Are they saying that only 284 million people watched the final WORLD-WIDE? No WAY is the figure that low, IMO.

By Kevin | October 24th, 2006 at 10:05 am The official figure for the World Final 2006 was 2.1 BILLION…
Those figures posted on here did not include the viewers in bars nor the 400 Million around the world who watched the game in the centre of the city they live on massive public screens…
All in all… USA, WHAT IS THIS SUPERBOWL THINGY?????????

By Kevin | October 24th, 2006 at 10:09 am I also forgot to mention that FIFA noted a 51% rise in total viewing figures for the whole tournament compared to 2002 which attracted a total of 22 total match viewing…. 3.5 times more that the planet Earths population… do you think we are a tad over-eager of our beloved sport? 2002 also raked in a total of 49.1 Billion viewing hours!!!! OH MY GOD! I haven’t seen that figure for 2006!!!!
All this can be found on the FIFA website.
