For four weeks billions of fans worldwide were subject to a feast of cheating, diving and time wasting, with few teams showing interest in scoring goals or involving themselves in anything resembling entertaining football. Goal averages almost reached the depths of Italia 90, with many teams scoring a single goal and advancing to the latter stages, with faceless and utterly disgusting teams like Switzerland and Ukraine making a mockery of football in general.

  • For four weeks billions of fans worldwide were subject to a feast of cheating, diving and time wasting, with few teams showing interest in scoring goals or involving themselves in anything resembling entertaining football. Goal averages almost reached the depths of Italia 90, with many teams scoring a single goal and advancing to the latter stages, with faceless and utterly disgusting teams like Switzerland and Ukraine making a mockery of football in general. The tournament was won by a dull Italy side on penalties over an equally dull French side in a match known only for a head butt. The top scorer was Miroslav Klose, who notched a lousy five goals. Strikers were so inept there were no hat tricks at all. England went out on penalties as always to the surprise of nobody.
