Introduce yourself in 4-5 sentences.* My name is Fouled or most people just call me Sli, which is what I mainly prefer. I'm a normal grade 10 student who enjoys playing sports; mainly soccer (football) & cross-country, hanging out with friends and roasting Ethan. I've been on this server for about 3-4 years and they've been quite interesting at times. My favourite subjects in school are science and phys ed, which is a reason to why I want to be an engineer in the future. My favourite soccer (football) team is Barcelona :^) *What are you most excited/obsessed over at the moment?* Nike equipment, mainly shoes. Don't ask lol *What interests you most in life?* Music and sports. *What music/art/media do you like?* Eh, I don't really have a specific genre of music that I like, but if I had to choose one it would probably be either rap or EDM. For movie genres I mainly like action/adventure/thriller/comedy. Some recent movies that I've watched are the edge of tomorrow, ride along and deadpool. *Where are you from?* Canada, where bagged milk is found *What are the most common questions you get asked while moderating?* "How do I apply for staff?" and "Can you check my report?" are probably the most common questions that I get asked, but i'm probably missing some. Most of the things that people say in-game are usually statements. *Anything else you want to mention?* Ethan made me do this
Can we not start another war on Football vs Soccer Different people call it differently Make a different thread if you want to argue lol, not here on Sli's wonderful spotlight :(
Nah American Football is the real deal. NFL! It's been more popular than Soccer for a while in the US, and it will be the most popular sport in the world soon.

Brazil 2014 World Cup: more than 1,000 journalists covered the
event.
On the other hand, Super Bowl 46 was covered by 5,156
people.
The commercials: During the 2010 World Cup final, Spanish channel Telecinco, for example, charged between $200,000 and $350,000 per commercial.
On the other hand, a 30-second spot during halftime of Super Bowl 46 could cost up to $4 million.
World Cup record attendance: 68,991
Super Bowl record: 103,985
Daily earnings: Thanks to the sponsors and TV audience, the 2006 Germany World Cup earned $103 million per day.
For its part, the Super Bowl has an average daily yield of $379 million, including commercials and publicity sales.
I could go on, but you have to think about something else. It's a more complicated question than it appears. The Super Bowl is an annual event, while the World Cup is held every four years. That fact tends to de-emphasize the Super Bowl while increasing interest in the World Cup. Super Bowl viewership is quite accurately known, while World Cup viewership can only be roughly estimated. It's not clear either that World Cup viewers sat and watched continuously, as they do with the Super Bowl. Further, the massive viewership often cited of 1+ billion is not from a reputable source, but from FIFA, which has, shall we say, rather a spotty history of honesty. More dispassionate sources put the viewership at 200-300 million - still respectable, but far from the global reach FIFA has claimed.
Also you gotta think of the halftime show man, does the World Cup have anything like that?
