标题：How to make football more exciting
The World Cup is wonderful. It could be even better
正文：Football is the beautiful game. But it’s often also the boring game.The World Cup, which starts on June 11th, is being hosted by America,Canada and Mexico, the international equivalent of going to a dinner party and hearing the hosts rowing in the kitchen. The tournament will feature 48 teams playing 104 matches over the course of six and a half weeks. Although watching matches that feature your own nation is dependably exciting, for neutrals the average game is likely to be pretty drab. The stakes at a World Cup are too high for players to take big risks, and hanging on for a draw often pays off for less fancied teams.
知识点：equivalent /ɪˈkwɪvələnt/ n.
本义为 “等价物；相等物；对应物”，外刊体育评论语境核心义为 类比物；具有同等
体验 / 效果的情况（本文用生动比喻，将三国合办世界杯的内部矛盾比作晚宴上主人在厨房吵架的尴尬体验）

・Hosting the World Cup across three countries is the equivalent of organizing a wedding with three sets of parents who don't get along. 横跨三个国家举办世界杯，就好比筹办一场由三对不和的父母共同主持的婚礼。
・For many football fans, a last-minute winning goal is the equivalent of pure joy. 对很多球迷来说，一粒读秒绝杀进球就是纯粹快乐的代名词。
