Grobbelaar was just shooting his mouth off to a journalist - nothing ever proven..................it wasn't the Bundesliga, it was a pre-season German Cup match and............it's unclear how bad this Italian impropriety is just yet (but the signs don't look good).

Considering that it's the most popular sport in the world, a hell of a lot of people do.

Sorry, I don't have any stats (but do know that this is a foregone conclusion). This is common knowledge.

As long as the map or globe you are looking at is to scale, it can give you a very clear visual if that helps.

Look at the size of the United states (where even here there will be some interest) and then look at the rest of the entire world (no ecxeptions) and it's population (where stores, banks, churches, airports etc.) will close down on their countries match days.

The whole world will be watching.

The World Cup Final was watched by 54.1 million viewers in Japan alone.

The opening match of WC 2002 (Senegal vs. France) drew 500 million viewers worldwide.

Here we go:

"2.5 billion people saw the 2002 World Cup final between Germany and Brazil live, making it the largest single day viewing event in the world (3 billion live television viewers saw the 1998 World Cup final)."
