Not enough, to call it "The World Series" you must, at least
1.- Change the rules of the game, and to call it "chess" instead of e.g. "soccer chess"
2.- Put on armors over each player
3.- Put on beautiful girls screaming at each side of the table
4.- Lose all fear of ridicule, after all you will be seen only in your own country.

Major League baseball- 162 games per year for each team, not including playoffs and World Series.
You fail to distinguish between viewers sitting at home watching on TV and paying spectators who go to the stadium and watch the game for a considerable outlay of money. For the latter USA/Canada MLB at #1 draws 74 million paying spectators per year with Japan Nippon Baseball League #2 at 22 million per year. Add up all of professional soccer in all of the countries participating in the World Cup and it doesn't come close. Those are, as you say, the maths!
Ah, silly me, it's about money, then the math is still incomplete, you must consider the price of the tickets, but even so, the reasoning is wrong.
As a single spectator can attend many matches, statistically is more accurate to take average attendance, otherwise you would count the same "paying spectator" more than once, and that's cheating. 😀
In your mind perhaps, but the demand for MLB is such that, as SY noted, there are 162 games per regular season played by each team. I realize soccer couldn't hope to draw fans nearly every day from the end of March until late September so you must stack the comparison your way to have a chance. But MLB does draw fans every day for half of the year. Twist the math however you choose but MLB is far more successful at putting a$$es in the seats.😀
Hi all.
So I have misseed alot and gravity was explained in the mean time.
Where is my flying car then ? 😀
Where is my spaceship ???
Should be very easy to create a shield from something, that we know well.
About expanding, what if the universe, as we can perceive it with very retarded senses, is actually shrinking and C goes down at higher rate, than the shrink rate ?
We would still "see" it as expanding. 😱
Cheers

If nothing else, this thread is oddly consistent.
It's gone from "what does this stuff mean?" all the way to "what does this stuff mean?"

Hi everyone,
Just FYI, Brazil are playing Holland RIGHT NOW, so turn on your TV's.
It's the 10th minute and currently 0 - 1, BRA - NED.

Alright, that first goal was a penalty kick, sure the guy touched his shoulder, but he fell way too easily.
27th minute, free kick awarded on goal, the guy that fell was never touched at all!
32nd minute, ANOTHER intentional fall, another free kick on goal awarded.
We need a new sport, called "full contact soccer", which is like a mixture of soccer and Taekwondo.
I'd pay to watch that.
