I don't get the point, those are hardly the only countries watch world cup. For a event like world cup final, it's the single most important match in 4 years. It won't just attract fans from the countries that are in the final.
For example, the 2006 world cup attracted 4 billion viewers from China, and their team was not even playing.[1]

- cbr 11y ago> 4 billion viewers from China Something suspicious about that...
- akfanta 11y agoHow so? When you count viewership, of course they will combine number of viewers from each match, considering most of the viewers will tune in for just a few matches. This is common sense, I don't think there is anything suspicious about that.
- cc438 11y agoThink of it more like 4 billion "views". If 1 person watches 6 matches they count as 6 "viewers" for those statistics. It makes sense if you're trying to track retainment for an event that's broken up into several instances.
