Is this the best or the worst World Cup ever? It’s either been sh*t or brilliant

Has this World Cup been utter tosh or has it been brilliant? Do the players look knackered or refreshed? Every view is here.

Is this the worst World Cup ever?
For a change, I’m just talking about on the pitch. Out of the 23 games that have happened so far, has there even been a good game yet? So far to my knowledge, you’ve got Portugal v Ghana in the second half that took off. Saudi Arabia and Japan had early upsets, which are great, but Argentina and Germany were awful, so not sure you can consider it a great football match. Iran v Wales was quite fun but more thud and blunder than anything else. England, France and Spain have had moments against some incredibly poor opposition on the day…

And that’s about it. So lets roughly say for generosities’ sake about 180 minutes of good football, out of well over 2000 (about 2500 with all this injury time!) minutes played. And I’m not talking just goals, goals, goals, I genuinely mean just a good standard of football between two teams in football’s ultimate competition.

It has been so low on quality it’s almost laughable now. I mean so, so bad. The players look absolutely shattered, nearly all of the atmospheres have been drab. I can’t think of a worse tournament other than maybe 2010 in South Africa. Can anyone think of why this might be? We’re constantly told that players struggle at tournaments because they are coming off the back of a long hard season, which isn’t the case now. It’s hot, but is it THAT hot? Around 30 degrees maximum for the early kick offs, before cooling for the evening ones. Not crazily out of control hot.

This tournament needs to seriously wake up, because it’s sending everyone else to sleep. The boycotters are not missing anything so far. As comic book guy would say… Worst. World cup. Ever.

Is this World Cup brilliant?
Let me just shock you…I like winter Worlds Cups.

…Making my debut here in the F365 mailbox and I must say, despite the homoerotic nature of the constant United V Liverpool nonsense, it’s a great read.

Anyway to the reason I write – the general entertainment of this WC so far has been of the highest order. It may have something to do with supporting a Tottenham side who, under Conte, could turn a glass eye to sleep but I am enjoying this so much.

I’ve spent the last 6 years cursing the idea of a mid season WC but actually it’s…
