I personally think the sports are way to out dated.

But it does invite and opportunity for the whole world to get together.

The FIFA World Cup achieves that in a more exciting manner.

A lot of not-so-well-off people gain pleasure from things like the FIFA world cup - in a sense games like football are their only hope at a new life.
