At least that's what The Times of India wants you to believe. Its July 11 editorial says that 32 billion people watched the 2006 World Cup.
Now, since the earth's population is only around six billion, I assume the daily conducted a survey in nearby galaxies and found that the 26 billion aliens on planets Zzor, Bimbor and Galifa were also ardent fans of the game.
That's not all. The editorial also talks about the record four red cards in the England-Portugal tie. Mr Know-nothing-about-the-World-Cup-and-still-writing-TOI-editorial should kindly take note that the four red cards were issued in the infamous Portugal-Netherlands match.
There might have been more bloopers in the piece but I was so disgusted I didn't bother to finish it. Wotsay?

football viewership is counted in terms of viewership for all 64 matches. This is how FIFA calculates viewership. So it's matter of point of view rather than an error
ReplyDeletenishit: i guess u r right but then saying that "32 billion people watched" the World Cup is obviously an error.
