Fox had the rights but chose not to show it live.

It's perceived as a bit of an artificial tournament by most fans, I'd say, and playing it in Qatar does not make most fans feel more enthusiastic about it.

Nit: It was 0-0 at the end of regulation, and thus went to extra time which is always played in 2 full 15 minute halves regardless of how many goals are scored. After that it would have gone to penalties had the match still been drawn.
