I can't believe you honestly believe the Super Bowl gets more viewers globally than soccer. Don't get me wrong, I can't stand scoccer, but I believe that numbers wise, it is the most watched sport in the world.

A quick look thru Google reveals . . .
"Football (Soccer) is the biggest spectator sport in the world, with angling as the world biggest participant sport. The World Cup is, after the Olympics, the most watched sport on television."
So that would make The Wolrd Cup the single most watched individual sport (game). My guess is that the Super Bowl is far, far behind numbers wise.
Don't believe the hyperbole ABC chits out at you.
Oh yeah, that would be another thing America is greatest at, marketing and hyperbole.

Football,,,,,hmmmmmm
A sport (at the professional level) is a sport that requires excellent physicall as well as mental conditioning. Bike riding for example. They are some of the most physically fit people on the planet, and requires you to mentally think so much more than many of the other sports. Football you get all cought up on breath, look at a play book, get calls from your coach and then act upon them for like 10 seconds at the most. Bike riding (mountain bike for example) you pound the single track for a good length of time and never stop for a breather, switch out and watch 1/2 the time, you have to see every situation ahead of you and act upon that in a split second. You have no components, just your inner devil pushing you to the max. At least the bike people will live a long life and not die of a heart attack.

oh yea, and vehicles. Anyone can make a vehicle that gets down the 1/4 in no time. A real vehicle accelerates like crazzy, stops on a dime and carves the corners like its on rails. How many US cars can compete with the cars across the pond. Not many of them, what 3.....at the most???

Oh boy, this is perfect (Habibi rubbing hands together)
While you guys squabble amongst yourselves over who has a bigger dink, Canada will now invade America and take it over.
First thing we will do is appoint a liberal Frenchman into every major office, increase the welfare cheques for the hungry, and give all the single mothers a big fat raise, all at the taxpayers expense.
Next we will cancel the army, and trade in our guns for big orange place cards which read "Help the poor"
Woo hoo, the Canadian dream will soon be a reality.

This post wasn't a flame-starter, at least it wasn't meant to be.
Kobiashi knows America is the chit; otherwise, why would he be here? There are no laws preventing anyone from leaving the US, I don't think~ as long as you have your shots & passport!
I've been to Tokyo, Japan twice and Seoul, Korea a bunch or times; I had a chance to go to Shanghai, China for a two-year assignment in 1998, but I turned it down. Aside from America, Germany is the only other country I'd even consider living in, aside from the US of A. As nice & clean as Germany is, you don't see me trying to 'sprechen sie duetsch' to leave this country; not permanently anyway.
I don't want to have to start singing Lee Greenwood songs in here....
"If tomorrow all the things were gone, I'd worked for all my life; and I had to start again, with just my children and my wife... Well I'd thank my lucky stars, to be living here today, 'cause this flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that awaaaaaaay"
Sing it with me.... And I'm proud to be an American....
