the last matches before the start made me change my mind, many teams with great chance. I'm thinking that there will be several surprises on the knockout phase
i am active on sports since i was a kid and never seen any big problem on this, maybe because i am used to it. but i don't like too much to watch NBA games because they have too much stops during the game, a 40min game take like 3 hours to watch
even the atmosphere its not that good there for the world cup, they seen to care about more of NBA finals. i hope this is the last time the WC happens there.
this is one of the biggest problems on the national league here, too many of this. But i think the players will try to avoid doing too much on WC, it's a lot of attention from the whole world watching
