These are the most researched "sports" words on Google in 2017

Tic-tac, tic-tac… The clock’s ticking is beating the lesser hours that still miss the arrival of 2018. Anxiety, uh? Have you already planned everything for the 31? No? That’s too bad. If you want to distract your mind from this heavy thoughts - btw, remember the lentils - you can document yourselves about the various classifications that, as every December, crowd the internet. But if the most part of them are just rubbish, some could be truly interesting. For example, the ones just released by Google, that unveiled the data about the researchers made on its engines in 2017. Spoiler: there’s no Amato Ciciretti.

According to the data from the American colossus, in the Top10 of the most researched people of 2017, there’s only one player, Philippe Coutinho, while the most researched athletes is a boxeur - of course, Floyd Mayweather - in the seventh tier. Football is relegated in the last positions also when it comes to the most googled sports event of 2017, with the podium that belongs to Wimbledon, the Super Bowl, and the legendary fight between Floyd and Conor McGregor. The Russian Confederations Cup, the NBA Playoffs, and the Champions League are in the last three spots on the chart.

It’s quite different for the researchers made in Italy, where of course football holds more honorable places. In the third position among the most researched words in 2017, there’s “Italy-Sweden” (ouch!), while the Champions League is the tenth. Gigio Donnarumma is the only footballer among the most googled characters, while the unfortunate Wordl Cup playoff has also been the most researched event in Italy. Any predictions for 2018? We’d say: “What have I to do if my team didn’t qualify for the World Cup?”.
