How do we make WorldCup less boring?
Before today's semifinal crowds of people gathered in front of street screens, in the pubs or clubs to watch the event. After the hour of play most walked away-I guess people on the stadium stayed only because they already paid lots of money for this criminally overpriced event and felt trapped. But I would not blame the football in general, nor would i say that game is in crisis worldwide-recent Copa America, Champions league matches, different national regshave been entertaining and productive. So something is wrong with World Cup structure what turns the whole event into the penalty shot out championsheap, for more then decade already since 1990... What do you think can be done to save the World Cup? Any ideas how tor reform the tournament?May be best idea world be going back to 24 teams so spoilers like Saudi Arabia would not be there at all and group state would be more interesting, plus make it same as it was in Spain 1982, so in second stage teams would be forced to attack To Rockababy-I played football(this is how it is called not soccer) myself and even had chance to play professionally, and I am big time football fun. As i have said the game itself is not in crisis, it is just World Cup sucks with all that scores like 1-0 and 0-0 and games like recent Italy -Germany crap.(noI am not German fun, but watching two hours of extreme boredom to see three minutes of excitement is not worth my time in a future not even to talk the price they charge for a ticket.. To hobo6: case of beer would make me bit more exited but would not teach losers like Ballack or Toni to score..

I think you might be on crack and out of it buddy. World Cup is very exciting. Especially this year. I find it funny the people who don't like soccer say World Cup is boring. You people just don't get it.

I'm sorry, I don't feel like reading that freaking essy that you wrote, but WTF do you mean by "How do we make World Cup less boring?", You can stop watching it if its that boring for you!!! I bet your American!! btw, World cup is not a word! There's suppose to be a freaking space between the two words!!!

Thats your opinion, but I beg to differ. The World Cup represents your own country, vying for the prestigious award and of course adds to your national pride. Why would you eliminate other countries from joining? Thats why its called the world cup, any country who qualifies can participate.

Drink a case of beer. By that time, you'll be so drunk that It will look like, to you, that you're watching the Super Bowl. And the Super Bowl is way better than soccer.

I've found the World Cup interesting (and I'm an American), but if anything is draining the offense in this year's tournament, it might be the temperatures. Later start times for the matches might help a little. If you want to increase offense in general, I'd suggest experimenting with changes in the offside rule. But to be honest, I've liked this year's tournament and I don't think it needs to change much. The only structural change I'd really want to see is straight seeding so that the power teams are more evenly distributed among the groups. The current structure is meant to keep teams from the same continent from being in the same group as much as possible... yet it still resulted in a final eight of six European squads and two from South America. So I'd quit worrying about the continental distributions and just weight the groups equally.

eliminate the off-side concept like the field hockey... it became much more interesting...

I don't see anything boring about it...unless you don't like soccer and that would be your problem not everyone else's.

Dude, by any chance are you gay? World cup rocks! and it's a total guy thing! C'mon man...Boring you say? Btw it's world cup and not worldcup. What's your favorite sport dude? Cranking off I bet! Just kidding, you know.....whatever rows your boat, but soccer is not boring.

Maybe we need a league format for the next World Cup,like that teams will be forced to play attacking football and perhaps like you said limit it to 24 teams, get rid of the country's that are not up to par.
