Boring...boring...2010 World Cup, How Do You Think?

    Matchday 1 has ended, and all teams has been playing. I think this 2010 World Cup is a little bit below expectations because of some factors, such as:
    1. Where are the goals? Many match ended up in 0-0, 1-1, or 1-0. Too many defensive strategies.
    2. Players seem can't keep the ball down when they shoot on goal, because of Jabulani, the ball?
    3. Too many red cards! They seem to be very tense in this biggest show on earth.
    4. Vuvuzela is too loud! Can't hear fans singing, or crowds cheering and whistling.

    It's still three more weeks of football though, I hope things will get better.
    Got your own opinion you like to share?

    This is always happen on the first few game during the worldcup since the team are still in "warm up" form, and the game sure will be better and better

    I agree with everything you said. This is the worst opening to aworld cup I can remember. I was impressed with Uruguay last night and Germany against Australia. Apart from that its been quite boring - low scoring matches, defensive tactics. The Vuvuzelas are horrendous, you cant here any of the bands or chanting - completely ruins the atomsphere IMO

    I guess it has something to do with the fact that its the first match, the ball is different and maybe the height? Atleast its not a WK like 2002 or 2006.

    France just got beaten by Mexico 2-0

    Uruguay and Mexico are topping their group with 4 points and France and South Africa are last with 1 points, nothing is done yet but as Mexico play Uruguay next round they both know that a draw will do the job.

    France sucks

    France were well beaten by Mexico and they look like they're going home early. I had £5 on each Argentina and France to win the World Cup but I guess France have lost me £5. At least the Argies are playing well :-D

    France 0-2 Mexico highlights

    It was boring until I watched North Korea vs Brazil. They certainly gave them a run for their money! Then today Argentina vs South Korea, watching Messi in action. It's getting better and better!

    For the preliminary games the World Cup, there has not been much scoring, it has been a little boring.

    Things will live in up, as the competition becomes much closer, and a championship is on the line.

    If the World Cup is not good enough, you can still turn your programs on the Jerry Springer Show...
