Re: Thoughts on world cup
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?

The quarter finals will be missing Germany, Spain, Argentina, Portugal, Italy and Netherlands. That must be a first.
Re: Thoughts on world cup
1990 was a great World Cup
The final itself was shocking tho
Re: Thoughts on world cup
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

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.
