I'm watching the World Cup game between France and Switzerland. It looks like it's headed to a 0-0 tie. This will be the second 0-0 tie in this year's tournament.

I'm sorry, but there needs to be more scoring. I'm an America. We need action. Someone needs to be scoring, or at least inflicting pain, to keep our attention. That's just how we are.

In the 13 games so far, there have been just 30 goals. That's a little over two a game, or one every 45 minutes. Teams that have scored one goal are 3-4. There's only been one come-from-behind victory (the South Koreans 2-1 over Togo). The only game that came close to an offensive explosion was Germany's 4-2 win over Costa Rica.

I suggest a few rule changes (downs, set plays, use of hands, cheerleaders). Every sport in the world could benefit from more end zone celebrations.

OK, now the Brazilians are set to play. I'm expecting them to pound Croatia. They need this win. EWZ is down 34% in a month.
