Agree the background [ Qatar and its problems for the many was a bad vibe ] for those that went was "taking in moment" and were dedicated or good time to have a holiday and some football!
I have to say, I watched nearly all of the games and really enjoyed it....some really good football on display IMO..
well infantino said, it was the best world cup--ever!, he must have missed brazil 2014, now that was what a world cup should be,
As much as he’s a twat, I have to agree with him on this. That was the best World Cup final I can remember. I struggled to remember the final of 2014. Then I remembered it was the Germany v Argentina where the Argies never had a shot on target.
I'm happy some people enjoyed the world cup series, personally I hated the pompous people that ran it, I may be in the minority but I switched off my interest with the Southgate inspired England style of play, I think Lineker and Neville are a pair of over paid, over egotistical diddycoys, I'm happy that our own football has returned to Nige, Bristol City and our usual excitement.
just about somes up some of thoughts ... glad I was busty doing other stuff most of the time DID WATCH MOST OF the Wales England games ... smatterings of others saw FINAL Argentina winning 2-0 [ about 3 min before French goal ] didnt watch the ET OR PENALTIES THOUGH
Much as I hated the bribery, mistreatment of migrant workers, Lineker and Neville etc etc I succumbed to watching England. Then I enjoyed the 'lesser' nations refreshing style of football. Morocco were a breath of fresh air. I started watching the final with 65 minutes gone, don't get old, I thought it was a 7pm kick off. The ref did well, apart from not booking Messi, and added to a marvellous spectacle of football. Can't believe I wanted the French to win.
I wanted Messi to win, that I had to go with the Argies for once. I just wanted him to have that monkey removed from his back when everyone was saying but he’s never won a World Cup. And to know that massive Adam’s apple Christian Ronaldo crying last night.
