On the other end of the spectrum, FC Cincinnati had GREAT fan supposrt during their USL days and helped them leap to MLS.
As a matter of fact, I'd prefer not to play for $200M. More time to browse YachtWorld.com
I miss the World Cup. They got me hooked with the daily action and now I have to wait 2 days before the next match. Are you kidding me? Send those players out there with a days rest and give me my daytime soccer. They didn't give the construction workers days off, why should the guys playing a game get better treatment?
It would probably be cheesy, but, in the down time, I'd love to see some kind of skills/shooting competition for former players/media personalities of each country.I miss the World Cup.

They could divide up the proceeds and donate them to various charities. It would give people a chance to see some of their favorite players without the animosity that normally accompanies a typical match. I think fans would eat that up.

You understand this event is being run by FIFA, right? If there is any sort of additional revenue coming in, it's going into their pockets.
But maybe schedule the U20 WC to correspond to these dates and have those knock-out round matches on the off days of the WC?
Oh, I completely understand the corruption. That's why doing something like this would be a great way to garner some good will. I realize it will never happen, but I still think it would be great for all parties involved.
You could mic up some of the people and catch some smack talk while you're at it. Someone like Beckham or Dempsey giving others crap during a shoot-out competition, for example. I just think there's potential to bring a little levity to the event without taking away from the drama on match days.
People will think this boring because “no scoring” but this is an epic battle of strategy.
Yes.
While I specifically called out the goalkeep, even more credit should go to Croatia’s defense for largely shutting the Brazil juggernaut down like they have. Much of the reason why he’s looked so good today is because the defense has largely kept it easy for him, even if he’s has to stop shots. They’ve for the most part been kicked directly into him.
Yep. And one of them is a straight two-pitch fire baller and the other is a change of speed/arm angle “feel” style.
The runs Brazil makes and the inherent knowledge to try and pick out those runs for guys that don’t play together that much is insane. It’s their DNA.
Left back about to come in. I’m sure he is hurt, but maybe can give them 20 minutes of good play.
Brazils manager looks like an evil Pixar cartoon character that somehow came to life and is now managing Brazil
