Games when it's two bad teams playing boring conservative football or two good teams tediously cancelling each other out are dull. A supposedly good team being embarrassed like Portugal and England have been so far is hilarious.

Group stages naturally incentivise conservative football, but it's the fault of the structure, not the teams involved.

I'm doing some serious lols at all the portuguese b*tches crying about not being able to beat loving Iceland lol

It's not as shameful as the time they lost against Cape Verde, to be fair
