What do you guys think about the overall quality of this WC, think its been great in terms of quality and entertainment though I've missed some games. Some previous tournaments had some very pointless or one sided games in the group stages but apart from the RUS/Saudi game all the other games I've seen have been mostly evenly matched and great to watch
Brilliant. Saudi Arabia were a bit embarrassing in how they couldn't mask their shitness through at least decent tactics, but the rest of it was very good. Even the lower quality games between smaller teams like Morocco-Iran had the dramatic ending (as did Uruguay-Egypt). Most games had either quality tactics and were well drilled to make up for their lack of quality (comparatively to the opposition) like Australia, Iceland, Switzerland and Mexico, while I'd say only Germany played truly stupid and suicidal tactics and they got punished. But they still showed the quality of players that they had in the amount of pressure they pushed on to pull the game back. Tight games, competitive, fast, good amount of goals, great goals, set pieces and penalties, late drama... Only thing lacking so far was a red card somewhere basically! Portugal-Spain obviously the peak so far though.
Tomorrow seems like a chance to be more disappointing. Cant see Tunisia or Panama doing anything against Belgium or England, fully expect easy wins, while Sweden - South Korea is more even but could also end as the first goalless game. Hope it continues though.
