World cup: disapointing so far

[aml]

Is it just me or is this world cup failed to live up to expectations from being over hyped in the media.Six games in and not a decent game worth to mention.

Every team out there is playing for a draw - the usual 1-0 win is just a bonus.

its far to early to cast judgement yet...the opening games are usually shite...wait for the final group games and the second round to decide how good it is.

I have to agree...........pretty poor standard thus far. A lot has been made of the new ball and the way it travels much further at altitude. When you look at things such as frees and corners and the way kickers are not hitting their target men, it may explain the goal drought. Plus obviously everybody is concentrating on defense at the moment so as not to lose matches.

I agree, wait till the big teams like Brazil , Spain and Holland to play hopefully there will be goals then

Its far too early to say that. The first round of the group matches ain't even over yet.

The games are pretty poor so far. It's still early yet as alot of the big teams have to play yet.

Anyway the knock out stages is where the real magic happens when its a do or die mentality.

They are even worse usually. Brazil are always boring at the start. The big teams generally try to coast along and save the best fro the matches that count most.

def disappointing standard and goal count so far... teams seem to be extreamly cautious.
