What's going on with Mexico?
Three games at the Azteca have been 0-0 in the hex. They have 5 draws and 1 win from 6 games. I follow a lot of World Cup qualifying closely but last night was the first time I have seen Mexico in the hex (I am British). Why are they not getting goals? I am looking forward to watching them in the Confederations Cup as they've always been an entertaining team but how worried are you about their lack of goals? Will they struggle in the CC? At this rate it's no guarantee they will even qualify for next year. What's going on with the team? I've heard that a lot of Mexicans don't rate Hernandez and think he's too one-dimensional and it affects the team's fluidity, do you think there's something in this? Granted his goalscoring record at international level is exceptional but I'm not a big fan of his myself, I must admit. Are some Mexicans far too harsh on him? Would appreciate some input from some of you Mexicans who know far more about Mexican football than I do.
What's one thing that annoys you while watching a football match?
Is there anything annoying to you? For me, it's when I'm trying to watch Champions League, take this for example: Yesterday I was watching the Atletico VS. Porto game, and we know that the Arsenal VS. Roma and Inter Milan VS. Manchester United was going to come on after Atletico VS. Porto, right? It annoys me when the commentators start telling the scores of the other games in the middle of the game you are watching, as they are commentating this game. That is the most annoying thing to me, it took the fun out of watching the other 2 games when I already knew the score. I know they pass the scores of the other games at half-time, but I change the channel or press pause until the game is back on, but the thing that annoys me is when they say the scores of the other games when you know they will come on later. What about you? And another question, is there anything weird you do or don't do during you're watching a game?
What are some of the mind-blowing facts about the FIFA World Cup?
Hi1.Since, FIFA is the French acronym for Federation Internationale de Football Association, in general English, it stands for the International Federation of Football Association. So, for this reason, it is not abbreviated as IFFA.2.Amazingly a nation with foreign coach never won FIFA world cup Every World Cup Has been won by a Coach who is the same Nationality as His team in 20 cups till date3. Other than South Africa (2010) .All Hosts Reached the second Round.4.Last Two reigning champions were knocked out in the group stage Italy in 2010 and Spain in 2014.5.Costa Rica conceded only 2 goals in FIFA 20146.For the first time in 2002 FIFA was held in two countries South korea and Japan7. 3.2 Billion people tuned into watch the FIFA 2014 cup which is half of the total world population8.Each year the FIFA World Cup is commenced, it is hosted in a different country. Another interesting fact about the FIFA World Cup is that the country that hosts the World Cup automatically gets entry to the World Cup.Russia is qualified for 2018 cup9.Brazil is the only nation to have won the maximum titles. They have won a total of 5 titles from 1930 till 2014. The country participated every time the World Cup was held. However, when the FIFA World Cup 1950 was hosted in Brazil, the nation did not win the title. Brazil was defeated by Uruguay by 2-110.The prize money which is given by the FIFA World Cup to the winning team is $35 million. The runner-up team gets $25 million. No wonder, losing the game is also worthwhile. That’s not all. Even the participating teams take home about an $8 million cheque each.11.12.13.14.Amazing right?Thanks for readingEdit 1: Removed a point as I got many comments About it for more check comments section
