World Soccer XXXI: Golden Generation?

Watching live my reaction in that instant was no, no, and absolutely not. On reflection I defer to Jim; he is our SME.

But our fans are making a meal of it. Chicken soup for the victim complex.

Honestly, it’s a good thing if fans and media are making a meal of it, because it can have an effect on the next game. If there’s enough pressure it can change a possible yellow into red, maybe a 50/50 penalty kick decision goes the US’ way.

It’s the one thing I think with soccer that the country hasn’t really grasped. Politicking is absolutely part of the game, especially off the field.

I'd love to see it punished: whining equals further punitive measures. I come from a city of 8 million whiners. I don't want a world like that.

The ENG-CIV game where there was a 40-minute span without a single dive was like taking a shower.
 
24 million viewers on Fox for US-Bosnia, 31 million at peak. Highest rated match ever on English TV. 9 million more on Telemundo.

And Fox only had to pay $485 million for the rights. Going to real interesting to see who’s bidding for the 2030 rights.

Considering Fox is making almost that much just from the advertising during the "hydration breaks" this is a sweetheart deal. The 2030 rights will probably be well over $1 billion.

Sounds like there’s at least two bidders already with Fox and NBC plus potential interest from Amazon, Apple, and Netflix. Could still get Paramount and Disney in the mix too.

A recent article I read definitely thinks it will be at least $1B.

Didn't FOX get a "discount" deal this time because they were screwed with Qatar moving to the NFL season? When FOX originally bid, it was going to be the normal summer schedule.
