What D'Ya Think Of It So Far?
Legendary British comedians Morecambe and Wise used to have a running gag that went something like this:
Ernie Wise (talking about the show): 'So, what do you think of it so far?'
Eric Morecambe: 'Rubbish!'.
And, frankly, that's how I feel about the 2010 World Cup Finals so far. I'm writing this before Italy play Paraguay, but so far only the opener between South Africa and Mexico and last night's demolition of Australia by Germany have really entertained.
Most of the football so far has been dour, lacking in either technical skill or entertainment value. The non-contest between South Korea and Greece has been the ultimate example of this, but France v Uruguay wasn't far behind.
Surely, when international teams reach the pinnacle of their aspirations, they could at least contrive to play like it.
Anyway, that's my opinion. I'd be interested in hearing yours.

Looking forward to knockout stages. Too many teams are cagey, even against the smaller countries. Play needs to open up so teams can let rip.
