Um... no. This isn't the Olympics. These players don't spend four years

Umm..no its not.
I think it is a very fair comparison between football and soccer.
Football is the most popular sport in the US.
Soccer is the most popular sport world wide.
The Super Bowl typically has the largest TV ratings for any other
broadcast in a given year - except maybe on years where
"...I understand that they want to have the ball change because Addidas
makes a hell of a lot of money putting out a new World Cup ball for sale
every 4 years."
That about sums it up.

I made a rather innocuous comment (intended to be a joke AND rustle
some feathers) that the NFL does not make it a habit of redesigning
the ball they use for their biggest event like FIFA does.
Yo
You are changing your argument mid swing. You said it was apples to apples
because NFL has Super Bowl and because FIFA has World Cup. Therefore the
list I gave speaks to that point. Now you are saying your argument is based
on if a ruling body is responsible for a sanctioned ball etc. I'm not goin
I think the deal with the Ball is financial in nature between FIFA and
ADIDAS.
I don't see any credible reason for introducing a new ball with completely
new dynamics so close to the start of these last worldcups.

Or because they were playing against a North Korea side that was
horridly outmatched. Anyone can kick pretty much any soccer ball into

Funny, as it seems FIFA disagrees with you. Why else woud they be
