Copa América is on and Euro 2016 starts today!

So how many of you have been watching the copa America, considering that the final stages of being held here in the United States I would presume that the following would be, but unfortunately the numbers are not as good as everybody thought they would be, there has been a large increase in the following soccer past five years here in the US, however this event really didn’t bring the numbers that were expected.

Yesterday in Philadelphia during Uruguay and Venezuela the cameras would shoot on the crowd only to show massive empty spaces, basically so far 35% of the tickets have been sold due to enormously high prices and the facilities are mostly college football stadiums and therefore there is no shade, there are no adequate facilities, nothing like USA 90 where the standards and upgrades had to fit FIFA requirements and in my case it was a great success because the investment was massive and if they wanted the World Cup here in the United States they have to provide everything that they did not provide this time around.

The most amusing thing and from what I understand has never occurred before in the history of worldwide software is that two major events will overlap one another starting from today, it is a matter of fact that Euro 2016 will kick off today at noon Pacific starting obviously with the home team France playing Romania.

So if you are a soccer fan and I know there are millions just like me here in the United States, tomorrow Saturday will be something absolutely exceptional taking into consideration that there will be two Copa America games and free to be held in France for Euro 2016 and believe it or not there will be no overlapping and therefore if you want to watch each and every individual game live, you actually can!

So let’s pull some stats here and let’s see how many people in the United States have been watching the continental event, unfortunately the numbers on very low and less than 13 million Tuned in on average every game, that is less than 5% of the population.

Now, let’s turn to Brazil that has basically the same number when it comes down to general population, over there the average viewer per game is 61 million.

Okay, now let’s go over to your and the predictions of today’s inauguration game to be seen by roughly 6,000,000 Americans, while in Europe the UEFA organization claimed the game will be seen by 87 million Europeans.

I love statistics as you can see LOL!
