World Cup Tops 1 Billion Facebook Interactions

220 million users have talked soccer on the social media site since the June 12 kick-off

The World Cup continues to break world records on social media.

Per Facebook, 220 million users have posted more than one billion World Cup-related posts, comments and likes on the social media giant since the soccer tournament began on June 12.

Facebook generally sees a large amount of conversation around sporting events, but the World Cup is breaking records: Facebook’s data editors have never measured an event — sports or otherwise — that has topped a billion interactions. It helps, of course, when this “event” lasts for weeks at a time.
