The difference between Brazil and China is Neymar and #4 (forgot his name)

Welp, football is corrupted by money, that's the main problem.

I personally used to check the world cup more as I rooted for France, but the team always found itself into controversies year after year (especially the Zidane's "coup de boule" incident) so I eventually dropped out, although i paid a bit of attention to it this year due to how much coverage it got over here compared to the past few years.

Also nowadays over here sports bars and restaurants are filled to capacity by immigrants during morning and afternoon to watch the world cup.



I personally prefer ice hockey since it's faster-paced, has more goals and shots, although it's more dangerous. I also like baseball due to the strategy aspect of the game and the fact that a 12-1 game can end up 12-13 in the span of two innings (basically the final outcome of the game is not known right from the start like in soccer, where a 2-0 goal deficit is pretty much impossible to overcome).


In football's defense, though, the 90 minutes of nothing during a game is far worse in "Handegg", because each play lasts like three seconds. In hockey, time stops completely during game stoppages, so you're guaranteed to get 60 minutes (or more) of hockey plus a few minutes of fights. In baseball, games don't have much action but at least there's no time limit.

Yeah, I don't know why Football is seen as a man's sport, women are a lot better at faking (understand what you want here).
