In what context?

The standard of football is shocking, the attitude of the major players shocking.

The shock results
The twists and turns
The passion (Japan/Argentina/Morocco)
The handbags (argies and the Dutch last night)
The stars - Messi, Modric, Mbappe, Ronaldo
Referees allowing so much more go, VAR working exceptionally well (so far)
England looking great (so far)
