Seattle Sounders minority owner Drew Carey has claimed that the football World Cup is in a different league to the Super Bowl in terms of popularity.
Carey, who is a member of the US World Cup bid committee, said of the tournament returning to America for the first time since 1994: “It’ll be like having three Super Bowls a day in the United States – that’s how big it is.
“The Super Bowl doesn’t even exist compared to the World Cup.”
Comedian and actor Carey believes that a World Cup in the US would set attendance and financial records that wouldn’t be matched “in 100 years”.
He added: “I’m excited about the World Cup in South Africa but it’s been a chore to get the country ready to host it.
“I think after all that, I‘m hoping the people that vote on [the World Cup host] will say, ‘Let’s just go to a place where we don’t have to go through all that bother again and where they’re ready to go’, and they’ll vote on [the USA] to have it.”
