oftentimes teams resort to offside trap to gain advantage in matches.this tends to lessen the value of strikers in the game.

If they don't like it, why would they come here to insult people who do.
They say that is for sissies, but I would like to see them going to a World Cup event after a very long round of elimination to show that their abilities are worth it.
Ok, even I get mad when people fake injuries but it's part of the game. Wouldn't you do anything to keep winning? I know most americans would.
Also, when players are actually injured they call them wimps. Try being kicked, stomped, stepped and sometimes hit in the face when you're wearing much lighter clothes that the ones you use at their version of football. And they use that type of clothes because football is about agility.
Also, they complain about low scoring, that the matches end in ties. Well, matches that end in ties can be more exciting that the ones that are won. Why? Cause you can see how the 2 teams struggle, how they give all they have to win. I admit that is frustrating when your team ties but that's part of the magic of football

So, tell me.
I've been around for a while and every day I see how people praise the US-Italy game because the US stepped it up and that they were proud.
Proud of what? They didn't even make a goal!
It has been called the best match but why? It wasn't amazing, it was butchery. It was a disgrace for the italian team. The US didn't step it up, the italian lowered their already low performance.

BERLIN (Reuters) - A cumulative audience of about 30 billion was expected to view the World Cup finals and break records for the world's most-watched sports event, a television chief said on Tuesday.

Figures for the 2002 tournament in South Korea and Japan from soccer's world governing body FIFA showed a total viewing figure of 28.8 billion.

"We estimate that the cumulative global audience for the (2006) World Cup will be more than 30 billion," said Dominik Schmid, the CEO of Infront, the company that sells the global TV rights for the World Cup on behalf of FIFA.

"Audience viewing records and market share are significantly more than in 2002 and in some countries records are being broken day after day.

"Research also shows that 40 percent more women are watching the World Cup than in 2002.

"The overall figures are not just confined to countries competing in the finals."


SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER

The total viewing audience in China for the England-Paraguay group match was 62.9 million people -- larger than the populations of England and Paraguay combined.

Figures in the host nation were significantly higher than in 2002, up 51 percent, according to the figures released by Infront on Tuesday.

Figures in North, South and Central America, Asia and the Far East and Oceania were all equally impressive.

Brazil's opening two matches attracted 60.5 million and 54.5 million viewers respectively, both achieving a market share of 90 percent in the region.

The Argentina-Mexico second-round match in Leipzig on Saturday, broadcast on Univision in the United States, attracted 6.7 million viewers, the most-watched sports event in the history of Spanish-language television in the U.S.

Schmid added that the global TV audience for the 2002 final between Germany and Brazil was 1.1 billion -- approximately one in every four people on earth.

"I am not sure the figure will be much higher this time," he said, "I think that is about as high as you can go but we will see."

The viewing figures also include viewers watching on giant screens in public places.

FIFA also reported on Tuesday that more than 11 million people had attended the fan festivals in the 12 host cities, making the finals "the biggest World Cup party ever".

The former Soviet republic of Turkmenistan is the only one of FIFA's 207 member associations not officially watching World Cup matches.

Viewers in Turkmenistan are able to receive television signals from neighbouring countries, but Schmid said: "Every other country has an agreement, including North Korea who did not take pictures in 2002."
