[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One has to factor in that the WWC is an event. Many people watch who know nothing about soccer and care even less about soccer. It is like the Olympics but with gender politics thrown in.

So many people see a player they identify with as representing their political/world view, etc beliefs. I think it’s stupid because as a fan you have know idea what these athletes are like IRL. If you question or say another player is better, it is seen as detracting from the player they identify with.

This was shown in the pre and post game coverage. It was very light on actual analysis and film breakdown. No players were criticized and no one questioned any of the coaching decisions. The film was not kind to a few players. Some of the formation decisions were very questionable. This is in contrast to how the men’s game is covered. They take film and break down the plays and payers. Talk about different formations to maximize your strength while exploiting weaker player on the other team. Also talk about adjustments made by the coach throughout the game. They will call players and coaches out. It was a network decision. I thought it was a wasted opportunity to educate a lot of non soccer fans. Show the complexity and the brilliance of the game. Oh well. [/quote]
