I agree here. This World Cup in the middle of the season resembled either exhibition games or fixed games. There was no feeling of historicity of what was happening. This tournament was based on money from the very beginning to the very end, and I have no good attitude towards such things. But in fairness, I should note that if you look at the trend, then maybe this is just a consequence of the fact that the national team tournaments are gradually dying. I'll test my feelings at Euro 2024, maybe I'm wrong.
It was not that entertaining as it is in the normal time in summer when it is held in Europe,South America or North America,we are used to such World Cups and we were not used to the tournament being played in November which was boring and it was double boring because it stopped our beloved Premier League and other major leagues.I had the feeling that the teams were not performing to their fullest but that is because most teams were experimenting with new players,we will really see how good this new teams like Spain which I think will grow really nice to give us a big surprise maybe in the 2024 Euro.
And this tournament was perceived much worse than the traditional ones because of the League of Nations. Most of the top teams played like shit in the Nations League because this tournament is, in fact, not interesting for anyone. And after we see when the top teams play like shit, it seems that the football of the national teams is a miserable sight and this feeling is carried over to the next tournament, which was the World Cup.
there is always another game going behind the real game - and we are unaware of it.
Not always what we see on our TV is a fair game. And let's take thing in a lighter mood and move on!
