Germany yes, but France and Belgium - no cohesion, same for the Argies who's game plan is to rely on 1 player, Portugal is just an extreme version of that and Brazil haven't got started yet, I'd say that these teams have created their own problems as opposed to the opposition doing it for them.

Yeah that was the worst for me. Any tournament where the winner can score a grand total of 8 goals in 7 games and still be lauded as deserved winners is unquestionably a bad one. And aside from the final and England v Germany I struggle to remember a single other match from the tournament.

Same Uruguay as we see every WC; bundles of talent paired with boundless negativity. What a shame.
The referee in that game was quietly, relentlessly atrocious. Blew his whistle every time a player hit the ground, which encouraged more players to fall over at any opportunity. Lost count of the number of frees that weren't fouls. I'd expect that kind of primitive refereeing from a tinpot association, but not from a Frenchman.

Uruguay/Ghana match, particularly the Suarez incident was the only memorable moment of the competition.
Oh, and when ITV cut to a break when Gerrard scored. That was jokes.
Against Iran, as well.
Lucas Vazquez gives you work rate, but technically he's massively inferior to the rest of Spain's attacking players.

Iran disciplined, well drilled, and scrapping hard so far 20 minutes in. Spain have been trying to force it a little in my opinion rather than being patient. People like Vazquez, Isco, the fullbacks, have all been forcing play or losing the ball needlessly. Need to channel the play through Iniesta and Silva (who have both been a bit peripheral so far) and let them conduct the play.
