Not much flair, lots of mistakes, big teams hanging on for 1-0's like their lives depended on it. Who's been the stand out side so far? |

Not a surprise is it? The club game has been mediocre for years with the ridiculous disparity and financial dominance of a few elite teams. Not much room for tactical advancements and innovation when 3/4 teams can buy anyone they want and sit them on their bench, destroy everyone else through sheer talent.
Fewer absolute top level players around than in previous eras in my opinion. Messi and Ronaldo have dominated for 15 years and the current pretenders, Neymar, Griezeman, Dybala, Pogba etc are some way off. Neymar might have come close before his PSG career stall. Missing the Dutch and the Italians, very few top performances, team or individual so far. |

Nowhere near as good as the last one so far but not that different from most I’ve seen, which have often underwhelmed a tad. Some romanticised World Cups like ‘90 and ‘94 were slaughtered at the time by all accounts. And after the 2002 %@#$&!s I have appreciation for any World Cup on at a decent hour.
Plus we watch too much football now and are fed too many memories via YouTube. Football is often a bit shit. |

Been enjoying it tbh, just a shame a lot of the smaller nations in particular are really struggling to score goals. Watching Peru earlier was quite sad
Seems like the bigger countries are waiting until the knockout stages to really get going. Or in Argentina's case possibly not at all. |
