LOL!!
I was out at a pub for an early dinner yesterday and I noticed both TV's over the bar were tuned to the World Cup. The crowd sitting at the bar were watching the game and in the two hours I was there I heard them express some kind of noise (or cheer) ONCE in that entire two hours.
What a dull event soccer is.
Soccer is probably the only sport where the "highlights" include primarily non-scoring events: "and the crowd goes wild at the first shot on goal" (coming 50:00 min into the game) ....."the stretcher is now on the field" (to retrieve yet another flopper) ....etc.
Try cricket...on the radio...in Australia, hearing all the "action" in Aussiese...literally all day long matches.
