Thoroughly deserved win for Spain.

Remarkable, considering the players tried to get the coach sacked last year.

Yeah, they were probably not looking at ESPN or any outlet that would spoil the outcome for them and probably thought it was safe to browse here because NOBODY TALKS ABOUT FUTBOL ON HERE.

Bit of a nasty shock for them, eh?

Mind you, I don't think you're wrong for posting an actual "current event" on this forum but I can understand why they're taken aback that the result would be posted here.

It seems CE does the opposite. If I had just made a regular Spain wins World Cup. A bunch of people would say who cares.

I asked why no topics and suddenly a bunch of people care about Soccer even to say I am posting spoilers for sports lol.

Eh, you made a topic
People responded

I don't think that implies that people "care" about the actual subject at hand

Personally, I saw Spain's goal, turned away (it was 6:30 am ffs) and turned back to catch the last 25 minutes or so. I didn't really care since I neither had a rooting interest or personal respect for either side but as a lover of nearly all things "sport," I wanted to know the result.

Thinking on it, it's probably the least I've watched of any WC Final (men's or women's) since 2002.

Soccer is the most boring sport next to golf and baseball is why. 1-0 scores per game are not entertaining. Only reason people care here is if its the US thats winning.

Cricket out-borings the three of those combined.

Did you think that maybe some of us arent looking at ESPN explicitly because we dont want to know?

Its my own fault for checking CE for other stuff this morning, but I think most posters here are North American based, and therefore wouldnt have known the outcome unless they watched the game at 1 am or whatever, not freakin likely.

Most of CE doesn't care because

2. It's women's soccer

Even during the college basketball tournament this spring, most of CE ignored the women's games.

Tbf, the women's have consistently done better than the men's could ever dream of.

And all they got from the royal family and PM was a 'go play with a smile!' you'd tell a 8 year old.

Yup. And even then due to the constantly evolving plot lines and their frequent use in promotions the spoiler period is very short.

But unscripted sporting events, spoilers would be silly. Like we'd have to mod people about talking about the outcome of the Super Bowl.

The US isn't as unique as you think it is. There are eight countries that have more than 150 Million people, and soccer is the most popular sport in three of those countries. China and India alone combine for 2.8 Billion people (35% of the World population) and neither of those countries has soccer as their top sport. Even in South America and Europe there are countries that prefer other sports: Venezuela, Ireland and Finland.
