Yeah, me and alot of other people have been asking a lot of soccer questions here lately, but I really am curious. This question has been kind of asked in several places but I decided to turn it into poll form. As a hockey fan I have been hearing for years about how Forsberg is hero in Sweden, Fetisov is a hero in Russia, and Hasek is a hero is Czech land. But I also know soccer is very big in those countries as well. Is Hockey even close to as popular as soccer? So here is the poll I’m asking people to fill out. I invented two numbers to desribe it. First approximate number of people who have interest in the sport,(among those with a general in sports, Grammas who hate all of it don’t count). And second, of the people into it how fanatic are they? Do they live and die it?
As an example here is my estimation of the U.S.
sport interest fanatic.
Baseball 60 40
pro Football 55 70
pro Basketball 45 55
olympics 45 25
college football 40 75
college basketball 35 70
golf 35 40
Hockey 30 85
soccer 15 50
