Does anyone give a shit about football in those countries though?
Soccer is huge in China
Domestic soccer?
The Chinese Super League had 6.1million tickets sold last season. It is a pretty decent size league.
Yeah but what about football?
Technically it would be 足球
It's something people cannot comprehend even on a personal level. I don't care about the world cup for now. People will want to talk about the last game and cannot fathom why I am not watching a 110min game where nothing happens.
Chinese, Indians: They may not give a shit or watch some leagues from Europe if they are into football.
It's obviously fine if you're not interested, but it seems unnecessarily aggressive to say "a 110min game where nothing happens". It also shows how little you know about the sport. Even if they go to overtime (which can only happen in direct elimination matches), that would be 90+30 = 120.
Yeah! Plenty happens! Like a bunch of grown ass men dramatically throwing themselves on the ground pretending to be hurt!
I agree with you, but just wanted to point out maybe they were calculating with the halftime break, so 45+15+45=105 and added some average extra time to get to their number

Yeh I don't think they care much, or try really..
