If it's a Portugal v Italy final, as I think it will be, what's the over under on red cards during the final?

The saga of the cards is OVER!

Unless there is some egregiously dangerous play the game will continue.

These are soccer games, not hollyweird tryouts.

The World Cup is the biggest example of media induced mass hysteria I've seen since Global Warming.

I've watched several games and they do not live up to the hype

This is a sport that is in serious need of a makeover to have any real appeal. First off look at the scores in the games: 0-0 in one final, 0-2 (a blowout!), 1-1. So you are watching people pass a soccer ball around, mostly to no avial, for 90 minutes. Then, when it's tied they do it for another 30 minutes. Then, mercifully, the game is ended with penalty kicks.

There is more ground pounding action in women's tennis.

When does NFL exhibition start? This travesty has made me look forward to it.
