you simply cannot compare cricket with a fifa broadcast because cricket looks totally amateur and basic in front of the massive cinematic scale of football

Even in cricket ECB and CA coverage are better although we use slightly more cameras in the IPL if i am right. We used 30 to 40 cameras. FIFA worl cup use 45 cameas.Having said that worl cup coverage has received some criticism.

I just looked it up and FIFA has contract a Company called Host Broadcast Services (HBS),They provide the original feed and they have 45 Cameras in each stadium.If BCCI wanted to then they could  do the same rather than rely on bad Star Sports cameras.

Seems like very low key following in ICF?

Weird timings, most of us are too old to sacrifice sleep over some football match.

 

Also broadcast in India is an issue, I won't take Zee5 subscription, they are frauds as well as incompetent. 

 

Real interest for most casuals will be from KOs. 

 

Hope this WC flops, Trump and co. have made this closest to 1936 Berlin.

Will pick up in Knock outs. Every FIFA WC starts like this only. In group stage, only upset catches eyeballs.

Can't compare FIFA with IPL. Football is global game. They are broadcasting in 4k quality. Only cricket in Australia comes close to this level of broadcasting.

Boils down to money. Field hockey is worse where it is tough to spot the ball sometimes, and video referrals have very few camera angles and poor frame rates.

India does have cameras. Flood lights for 4k broadcast you need about 2500 to 3500 lumens. Not sure what they use. Cricket playing area is a significantly bigger than  Foot ball playing area. So you might need more cameras than this. Ofcourse playing field is going to be more beautiful in USA.

Also the demand for high quality broadcasting doesn’t exist .. if the population is exposed to football in the global leagues then they will know the difference and demand .. ppl just don’t care ..  forget everything else please get rid of the cheerleaders in IPL looks a cheap dance show in front of a wine shop in India
