For a sense of how truly enormous the FIFA World Cup is, consider this statistic. The last Super Bowl was watched by 128 million people, while the last World Cup Final was watched by 1.5 billion people—more than 10 times as many. The World Cup is not just the biggest soccer event on the planet, it’s a bona fide cultural phenomenon, sparking everything from wars (between Honduras and El Salvador in 1969) to seismic activity (Mexico’s 2018 defeat of Germany). Not to mention making household names of players from Pele and Maradona through Zidane and Beckham to Messi and Ronaldo.
