Agreed. I'd say football is the sport of the world and the World Cup is like the showcase of immortals.
The Olympics is full of sports nobody really cares about, who has parties in the street when their county wins a gold medal?
And the Super Bowl is pretty much the FA Cup of American Football.
There's no other international competition that evokes the same passion and intensity as the World Cup, each competition is wildly different and you can never write a team off. Just wish Scotland could actually qualify for one, I was too young to really remember 98.
