Different strokes for different folks.
Lots of things pre, post and during the match makes broadcast better.

If you list 5, whys, I'll list too.
There's nothing to list, I know advantages of watching it on TV outweighs the live own like for example replays and so on.
But like I said earlier, if I am giving a choice between watching it on TV or live in the stadia. I will choose watching live in the stadia. They are many side attraction inside stadium and you get to see these stars live in person.

It will be worse next time if they keep turning a blind eye to all the issues that has plagued this world cup - exorbitant ticket prices, denying players and team officials entry into the country for one visa rule or the other, even a celebrated referee was denied entry after hours of gruelling interrogation like a terrorist and FIFA did nothing about it.
While you raised very good points FIFA cannot do anything about what was done to the referee because that is not their jurisdiction and they have no power over any country's immigration rules.

Personally I’m totally disinterested in the World Cup. Fifa has a rotten president, and the host country has a clown as president

But me I will not. I will use 50k buy dstv.

They have a discretion to pre-agree such issues with a host kwantry. No deal, they go to another host.

It's not us capitalism
It's just capitalism
And it's good. Now they know their price to high
HacheNoire:
The FIFA president needs to resign!

I first thought it was mostly African fans that were denied entry, only to later realize it hit UK and Argentina too.

US capitalism has influenced FIFA. Mad ticket prices!

More than 65% empty

Soccer (association football) has never been their game

Majority of their citizens don't know the rules of soccer and their main MLS league is not even among top leagues worldwide

This is the type of comment or questions you get when people lack comprehension skills.
Did I tell you that FIFA cannot punish USA?
I only said FIFA doesn't have power over immigration rules of any country if however the choose to punish that is fine but it doesn't change the fact that they don't have power over immigration. You are here mixing up two different things. Make una dey read well before commenting.

You are clearly shifting the goal post.

FIFA has powers over immigration. It played out in Indonesia.

Times are changing and still people fail to realise, entertainment is loosing relevance it was used in the mediaeval times by the Romans to distract the population but with the internet people has start to realign their priorities. For the first time in my life am not even bothered about any match or show performance, I ve got issues to take care of.

What do you mean USA had nothing on this?

They are implementing dynamic pricing which is illegal in some states.

Yet US believes exclusively in the market forces of demand and supply.

By the way, just because people don't support the inadequacies and greed of US doesn't make them terrorists.

You were raised better... I think.
You are talking as if USA is the only host or the tickets are way cheaper in other host countries, even though the match referenced here was played in guadalajara, Mexico. But no, your masked HATRED for America will always make you single out USA.
FIFA is solely responsible for the pricing of tickets so stop misinforming people.
Btw ISLAMIC TERRORISM has no place in modern society or future civilization because those things you refer to as America's inadequacies are way better than a bit of ISLAMIC TERROR!
Learn to speak the truth to yourselves first before worrying about how others were raised.

No, it isn't.

Qatar was priced a lot less.

Cost of transport also up from NY to Boston for instance.
