I see that in every game regardless of pitch temperature there will be a three minute break half way through each half.

Hmmmmm.

This what the Americans wanted years ago, a nice little interval to place adverts in.

Why? What next …goals made twice the size to see more goals…?

nothing new its been going on over here for awhile. its called goalkeepers pretending to be injured by just standing there. might as well make it all legal now even if fans hate it.

You will need deep pockets to attend the games, this is the England v Croatia admission prices and also the final. it’s in dollars.

I can’t imagine out worse than actually going there, even if I was a millionaire.
I can be disappointed for a fraction of the ridiculous cost closer to home.

like drawing the money out of the bank in cash and watching it burn. seriously doubt i,ll watch a single match live including the final as the highlights will be enough.

I watch it at the local CAMRA club. They do half price beer for the England matches. Unlike the players, I love extra time and penalties. I think there are 2 matches that start at 9pm UK so likely there will be some late nights.

a bit like football in general then. not an age thing but my 37 year old lad feels just the same both playing and watching. boring shit disquised as entertainment and we are the ones blamed if you do not enjoy the so called match experiance bollocks and need educating for the modern game.

That 5 seconds of fame when the camera crew zooms in on you with your England/Hartlepool flag next to you doesn't appeal to you then,Snowy..???
