What a pile of overhyped crap. Far too many games failed to inspire or delight. FIFA are one of the most corrupt organisations in the world (which is saying something). Don't take my word for it, go to www.transparencyinsport.org a website devoted to exposing Blatter and his bent cronies. A further (tax free) £2billion has been squirrelled away by FIFA. It is no wonder that so much modern football sucks. The Dutch tonight were appalling - a showpiece for role models? Hardly, unless you want lessons in thuggery and whinging. Chest high tackles anyone? The nation who brought us 'total football' must be ashamed and stunned by the descent into barbarity.
Admired the German counter-attacking play, which at times was exhilarating. Intrigued by the car crash that is Maradonna 'managing' Argentina. Respected the Spanish midfield who can confound any opposition into impotence by sublime passing and movement - but it isn't thrilling.
A very disappointing world cup. Maybe it is time to move on from football and all the greed and gubbins that goes with it?
