Terrible world cup. I thought the last one wasn't that good, but this certianly puts things into perspective.
Too many things to blame really.
The overally defensive football most teams played. We had one farce already when Greece won the last Euro cup with some of the most boring football you'll ever see, and although we didn't quite reach those depths, it was still very disappointing. Unfortunately, this is a problem I don't see how it's going to be resolved. Maybe we just have to get used to it.
The refereeing. Especially the thing with the red cards. It seemed like you only needed to look someone the wrong way and you would have been off. The fault though should carry FIFA and their stupid new rules.
The lack of fairplay. Although some teams could not be faulted for it, others more than made up *cough*Portugal*cough*.
There were a few great moments, and quite a lot of brilliant goals, but overall it just didn't live up to it's name.
