It's the best I've seen since 86.
Most number of goals ever, outright I heard.Most goals per game in a world cup since 1982.
It’s been brilliant entertainment but the actual quality hasn’t been great. Lots of very good teams playing well below their usual standards. So I would disagree with Rio. Still, though, the fact that all the teams were so flawed probably added to the drama.Best tournament. It's been a shame of what's surrounded the tournament it with the contraversy but the football over-delivered. Rio Ferdinand made a good point about being fatigued at the end of the season and going to a world cup, the winter period seems to have kept teams refreshed throughout most of the rounds.
Yep which is ironic because we were talking about the lack of goals at the start of the tournament.Most number of goals ever, outright I heard.
Indeed. What a fun tournament, lacked atmosphere but no drunken yobs for onceVery family friendly as well due to no alcohol in the stands - great idea by Qatar despite all the criticism. Some of the media outlets will be eating some humble pie after this.

There’s no alcohol allowed in the stands at OT, yet it doesn’t deter the drunken yobs.Very family friendly as well due to no alcohol in the stands - great idea by Qatar despite all the criticism.
Of course the 82-world cup was helped by a certain 10-1 result as wellMost number of goals ever, outright I heard.
It was amazing being able to know you were witnessing greatness and history at the same time today. What a game.It's the best final I've ever seen in 32 years of watching WC football. An instant classic.
This WC has been great.
The best of my lifetime by a country mile.Absolutely amazing World Cup. Easily the best since 86
That should settle it -- officially better than 2002. Overall I'm sticking to my guns, though, that it was an average-to-good World Cup with memorable moments in it. In my humble opinion: 1998 > 2018 > 2006 = 2014 = 2022 > 2002 > > > > > 2010.It peaked during the second and third round of group stage games after a slow start, then it lost plenty of steam somewhere in the second round. The quarterfinals started off with a bang only to crash down again and the semifinals went as overwhelmingly expected. Bar a final for the ages on Sunday it's been somewhat of a reboot of the 2002 edition, I would say -- not the best but not the worst, either, with some very memorable moments thanks to Japan, Morocco and the ref in the Holland v Argentina game.
It's still A LOT better than 2010 but this isn't saying much. Every World Cup is better than 2010.
