I'm not talking necessarily about how many people watch it. I will probably watch it. It's football, live on my TV. On a Saturday night.
But I, and many other people, don't care about the result. Nothing is at stake (exception if Brazil Argentina).
Olympics matches still have something to play for, even if they are still essentially an under 21 tournament.
