I dunno. There's a hell of a lot of people without access to clean water, never mind the TV or the olympics.

They must be using each other as sources then. Think about it. We are 7B in the world...you're saying that mora than half are watching this....think about people with TV and living conditions that opt not to be watching this...then add the people who dont know what electric power is let alone a TV or a computer to watch a stream. Do you think there are enough people to have 4B watching? I think not...but that's just...my opinion :p

I don't think 4 billion sounds super crazy. Whole Europe is watching. Same with North and South America. Big parts of Asia probably watching aswell. Africa is on a good timezone aswell for this

It would have to be freekick distance, not penalty distance.
