@vgrechannik @fitzfromdublin Brother what is this

[Braylon Breeze @Braylon_Breeze]

The lack of any post-match for Fox’s World Cup coverage sucks.

Canada/Qatar ends on FS1 & the broadcast literally ends ten seconds after the final whistle. We’re then told to switch over to Fox…where they’re showing James Corden clips.

A big moment for Canada just gets shoved.

@bangg26 @IowaHoops Carver is a lovely arena

[Hammerhawk @Hammerhawk30]

There’s no quarters in Soccer, quit peddling that nonsense @TNTerens

[Hammerhawk @Hammerhawk30]

@dilanesper Soccer isn’t “getting popular” though. It’s already widely televised internationally without such breaks.

It's starting to rain in San Diego in June, one of the sunniest and dryest summer climates ... because NASCAR is in town

lol

Its just a heavy mist but still ...

The World Cup has been great so far, and FIFA is selling a lot of tickets. The cynicism about a 48-team format wasn't really warranted.
However, it does create some awkwardness, with group-stage games being low-stakes and a weird bracket. The solution? Expand to 64.

@agameganon Incredible take that the most successful sporting nation can’t/wont watch 50 straight minutes of a sport. The 2nd point you make is the obvious answer unfortunately

[Nate Tice @Nate_Tice]

ya but can they do it on a cold, rainy night in Iowa City?

[Brett Kollmann @BrettKollmann]

Poch isn't wrong. tbh And it's not just a soccer thing either.

Just look at the teams who regularly pick in the top 5 in the NFL, or in MLB or the NBA. Rev shares guarantee profitability. Team valuations only ever go up.

Players and coaches fight hard because they want to keep their job, but some owners aren't really incentivized to invest because they make money no matter what.

Overseas, the threat of relegation ensures competitiveness because there is room for the people with the checkbook to actually be embarassed.

If you failed to get anything out of Cape Verde holding Spain to a 0-0 with a 40-year-old keeper having the game of his life against the odds, simply because it ended in a draw, I’m not sure sport in general is for you.

[skywaker9 @skywaker9]

To be clear, American soccer fans think they're stupid too.

[Hammerhawk @Hammerhawk30]

@JOSH___AOTEAROA Yup we all want to see the Burger King ads

[Hammerhawk @Hammerhawk30]

You suck @FOXSports @FOXSoccer @AlexiLalas

[Hammerhawk @Hammerhawk30]

@moooooot00 @DrBind @FOXSoccer @FOXSports @AlexiLalas as there is a lot that happens pre-play when the clock might be stopped

[Hammerhawk @Hammerhawk30]

@moooooot00 @DrBind @FOXSoccer @FOXSports @AlexiLalas Plant? Seriously though, I’m not a fan of the extended stoppages in those games either, but the rules are written for stoppages of the clock. Rules that, to some extent, were in place before television got involved. Football also has more than 60 minutes of play…

[Hammerhawk @Hammerhawk30]

@moooooot00 @DrBind @FOXSoccer @FOXSports @AlexiLalas Ok mooooooooooooooot

[Hammerhawk @Hammerhawk30]

@jmhorp If they don’t like ties they just don’t understand the sport.

@jonhotspur1988 @FIFAcom None of us want these dumbass breaks man
