Re: 2018 Football World Cup News and Prediction Tournament
Contrary to some other folks opinions, I think the games were great as a whole. Entertaining games where plenty, a lot of goals scored, some of them really fantastic, lot's of surprises, many big teams going out at early stages, Croatia very surprising achievement, VAR has proved to be a good solution, needs developing and hopefully can cut out the theatrics of the players (if proven by VAR, acting should be punished by banning from matches, maybe 1 or 2 first and if repeated then by more), Russia organized very good games. So many positives and I think the top three were the top teams not only by winning the medals but by the way, they performed, although Croatia had relatively easy road to the semi-finals, as did England.

I don't know if you're referring to any of my comments. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I was disappointed with the standard of some teams i.e. in the past some teams have seemed to be overflowing with superstars - they seemed to be more evenly spread out this tournament, which meant no team particularly impressed me, but I've definitely enjoyed it.
The one thing it has brought home to me is what a bunch of cheats and whingers the Latin Americans and Africans are. Because of their prominence in Thai football, I now understand Thai football a lot better.
A very good tournament in my opinion.

Out of interest, is that wooden spoon correct? That's at least 3 wooden spoons awarded to RZR and a Yellow Cap. Quite a remarkable placing if correct.

I asked Superbru to paste the spoon next to RZR's name permanently.
