Since 6649 DaysWhat kind of nonsense Sport allows ties, and worse scoreless matches?
Since 6468 DaysThe Germany-Ghana match was slow for the 1st half, then in the 2nd half when they realised where they were, both teams suddenly woke up. The 2nd half had everything you'd expect from a brilliant football match and only one booking in the very last minute.
I really want USA vs Portugal to be just as entertaining, maybe more so.
Could the heat have something to do with the amount of surprising outcomes?

Since 6468 DaysNow extra time is literally a mini-match. Players and teams know what time it is when Golden Goal is around, the quality of football significantly improves.
But Fifa seem intent on dragging things out as much as possible, stretch viewing time as much as possible until penalties, then and only then is it really sudden death.

Since 6732 DaysThe game runs relatively fast, especially when compared to popular American sports like football, baseball, and basketball.
Baseball being the biggest offender where games run excruciatingly long. 3-4 hrs every time on average. Basketball isn't interesting till the last 4 minutes of the final quarter.
Hockey is probably the only other sport that maintains a fairly accurate running time to what they put on the clock.
The games will improve in quality as it progresses which is obvious. Also quality depends on who's in the match too
There are few commercials (I watch on Univision)
The only thing I would say they could do, is bring down the size of the field some. It seems excessive as a lot of players can go without running for long spans of time.
If I'm calculating right, most don't go much over 5-6 miles a match which isn't a lot
Since 6649 DaysIn Basketball it's easy - whoever has the most scores wins. Teams go on runs pretty often, so its very easy to follow the action. Even Football the team that's getting closer to the goal is doing a better job. Soccer - just kick it around for a while.
The athletes are another problem. They're all paid actors and babies. They'd rather pretend they got injured in hopes of a free kick than get back up and score. Once they realize it ain't comin' they get up and act like nothing happened. And they miss so often its infuriating. I've watched students playing Soccer and they actually demonstrate the sport better so I don't get why paid athletes are so subpar.
Since 6732 DaysThe last Croatia match it wasn't even close. Same with France in their last one.
Also it's cool that a mistake can cost another team dearly no matter how good they are. Just like in hockey if you turn the ball over you could be screwed.
A lot of times it breaks back and forth at high speed.
You can't really call soccer players actors and babies without recognizing that basketball is just as bad and they're getting paid twice as much in a lot of cases. (see Lebron cramping in game 1 against Spurs)
At least in soccer it's physical and they take some legit damage to their body.
Also basketball is just dribbling back and forth for hours and shooting into a hoop. Really you don't have to watch a basketball game till the very end, it's the only portion that matters.
Baseball and football players are just as big of pussies too. They play through jack squat and keep themselves out of full seasons because they can with those salaries.
I'd argue the only tough athletes play hockey or rugby. I've seen hockey players play through fractured faces, broken jaws, broken legs and punctured lungs.
The reason why you see amateur teams with higher rates of offense is because the athletes aren't on the same level. Look at college basketball/football and compare to the pros. The college sports don't have the systems or discipline in place so they just go off and while there is a lot of offense they play like crap and can't handle the next level.
Since 6649 DaysThey are. Basketball refs are at least assigning fines to floppers, but even the worst floppers know to get their lying ass up off the ground if the whistle doesn't blow. And none of them would rather lie on the ground than put 2 on the board. Lying on the ground holding yourself and sobbing just to get back up and run down the field is embarrassing to your entire sport. Worse is when one flops, the person who collided with them flops harder to make it look like they weren't at fault. Ridiculous.
Again, you call it domination/professionalism I call it boring. The only excitement in sports comes when athletes perform and performance is associated with either stopping scores or making scores. I've seen some great Goalie saves, but 10x more misses and flops. And some ridiculous passing attempts at wide open goals. Someone claims Soccer is fixed, and I'm partial to believe it given FIFA's reputation, the terrible referee calls and the horrific misses. But you could make that claim for all sports, only differences is they could be less BORING.
Since 6732 DaysWell yeah Fifa is corrupt
Since 6468 DaysWell yeah Fifa is corrupt
Ronaldo had that cross that came out of nowhere and then bang. It all happened so fast.
With 39 seconds left, Bradley could have done anything except for what he did and USA would have won.

Since 6468 DaysBradley caused the draw, usually it's hard to determine a catalyst, but he literally cost his team the win.
The more I watch it, the more apparent it gets, and the more disgusting it looks.

Portugal and Ghana will have to win by a wide margin to be able to surpass the US.

Since 6732 DaysI have a suspicion nothing will come of it
Also the penalties in these games lately have confused me. There's a real neglect for calling PK's towards the end of games and teams are getting lots of Red Cards where they're facing elimination
