    Re: World Cup 2018: The best party money could buy (until 2022)!

    What do FIFA, the NFL, MLB & the NCAA have in common?

        Why are there so many days between the semi finals and final? I don’t recall there being this many days off last time. Though admittedly I am not following very closely.

          You must be mistaken, 3 rest days is pretty much the minimum.

            Rest. Teams usually get 3-4 days, it's just there's usually other games to fill the gap.

              Croatia could use the rest. Shootouts against Denmark, Russia and extra time against the limeys.
              A bad cause requires many words.

                Really? Huh. in 2014, my company's Brazil operation was a sponsor and we did a bunch of events around it, and had a bunch of people go, and I don't recall there being this much time between the semis and finals. Though I think when all that was happening it was during the earlier rounds when games were happening daily.

                I'm sure both teams could use the rest but I'm of the ilk that these extra days off might kill momentum. But I'm so not invested in this. Not sure why I'm bothering you all with my inane observations.

                  2018 semifinals were July 10 and 11, with 3rd place on July 14, Final on July 15
                  2014 semifinals were July 8 and 9, with 3rd place on July 12, Final on July 13
                  2010 semifinals were July 6 and 7, with 3rd place on July 10, Final on July 11

                  Same schedule timing

                    This is the normal schedule that’s been used since the introduction of the Round of 16 in 1986.

                    Soccer is a physically demanding sport, these players are putting tens of miles of work on their bodies this tournament, so adequate rest is an absolute necessity. Keep in mind that this will be the third game in 9 days for these teams.

                          FIFA president Gianni Infantino confirmed Friday at a press conference the dates for the next edition of the world’s biggest sporting event. The 2022 World Cup will take place in Qatar between November 21 and December 18 of that year, but Infantino refused to specify whether FIFA would expand the field from 32 to 48 teams for the tournament.

                              As much as I love the event I'd rather they stay at 32 even if it means the US misses the tournament once every 24 years.
