I don't know about that. Most hyped sporting event maybe. I perfer The Open Championship. Much more interesting courses and weather conditions. Really tests the players, both long and short hitters.

In terms of numbers of people following it (tv and radio) soccer's World Cup Final is the greatest sporting event. Over 3.2 Billion people watched/listened in 2002.

Only played once every four years, after a two year, worldwide qualifying tournament and then a final tournament of 32 qualifers.

And if you had been on tv that day, 6.3 billion would have had terminal narcolepsy.

Well, add another billion or so nappers for this Sunday.

No doubt it's a great event with a great setting. One of the Top Ten annual sporting events, but not THE greatest.

If it's MLS you're probably correct. Otherwise......don't let facts get in your way
