In USA! Among strong teams, Brazil opposed Morocco and did little. Other strong teams will soon beat on junior opponents by a lot or little. Early round play differs from late. Is anyone tuned in to this? Stadium seats have become very expensive - any thoughts? If this is world's most popular sport we ought to come up with something to say.
I've noticed bars and restaurants filling to capacity for watch parties. Not clear whether these fans couldn't afford actual tickets or if they were always going to watch on a screen. I enjoyed the work I did to help broadcast several past World Cups. Also very happy I'm not involved in this one. I just turned down a big contract with somebody who hadn't adequately planned their resources... those jobs are never fun.
