I don't know you that well: Are you ironically trying to be as bad at being a sportsman as Ronaldo, or are you being serious?

He's absolutely right tho. While the poo poo teams in World Cup usually means tons of goals, most of the lovely European teams know how to defend deep and park the bus - just look at how low scoring this tourny has been so far.

I hate the euros this year gently caress sake. Germany - Slovakia, Hungary - Belgium should not be knock out matches. Usually the euros had like one or two surprise team making it to the knockout, but with so many 3rd spot teams going through its just ridiculous - usually you just wanted the group matches to be over so the proper tournament could start, but this year there's an additional 8 matches before it proper starts

Those are 4 bad teams, but only one of them finished 3rd in their group.

I'm just mad about the general quality this year - it has been absolute shite

32 is an insane number, there'd be so many garbage teams that Spain fielding their B side against Kazakhstan wouldn't even be half interesting

Might as well drop qualifications then.. Which actually might be a good thing. 32 is a lot tho so just invite 4 South American teams, 2 from Africa and 2 from Asia, proper good tournament then.
