DULL WORLD CUP GROUP STAGE? ITS NEARLY ALWAYS THE SAME!

Why are you surprised that the opening group stages matches have by and large been poor? Its is usually like that.Teams are cagey,worried about losing their opening game,scared of making mistakes.Knock-out football is a whole new ball game.9 of the opening 17 matches to date have been scoreless at half time.28 goals only have been scored and if you took away Germany's four against Australia you have just 24 in 16 games.Its been pretty boring at times. That has been the main topic of conversation this week.Sure there is a long away to go before the final on July 11.It will get better!
