Kaizero Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 This has been the worst WC I've seen ('94 (albeit I wasn't paying too much attention, but I remember it being sexy.) - 2010). '98 was the best in my eyes. Compared to the ones I've seen this has been Poor, which is what I've gone for in the vote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Football is a lot more defensive nowadays. A lot more about being regimented, defending in numbers, keeping the ball and scoring on the counter. This is clearly on show at this World Cup. and tbh, I love it. How does that work? But yeah, I agree more or less. Just because the theory is to keep the ball, it doesn't mean you're actually going to. You should come see NOFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the way Inter won the Champions League. Why? Because they were playing to their strengthes. But Brazil's and Holland's strengthes are (or should be) the offense. And that's why I think they should play offensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are plenty of Brasilians who agree with you, but perhaps unfortunately, Dunga isn't one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 ok, sky news, bbc news, all uk papers, all are unanimous that this was a great world cup. go watch the news, educate yourself. stop sulking. if england were playing today it would be classed the best world cup since 66. like i said above. you see it as terrible because your team were crap I don't support any teams in it. It's been a shit world cup atmosphere wise, most pundits over here agree with my viewpoint as well. The world does not just revolve around the opinion of the British media. Not to mention the media is usuall always "It's a WC/EC, fucking great, man! Awesome! Wooooo!" to sell papers/get viewers no matter what the reality might be. I'm only on about the atmosphere/empty seats, mind. The matches have mostly been more than decent enough to warrant media praise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I've enjoyed it. Group matches were poor, but it's improved a lot in the knock out stages I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filflop1 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 its been poor probably cause just like league footy teams are more concerned about not getting beat than actually going out and having a go and winning games, some matches where just sooooo boring !!! and them horns ill be glad to see the back of them roll on the new season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Slippery Sam Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Been watching the WC's since 1970, and this one seems one of the most turgid to me. Don't know why, but it just hasn't gripped me at all. btw, my favourite team this WC has been Uruguay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 ok, sky news, bbc news, all uk papers, all are unanimous that this was a great world cup. Well of course, they have a product and ads to sell, they need to convince themselves and the people watching that it was a lot better than what it actually was. Atmosphere was the worst and most annoying ting about this tournament. As said, glad it's now over and we can move to something else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Jerusalem Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Utter, utter shit. Shit football Vuvuzela Referees that went from superb to utter utter shit, with no variance between. But my biggest problem with this World Cup, is empty stadiums. Well done Blatter, your ego turned the biggest competitive event in the world into the Sunday League.

Rich Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Naff. Probably had expectations that were far, far too high. newcastle/england supporter, talking about high expectations? classic I was talking purely game quality you pleb. Although now you mention it the rest of it (pitch quality, atmosphere quality, commentator quality) has been pretty garbage as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I think it's been obvious for quite a while than for the most part the CL produces higher quality football than the WC. The WC, of course, has all that mystique going for it and it's still the f***ing world championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that what you just said was about as mean as you get, then you still quantified it to make it less so. arnonel, you could learn a thing or two from Mike. For starters, how not to be such a massive arse with an even bigger chip on your shoulder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
