World Cup

If you're FIFA, are you more worried about pushing your brand and product in the U.S. which is the biggest market in the world or in Morocco or Ghana? Of course they're going to try to make it more viewable to their biggest audiences.

FIFA got plenty of self inflicted problems this WC. USSF isn’t the only organization pushing wokeness in a country FIFA went to bed with financially that would deliver severe penalties for the expression of such wokeness. Heck, no beer at a soccer game?

I was looking at it from the position you closed with, offensive position. Sorry I didn’t explain further.

in other words they admit selling out to the media…. glad someone finally admitted it, cause a whole lot of others probably have as well


Television contract dictates times. American television pays top dollar and pays for the right to pick time slots. Last WC, I didn’t see a match, was working a few hours difference in time zone. Wall to wall coverage is an American thing.

I’m not a soccer dude. Can someone explain the difference between a yellow card and red card, beside the color?

Severity of the penalty.

If you get a yellow, you can still play. It's a caution. But if you get a second one in the same game then it converts to a red. If you get a yellow in two consecutive games, then you have to sit out the next game.

Red cards for more serious conduct. They result in an immediate dismissal from the game, and the team cannot substitute for that player and must play shorthanded the rest of the game. Also it means that you miss the next game.

Oh, and SUCK IT E-RAN!!!!

I just explained that its not really weird. They catered to the largest market in the world for a reason.

72 minutes still up 1.

Where’s the complaints about cultural appropriations? Seems every game has fans wearing their colors wrapped up like middle eastern head garb.
