All the games have been entertaining. And with ridiculous stoppage times. Almost a whole games worth and we're only on day 3.

Unless Argentina wins the whole damn thing and this is just a weird footnote, they should switch to baseball as their main sport or something. You don’t recover from this, just like 7-1.
 
Prepare to see my country Belgium get rekt. Our coach is a shit head playing a bunch of has beens/never beens. All hope on De bruyne, thats his only tactic. I'd be surprised if we manage to get 1 point over 3 games.

The England game was sick. 8 goals, some guy's face got smashed, clear evidence of ref-based cheating, uncomfortable politics. It had everything.

After that disallowed Ecuador goal 3 minutes in I thought we were in for a hell of a tournament. I'd actually take blatant corruption and controversy over these 0-0 snoozefests we've been getting.

Anyway, there's plenty of games left. They can't all be bangers. Amd there's plenty of time for the corruption to come out.

Nah, been watching football all my life and most of these games have been particularly boring and low on quality.

It's like most teams are scared of having a go.
Well, it is the first match for all teams. They are careful as they are getting familiar with the strategy of the other teams and they don’t want to risk it. Second round will be very different. I mean we have a historic surprise of Saudi Arabia which is 51 in fifa team ranking beating Argentina, 3 fifa team ranking and ending their 36 game streak in a world cup history win. This is enough to put fear on other teams to not be overconfident and play careful.

You want boring football? Watch obscure leagues and you will realize that this world cup is actually very entertaining even with 0-0 scores. High tactics and strategic play.
