[Dr. Sivana]

Which is why we, as the most powerful nation in the world, with the best athletes in the world, have never won the biggest and most prestigious sporting event in the world.

It isn't the most prestigious sporting event in the world. 90+% of the world's largest economy is indifferent to it. If the U.S. decided to train/buy players to win the World Cup, we would be dancing to their tune. L.A. doesn't need an NFL team to be a big league city . . . the U.S. doesn't need the World Cup to be a big league country.

What messes with their heads more is that we don't even care about soccer, and won't call it football or futbol or whatever.

When all else fails, just make up a number.

106 million people watched the last Superbowl, almost all of them in the US. 715 million people throughout the world watched the last World Cup final game. The whole match had a cumulative viewership of 26 billion. That's an average of 406 million viewers per game, for 64 games, for a whole month.

The Superbowl is the most prestigious pro sports event in the US.

The World Cup is by far the most prestigious pro sports event in the world.
