I absolutely agree it's been really dramatic fwiw. Even without seeing much i recognise that - Spain 7-0, then being ****. Germany's story. Japan being great. South Korea defying odds, Saudi Arabia doing Argentina. Morocco's run so far, Croatia beating Brazil, there's loads of great storylines.
It's a bit like if Vince McMahon was scripting the World Cup really. Maybe not got the quality but at least it's compelling
