Would you agree that the NCAA Tourney is the greatest tournament in sports?

I think tournament wise NCAA crushes it. Not in world popularity, but in format

I think that's your bias, because the excitement is not even comparable. You

Not if you're American.. in general. World Cup is popular amongst the niche hipster market because of it's diversity.

Even the women's world cup final drew more viewers than the NBA finals

I'm sure you're forgetting that you're talking about worldwide viewers vs a domestic NCAA event.. but I'll forgive you.

Oh don't worry, domestic WC numbers still handily beat college basketball

You're telling me that 25.4 million US viewers watched the womens world cup?

Yes there is: the world cup. The group stage kicks it off with nonstop socka

Even in World Cup you can have a bad game and still win it all. You just can't

That's entirely true. The knockout stages are one-off.

I love how the World Cup combines round robin and then single-elimination into a single tournament
