Bad things:
-The lack of atmosphere in the stadiums and the empty seats. Some because of ticketing problems some not.
-The top teams players being ruined by club seasons and coming into the event tired.
-Alot of teams playing a similar style of game which was boring at times.
-Either it was the ball or the players, but long range shots were going 20 metres wide sometimes.
-The referees and linesmans.
-The Italians with their conspiracy theories and then later on with the Perugia president etc etc.
-No real superstar players standing out like in other tournaments.
Good things:
-Smaller footballing nations doing well and the general evening out of world football. This just about makes up for all the bad things.
-Germany making the final.
-Turkey and Korea after the 3rd place game. That was good stuff.
-The most important positive thing that came out of the WC is I and all the other Aussies got to watch it in primetime.
I will add more if I forgot anything.
Overall it was an ok world cup and will be remembered for Korea making it so far and for all the upsets and big teams going out early.
