Most of the football watchers enjoy half of a game, not because of their poor understanding of the game rules, but they only trace after the ball and one offender, one defender.

'Professional watchers' always trace the FORMATION of a team. Formation is the positioning of every 11 players such as 3-4-3-1. 1 is the goal keeper. At least tracing the forward 3 players 'in an eye', and checking how each moves on, for offence and for defence is a real fun. If a team's formation is 2-4-4-1, they mean to enhance the defence against stronger team. If 4-3-3-1, it is offensive formation needless to say.

Another tip to enjoy a game is to check out how a team player make foul. If trace only the ball, one can not catch it. The trick happens often when the ball is in the penalty box. People concentrate on the ball and two players, one offender and one defender. If check other two offenders (in case of 3-4-3-1 formation), one of them holds a defender from running, by holding him, or even by kicking him.

Latin footballers more violate this 'unseen foul' and the field refree often fails to catch it.

This trick was seen and FIFA formally admitted the refree mistake during the game of Argentina and Nigeria. Argentine goal was the result of holding a Nigerian defender who rushed onto the ball in the penalty box.

Such foul plays will be seen more as more south American teams advance.

I dislike to watch professional club games like Premier of Europe but love to regional inter-state game like CJK game. Of course the World Cup the best.

World Cup is really amusing and I often glue to it, Why?

Inter-Nation game is the reflection of a national team who are from all the best a country own their nationalities, both professional players and home-stars.

4 years interval of World Cup is to feature the change of each national team. Some, old star players were retired and new stars play prominently.

Also, world game features the power of the nation's political and economic situation. Problematic country players always perform poorly and this time, it is shown in Greek and Spain players whose countries have serious economy problem.

World cup players perform for their national pride to show worldwide. It is more than the money being given by professional football club, so they play to their utmost ego.

Also World Cup is the stage to show many, professional faults and clumsy errors of refrees. Of course corruptions are involved among the FIFA executives, that will litter dirty beans here and there. Stealing live broadcasts are rampant all over the world, especially in Thailand by regional cable TV operators,,,555

FROM TODAY,

Real games- second round starts from today, that better national teams show and that will show the real clue, who will step forward to the best 16, and best 4.

Also it is real period for gamblers to play in, and the world largest, gambling site is undoubtedly in London, where a site offers the maximum ceiling bid is 10,000,000 pounds ! (I don't know how much the commission and tax are however)

I hope a Thai will bid this money to show the world,

"Thailand is the best kingdom of gamblers in the world, outbeating UK". 555
