Elon Musk notes that "the sheer number of really smart, hardworking people in China is incredible."https://t.co/4mt0CIvgIW

"There's far more of them there than there are here, in my opinion. And they've got a lot of energy."

"The architecture in China in recent years is far more impressive than the US. The train stations, the buildings, the high-speed rail… it's really far more impressive than what we have."

The World Cup games are really something else. Beyond the competition and the games themselves—which are fantastic—there’s this incredible element of how people from different countries interact with each other.
People bring their unique personalities and nationalities, and everyone just gets along with so much respect. Whether it’s the Scots bringing their spirit and bagpipes to the games, or the Japanese fans cleaning up the stadium after a match, it’s a beautiful reflection of what the United Nations—and all countries—should be.
It brings out a joy, laughter, and a warmth that gives us a real element of optimism. We should learn from this whole experience of what it's like to be together, and how we can be together.

Not-entirely-trollish suggestion: I think the World Cup should pause for ~3 days in between the group and knockout stages so people can fill out brackets.

Granted, mostly an American thing, but this is a very important mechanism for the NCAA tournament for bringing in casuals.

@adamcarolla This guy could have easily won a presidential election. Not anymore. The new socialist movement will swallow him and spit him out

@BrotherRasheed @wierdduk This is a very good idea. NFL playoffs is the best system

[Brother Rachid الأخ رشيد @BrotherRasheed]

The World Cup knockout system is unfair.

A team can dominate its group, collect more points, and still get punished with a much harder path. Meanwhile, another team can barely qualify with fewer points and face an easier opponent simply because of a fixed bracket.

Example: Morocco finished strong with 7 points, yet faces the Netherlands. Senegal barely survived with fewer points but may get a softer route.

The solution is simple: reseeding.

After the group stage, rank all 32 qualified teams based on performance:
points, goal difference, goals scored, and group position.

Then:
#1 plays #32
#2 plays #31
#3 plays #30
And so on.

This is how many American sports leagues protect competitive fairness. The NFL, for example, reseeds playoff teams so the highest remaining seed faces the lowest remaining seed.

The World Cup should reward performance, not punish it. @FIFAcom @FIFAWorldCup

@BlackLabelAdvsr It is growing in popularity, but slowly. I think you’re right about the other things but have you watched the NBA lately. Talk about flopping and arbitrary rules
