the RUWC. No one was arguing that the Soccer World Cup wasn't the highest rating sport event in the world.

How dumb are you really?

The RUWC final had 25 million viewers worldwide.

The Super Bowl had between 80 and 90 million viewers in the USA alone.

Work it out for yourself.

I read different figures on that, I heard it was 240 mil!
Anyway the fact remains he tried to say the last 10 super bowls were the biggest rating programs in TV history!
WELL! Apparently the BILLION PEOPLE who watched the Fifa World Cup final disagreed with that! #-o #-o #-o #-o

I didn't say anything of the sort.

It was a quote from the website and is specifically regarding television in the USA.

Open your eyes.

no, any sport that has no flow is not on IMO
once union gets some flow happening, a whistle blows for a penelty of unseen knock on or something stupid

Laatte etc

when O'neill was saying the minimum TV audience in Europe was 70 million for some of those RUWC games (when the minnows were playing) the figures were as low as 200,000. Get that - for the whole of the NH 200,000.

Where is your source of information?

To be honest mate I can't be bothered! I'll go to the trouble of getting sourced information when handing in an essay for uni,, but I'm not gonna waste my time trying to get sources to convince some american wannabe's... If they really love that yank shit it's up to them, it's late now, I've just got home, I'm pissed and I can't be bothered talking to some f**knut who wants to be a yank...

Quick question in regard to your avatar. Why does it have a bulldog as opposed to a Lion holding the mighty Kangaroo (although that picture doesn't do our 35 years of dominance much justuce...)

British Bulldog, Lion Heart

A wannabee Yank or a Roosters supporter.....

What a choice.

Have a nice day y'all.

Latte, you idiot... another fool who fell for Oneill's tripe during the RUWC. 240 million viewers? :lol:

It's amazing how many people Union have brainwashed into thinking their game is so massive worldwide. Outside of the two countries playing in the RUWC final, less than 0.1% of the world population bothered tuning in...
