Not a great first look, FIFA.   During Thursday night’s World Cup match in Guadalajara, Mexico, between South Korea and the Czech Republic, thousands of seats were empty amid concerns over high ticket prices.   Even though FIFA reported a nearly full attendance of 44,985 for the contest, vacant sections were still visible, especially in the VIP zones and sections opposite the main camera.
