Don’t think they was the concern, more the huge amount of boring team v boring team of which there have been many, I don’t suppose you took in Columbia v Ghana ? |  |

I did see quite a few moans about the supposed mismatches, but only saw a couple of minutes of Colombia v Ghana. | |

England v Cameroon in 1990 was supposed to be a horrendous mismatch.
We almost lost to them.
Argentina did. |  |

Its not like all World cup games before were exciting though! I have watched more than my fair share of World cup games that were absolute pish, and I wished I'd never bothered. This tournament doesn't seem to have had any more than usual. |  | | |

One of the worst WC matches that I have ever seen was England v Rep of Ireland during the 1990 WC.
It was repeated on iplayer during Covid so I watched it again - absolutely appalling with the ball being launched by both teams on a continuous loop. |  | | |

Get out...3-4 games! About half all international tournament football is nervous, turgid play. It's just the way it goes when risking being open, and expansive can mean losing your place in the competition, if you get the balance wrong. Any England fan should know that, especially after the Southgate era! [Post edited 4 Jul 11:05]

It’s been a thoroughly enjoyable WC - a couple one-sided scores but nothing extraordinary which you don’t regularly see in the PL or major tournaments. | | | |

Maybe we should restrict the FA Cup to 16 Premiership teams only. Too many boring games. Had enough lower league sides playing each other or setting up for a 1-0 win on the counter. |  |

I wouldn't say they were mismatches but this has been the most predictable world cup ever. Ever favourite won the group except Portugal who came 2nd and every 2nd round game was won by the favourite bar the penalty shootouts. |  |
