The world has about 6.5 billion people, of which only about 66% have a television. That leaves about 4 billion people. With China having about 1.3 billion people do we really think they will wake up at 3 am to watch a FIFA where their country is not participating? North American ratings are poor therefore NOT alot of people are watching from North America.
Additional Details
I understand people can watch the games on big screens or bars etc. but those individuals are not the demographic who do not own a TV. Its the parts of the world that do not have stable electricity, and care more about their next meal then a worldcup. Everyone flaunts the perception that Americans only think about America but sorry all you soccer fans you are falling into the same role, b/c not EVERYONE likes soccer/football.
Explain away 1.3 billion chinese, 1 billion East indian (#1 sport Cricket), 1 billion North Americans out of which maybe 500 million may watch...
