Thats not that bad (though standing for two hours under the hot sun staring at the crowd can be a bit boring), the worst part is after the match is over when you almost inevitably have to calm down one group of drunk and usually violent group of fans.
There are some games where you can turn away from the crowd and watch the game with no worries, then there are games where youre handed out riot geat before the start and you just know that the day is not going to end well.
Oh, so close! Goalpost :( |

General question about the world cup here. I thought it was a single elimination tournament? Meaning you lose 1 game you go home. If that's the case, why is there a schedule layout for multiple games for all the teams?
Specifically, I'm seeing USA vs England. But then they already have the times and teams listed to face for each teams 2nd & 3rd games. England vs Algeria & USA vs Slovenia, USA vs Algeria & England vs Slovenia.
Is this schedule just being constantly changed? Or is this some sort of preliminary round? |

It's the group stage, teams are divided in groups of 4 and play all against each other. Then the 2 best teams from each group qualify, and the knock-out stage begins. |

| I don't think I can take another 90 minutes of those irritating trumpets. They sound like a swarm of ing bees. The sooner South Africa get knocked out the better. |

It used to be a knock-out stage right from the start, but they realised the weakest countries had some of the hottest big titty bitches, so they had to find a way to keep 'em around for a little while. Now we get to see then in different matches against different teams, so we can compare them and see who'd the hottest among them all. |
