this afrikan cup was a wierdo in my honest opinion, it will be a set back for the excellent memorable world cups we were having in the past.
brazil went for nothing, for its quality and class it should have outclassed dutch easily( the first dutch goal was a gift from brazilians themselves), and then the insane defeat of argentinians like 4-0 to germany cant be rationally explained. and italians exit from WC in the first round from minnows like slovakia
my honest opinion, the "better teams" lost their interest and the smaller teams are getting the world cup..
there were as few super stars in this world cup as it can get, esp no big names like ronaldo, toti, zidane, ronaldinio even managers like hiddink, fillipe scolari, klinsmann goal keepers like kahn, buffoon, that french world cup winning keeper etc, its was dreadfully awefull..
every world cup produces new young stars, but this WC hadnt any
