rubbish. If we ran the world cup, only a few things would be different: The time stoppage for replay review, timeouts, and also to interrupt play to bring you television ads 6 minutes long. When a game would would get to the 88th minute, you can guarantee that 30 minutes of real time would pass before the last 2 minutes of the game ends, to increase the drama and suspense as you watch tv ads of American Express, American Airlines, Budweiser, and Geiko Commercials.
We'd also change all the terminology to soccer game, field, ties, etc, and change the trophy into something that looked like a cup.
The refs would suck worse than they do now, because they like calling penalties so they can get their faces on International TV.
There would also be cheerleaders and halftime shows at every game, and Rock Music, and Fireworks.
Everyone in the crowd will 'win' something, only to find out that it's just a cleverly disguised gimmick to get you to subscribe to something you don't want, that you later can never get a hold of customer service to cancel your subscription which charges $59.95 to your credit card each and every month.
Keep the World Cup away from us. It's for the best.
