Its probably the poorest World Cup in some time but there has been some dramatic matches and Uruguay have been involved in two of them. Problem is the World Cup is just to big with 8 groups!!! Its diluted by too many inferior teams (not naming names and some did very well too) But they go out to play for boring draws and just aim to survive. The tournament really missed out on some of Europe`s most exciting teams Russia, Turkey and Croatia three teams that really excited at Euro 2008. There is also too much emphasis on the fitness/physical side of the game and there have been a lot of teams in these finals that have adopted this style. Star players just seem to arrive at WC`s more exhausted than ever and call me a old fashioned but for me the World Cup should be played in a HOT climate (Mexico, Spain and Italy) and these have probably provided the best World Cups over the last 25 years or so.............roll on Brazil 2014.
