Boring games, half empty stadiums, Vuvuzel's being used by every country blocking out the unique characteristics of each nations support.
No one has really consistently impressed, bar Tevez... which is a it weird.
Overall i've been really disappointed.
Starting to agree, the quality of football has been very poor indeed

Champions League is the highest standard of footy now I think. The Bosman ruling started the shift away from International footy being a step up.

Probably a different thread this, but do you think that we now know too much about most of the players? In that, we are no longer surprised by real talent (Tevez) and despair about the ones we expect much from (Torres)?
Years ago, the WC was exciting because it allowed a chance to see some players that we had never seen. That doesn't seem to happen that much now.

Definitely true as the top players see each other every year in the CL

I agree to a certain degree but the likes of Ozil for Germany and Melo for Brazil and that left back for mexico (name escapes me) are more household names now
I've enjoyed it. Grounds have been mostly full - (you forget Euro 96!)GStar said:Worst World Cup in recent memory...

Robinho, Tevez, Messi, Sanchez, Bastos, Ozil, Klose, Schneider (sp), Forlan and many others played well
I expected Torres and Ronaldo to flop. They were struggling before the tournament started
The opening games were negative, and in the knock out games there have been 1 or 2 games that have been poor, but overall it's been better than ever.
The Asian teams have advanced a lot. Everyone was wondering what the African teams would do, but it looks like the Koreans and Japanese have shown the biggest improvement

Ronaldo is about the most selfish player I've ever seen on the pitch, without question. What he kept doing tonight was nothing disgraceful.
There are two types of players, the ones who play for the team and the ones who play for themselves. Ronaldo is wituout question a leader in the second group. Everything he does on the pitch is for himself and it's infuriating to watch, so it must be unbearable to fans and his teammates.
