What a surprise...just like Netherlands vs Argentina stadium full with Argentinian fans. FIA appointed only 1400 tickets for Dutchies. Now against Croatia few Croatian fans.
Fair ticket distribution would be 25/25 - 40/40 not 1% - 99%..
All those other controversial moments with Netherlands and England games makes it even more suspicious that FIA wants France vs Argentina in the finale because it creates more money.
Creates more money? How?
As far as viewership, I am sure that it would be expanded the most if Morocco makes it to the final, not that I expect it.
Africa+Middle East is 1.8-1.9 bil people and Europe would watch it anyway...well, maybe less if it would be Morocco-Argentina.
Most are probably expecting Argentina-France.
Croatia is incredible, though..for a small country to make it twice in a row to semis and at least once to final is amazing.
btw, i learned something during the last two days...Bitfury CEO (he used to be the OCC controller) said: "they don't want to have regulation as to not provide legitimacy", yet they are complaining themselves about the lack of regulation..and even more, some cranky c-man recently said, as he put it: "after 14 years, it is time for the blockchain to show what it can do". Basically, put a piece of wood through the wheel and then complain that the bicycle "ain't working".
