I'm originally from Mexico, and I think he mostly got lucky. Every shot he blocked came towards him, he really only had to deflect. But I'm definitely rooting for Mexico, and I'm surprised how well the team is playing, relative to last few times I've seen them play anyways.

Germany vs Ghana has been the best match of the World Cup for me so far.

A-fucking-greed. These matches typically bore the shit out of me whenever they keep missing, but since they did so much scoring before it started it was bearable. Was really rooting for Ghana. Shame about that tie.

What kind of nonsense Sport allows ties, and worse scoreless matches?

I think it's a lot to do with trying to preserve the uniqueness of going to extra-time then going into penalties. Fifa do a lot of things that don't make sense purely for entertainment purposes, case in point, Bosnia's disallowed goal because they insist on leaving the offside decisions to one man.

The 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?

They need a sudden death instead of over time, where the goalies are removed. I don't even know why they're allowed to begin with. 20 players on the field is more than enough. If they like they can shrink the goal size, they don't hit it anyway.

There used to be "Golden Goal", first goal in extra-time advances at the knockout stages, closest thing to sudden death, removed purely because someone high enough appealed when in 2002 South Korea managed to destroy Italy with a golden goal and advance all the way to the semi-finals to eventually just about lose to Germany. Then I think it was "silver goal" where if a team scores before the 2nd half of extra time, they win (but they still play the 1st half out to the last minute).

Now 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.

as someone who considers themselves a novice to the sport, I think it's anything but boring

The 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

I agree with Baseball, but hell no to the others. There's no meaningful progression. It's either score a goal or kick around a ball for 90mins, there's no in between. No team is doing better than the other until there's a score.

In 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.

In soccer a team can control a game with possession and easily dominate or look superior to another team. You make it sound as if it's always dead even.
The 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.

You can maintain possession of the ball in every sport and doing so without scoring makes it boring. Dallas Cowboys Football. March up the field for a half hour and fumble/interception. And it is dead even when half the matches end in a tie or scoreless. You call it domination, I call it downright boring. It is nice that there's a low threshold between winning and defeat, but even Hockey does a much better job of keeping the excitement level high while doing that.

They 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.

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.

Bradley and USA defense are both guilty of this goal. Bradley for loosing the ball in the center, and the defense because they were way to slow coming back to defend that cross. If you see the replay you can see they were walking coming back.

If Bradley just kicks the ball away, or even fouls, or just lets it fly past him USA win. ANYTHING but what he did then the defence doesn't have to deal with his mess, after he messed up it was probably under 10 touches before the ball found the back of the net.

Bradley 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.

Oh sure Bradley have the full blame for this. No doubt about it, but I think the defense could have done more to. Oh well I still think USA will go trough even if they loose again Germany. They just need to make sure that if they loose again Germany, it isn't by a wide margin.

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

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

Suares should get a banned from the World Cup after that, but knowing FIFA, they will probably set the banned after the World Cup end. The guy is a cnut.
