Seems like most Tournaments these days are an anti-climax. Every 2 years nothing changes for us, at least some of the stronger teams in Europe have also faded.
Iceland, Albania are just a few teams that are not miles behind the rest anymore.. Only in wages, perhaps that's the problem? Superstar celebrities, no heart for the game.
Agree with that. It seems the group stages are always very cagey, the favoured teams don't want to screw up at that stage and in a tournament where 3 draws (or one win) will likely see you get out of the group the games seem more defensive than they could be. Of course you would hope that once it gets to the knockout phase, teams will have to go for it, particularly if they fall behind, that should see some better games on offer.
