Thoughts on world cup

How would you know? Your memory isn’t the best.

You're right...
But how did you know?

CRO v DEN 1-1 before the 4th minute. This dull world cup continues

People slagging off Russia but they did their homework and played Spain exactly the way they wanted to. And Spain weren't good enough to overcome it?
NW did this several times last season and hopefully will again next, so why is it different when Russia does it?

This World Cup has been a lot better than I expected, some big shocks already

The quarter finals will be missing Germany, Spain, Argentina, Portugal, Italy and Netherlands. That must be a first.

1990 was a great World Cup
The final itself was shocking tho

I think it's been good on the whole, but took the first lot of first round games to warm up. The 10 men behind the ball strategy, although understandable, seems to be at its zenith though.

70 and 78, my greatest World Cups ever

Italia 90 count the good games on one hand?!?! You must be joking!! Brilliant World Cup.

I think people tend to look back on Italia 90 with rose tinted specs. I enjoyed it, but it is widely considered to be poor from a footballing point of view with negative tactics, a low goals per game ratio and a lot of games settled by penalties.

Is correct. Italia 90 is very overrated.
