Pornhub World Cup Insights, France versus CroatiaCroatian traffic began rising in the second half of the game, while traffic from France steadily dropped.

“Perhaps some Croatians had given up hope of seeing their team win,” a site rep speculated.

After the game concluded, traffic remained lower than usual in France and “recovered quickly” in Croatia. “Perhaps Croatian fans were looking to cheer themselves up, while those in France were too busy celebrating.”

During a deeper dive into the numbers, Pornhub learned that “each time a match went into extra time, traffic saw a significant drop.

For example, while “none of France’s games went into overtime, they still saw big drops during each match. The semi-final game against Belgium saw almost as many fans tune out of Pornhub to watch their team play.”

Worldwide, traffic dropped by 11 percent during the World Cup, with Croatia (down 66 percent) and France (down 55 percent) recording the deepest plunge.
