Men more excited about women's World Cup

Men are more excited about the upcoming women's football World Cup than women, a poll published in host country Germany showed Wednesday, 11 days before the event kicks off. Sixty-three percent of men surveyed are looking forward to the event from June 26 to July 17 compared to 43 percent of women, according to the poll conducted by German weekly Die Zeit.
Sixty percent of men thought women's football was attractive, compared to just 45 percent of women. Around half of both sexes thought the event would be as successful as the men's World Cup in Germany in 2006, the poll showed.
