Rugby League is an internationally popular sport, but it has failed to gain traction in South Africa. This could be due to the popularity of rugby union, which has been the dominant version of the sport for over a century. Lack of investment in the sport and a lack of marketing and promotion could also be factors. The South African public may not have been exposed to the sport and the history of it, so they have no interest in it. This is a shame, as Rugby League has the potential to be a hugely popular sport in South Africa, with its fast-paced, high-scoring action making it an exciting spectacle. With the right investment and marketing, Rugby League could become a major sport in South Africa.

The World Cup is the most prestigious soccer tournament in the world. It is held every four years and attracts millions of fans from all over the globe. A World Cup game typically lasts 90 minutes plus extra time, but the exact time can vary depending on the situation. The game is divided into two equal halves, each lasting 45 minutes, with a 15-minute break in between. Extra time of 30 minutes is added if the game is tied after 90 minutes. If the game is still tied after extra time, a penalty shootout is held to decide the winner. The average duration of a World Cup game is around two hours, but some games can go longer if extra time or penalties are needed.

Soccer is a sport that is widely played across the world and is known by different names. The two common terms used to refer to the sport are "match" and "game". Although the two terms are often used interchangeably, there are subtle differences between them. A 'match' is a longer, more formal competition usually involving two teams of 11 players each and played for 90 minutes. A 'game', on the other hand, is a shorter and less formal competition usually involving fewer players, such as a 5-a-side or 7-a-side match. The term 'match' is the term most often used in the United Kingdom, while 'game' is the preferred term in the United States and Canada.
