Yeah but I think that's less due to excessive interest than that it's cheap and easy for the school to set up and parents to buy gear for.

 

Women's soccer also allows a college/University to recruit a large number of female athletes for Title IX purposes.

Russia win 3-1.

 

They are in the next round.

While listening to that game on TuneIn, one word came to mind, and it started with "F". I would not put it past the Russian government to take whatever measure are needed to make themselves look good, and the second-half collapses by both the Saudis and the Egyptians seemed - well, I'd better not say anymore, because the hackers are listening.

We'll see if the fix is in after knockout play starts; with the group A draw as it is, I don't see the first two match results as requiring the individual matches per se to be gaffed..  Saudi Arabia was widely expected to be the single weakest team in the tournament. 

 

A month ago it was publicly admitted that the draw in the 1998 World Cup was fixed to give France an advantage; you will note that I all but explicitly accused this Cup draw of being fixed in post #4 in this thread.

... so Russia and Uruguay will advance to the knockout round, and Saudi Arabia and Egypt will go home, independent of what happens in the 3rd day of group play.  In that 3rd day we will see the Russia-Uruguay and Saudi Arabia-Egypt matches.

The only thing I hate about this World Cup are the times. 

 

I can listen to about half of the first game of the day on my drive in.  And I get about 30 minutes of the last game during lunch. 

 

It's a bummer, I see most of the action after it has been spoiled.....
