2018 worst football World Cup ever ? 19:46 - Jun 21 with 13376 viewstrampie

What are we about a third of the way through and so far this World Cup has been rubbish, the business end is yet to come and there might be lots of excitement to come but so far up to this point in time I think this World Cup is shaping up to be the worst ever.

Well I’m enjoying it.


Same here... thoroughly enjoying it to be honest.

I often wonder if we get rose tinted specs when it comes to previous tournaments, we remember the highlights and forget the dirge maybe? So far I’m enjoying this World Cup though.

Early group games tend to be cagey, hopefully it will pick up and not descend into teams playing for penalties from the first whistle.

Good point. The guy who did the forward somersault before taking the throw in deserves to be in the highlights. All that planning.

Yours

Yup enjoyed watching Argentina get spanked. What's changed is loads of goals against so called weaker teams, but now they are fit and have more disciplined and solid defensive structures. I enjoy watching the super-rich big boys struggle to break-down the defences of these so called 'weaker' teams.

Wonder how the expansion of number of teams will affect it.


Only 3 of the extra places go to European teams, so more asian and African teams, who are doing really well this tournament.

If this system was applied to the champions league, UEFA would now be giving 4 places to the SPL.

The teams that are there, by enlarge deserve to be there. Unfortunately, Wales played poorly in a few games and luck was against them, the Serbia game where Bale hit the post and Mitrovic scored on the counter being one example.

Was listening to the radio whilst in work tonight, one of the Radio 5 pundits was going on about there being a low number of goals in the games before going commenting that some of the lesser teams were now more competitive. I would have thought the fact that teams aren’t being pummelled is a reason for the decrease in goals!

I have enjoyed what I have seen, it would be nice to see some of the smaller teams do well and maybe a new country emerging as the winners.
I hope Costa Rica do Brazil tomorrow, but I can’t see it.

Euros standard is higher, but great to see new teams play.

Nothing wrong with it ffs.

Those that haven't got there, deserve to not be there.

And Wales not being there is hardly any shock now is it.


This in spades! and what makes me laugh is the "Euros are a higher standard". Its been fine so far and will get better and better when we reach the knockout stages

No Czech Rep, Hungary, Rumania or Ukraine from Eastern Europe, no Algeria the current African champions or Ivory Coast the previous African champions.

No Celtic teams for big crowd numbers and atmosphere.


I dont see your point? They didnt qualify, if you cant qualify then you are not good enough to be in the tournament. Its the world cup not elite nations cup. I have really enjoyed it so far, bar saudi all the smaller teams have gone for it, teams like iran, morocco, iceland and peru have given good accounts of themselves. Okay they play defensive football, but they all work bloody hard as a team and its great to see so called lesser nations giving a scare to the more regular teams.

The Euros are a higher standard because you don't have doss teams like Saudi Arabia or Tunisia. Not that I prefer them as a spectacle, just a fact.

"When we reach the knockout stage"

I'm not particularly anti-England I'm indifferent to their perpetual ineptitude but it is interesting to note that it's usually sycophantic c*nts that support them. I bet you watched all of the recent royal wedding, didn't you?
