Personally no.

More and more I'm starting to believe that world cup is slowly loosing it's glare. Just like with the Olympics every new Championship will have weaker public interest than the last.

Statistics don't back up that argument though. While the Olympics may not sell out completely, the percentage of tickets sold relative to tickets available has been 90% or more since the 2008 Summer Olympics.

And even on an entertainment level I personally thought the Paris Olympics was an amazing event (sickness from swimming in the Seine aside).
