It's to spread the reach of the tournament from a corporate / advertising perspective, nothing else imo.
So the reason Qatar got the WC we were told, was to spread the tournament around to get more people interested in football.
Next vote sees a bid win that'll include Mexico hosting the tournament for the third time.
What are these clowns on?

This free kick is sponsored by wall mart, this corner is sponsored by Burger King, the throw in is sponsored by McDonald’s....Hmm, may sound a bit conspiracy theorist, but if they were allowed to nip to a quick ad or two during a game, when say a player was down injured, that would leave things open for match fixing.
Company wants their ad on TV, player is paid to go down injured in a certain minute of the game etc.
Is there any other game in US where they can't go to ads every 10-15 mins or so?
Can't think of any. Baseball, basketball, American football, golf, tennis, ice hockey, cricket, boxing, all have stoppages where the TV company go go to commercials.
Do they go to ads in F1?
All pervasive.This free kick is sponsored by wall mart, this corner is sponsored by Burger King, the throw in is sponsored by McDonald’s....
Also the fact that you could be playing in Canada in -10c or Mexico in 35c!
Another sell out corporate decision by our beautiful game
So make it more difficult for Europe and easier for everyone else. I thought Blatter had gone?
They do dual screen ads for the F1 I believe, so the race is still shown on one half of the screen/on a mini screen in the corner but the commentary is muted and the ad takes precedence. Can see them doing something similar for the World Cup if someone is down receiving treatment etc.Hmm, may sound a bit conspiracy theorist, but if they were allowed to nip to a quick ad or two during a game, when say a player was down injured, that would leave things open for match fixing.

Right, yes. Cheers for that. That makes perfect sense and will be coming to a screen near you real soon.They do dual screen ads for the F1 I believe, so the race is still shown on one half of the screen/on a mini screen in the corner but the commentary is muted and the ad takes precedence.

How do you get on with the ads when watching NFL?Right, yes. Cheers for that. That makes perfect sense and will be coming to a screen near you real soon.
Going to happen in the US for sure and in the UK too no doubt in time.
I agree, don't think we're too far from a constant scrolling banner across the bottom of the screen with ads on eitherRight, yes. Cheers for that. That makes perfect sense and will be coming to a screen near you real soon.

I tend to now watch RedZone unless the Skins or Pats are playing.How do you get on with the ads when watching NFL?
I don't know how anybody can watch red zone, I can't keep track of what's going on.I tend to now watch RedZone unless the Skins or Pats are playing.
If I am watching just the one live game I flit between the screen and my tablet.

It would only take a few of the big nations to break away and the whole house of cards would come down but I don’t think there is an appetite for it in any FAs.They are not bothered about the competition nor the quality, it is all about reach. The more countries it reaches the more opportunity for its corporate sponsors. It's time an alternative football federation was formed, but then again I don't think national FAs, ours in particular are that bothered about the game.
You need a sponge brain like me.I don't know how anybody can watch red zone, I can't keep track of what's going on.
Someone is I guess, though it could be a bag over his head job.Fucking Robbie Williams
I find most things Robbie Williams sings end up as dirge to be honest.Am I the only one who things Angels really doesn't really cut it for an opening ceremony? I mean, it's not meant to be a dirge, is it?

An FSB agent has the linesman's family tied up at gunpoint.Can't believe that wasn't flagged offside. I know they're not supposed to flag for marginals, but that was a clear mile!
Not a bad touch to set that up for himself. Saudi look very suspect at the back.
With the euros ruined, they want to d9 the same here. I am all for it being a proper world tournament but the focus has gone to trying to righting the balance rather than getting the best at the cup. We will see more and more European teams fail to qualify in place of crap nations from mid America or AfricaThey are not bothered about the competition nor the quality, it is all about reach.

Proper shite game isn’t it!One bonus about the Ruskie/Saudi game is that the next game is undoubtably going to be higher quality than this one. Ok, there's been 3 goals so far but I wont be putting my hard earned on Russia to win the tournament.
