For amount of goals scored, the tournament has been shocking so far really.

It's too cagey, too much not wanting to lose, than playing to win.

It'll open up with the second wave of games I suspect.

 

 

To be fair he'd probably do better than the current lump they have upfront. Not scored in club football since 2014....

 

That and with the new format three draws gives you an 80% chance of qualifying or something ridiculous I read

You're giving yourself the answer in your own post - first group stage games are usually a low-scoring affair, as teams don't want to risk too much from the start.

Is that fact MC? I seem to remember there were quite a lot of goals scored in the first round of the last World Cup. But I could be talking crap. It's a funny decision really. Grab a win in your first game in this tournament (i.e. Play to win) and you're effectively through.

Every two years people moaning that the first games in a tournament are cagey Jesus lol

Don't think they have been either. I can't say I've been bored yet. It's just some teams are a bit more tactical/defensive. Which can be equally entertaining when it's done right. Just look at Italy!

Switzerland Albania and Norn Iron Poland were the only two I've found really hard to watch so far.

First half of ROI was quite bad for the neutral. Picked up in the second.

Edit: forgot Spain. Didn't watch that live, had it recorded and fast forwarded a lot of it. Dire.

Unexpected bonus there! Hungary to score first looked great value at 10/3 so I thought fook it and chucked a tenner at it.

40 odd back..reinvested ten of it back on btts...before the sending off!

Fuchs is actually having a shocker lol. Kept the guy onside and having a lot of trouble finding his own team-mates with passes!

the most positive contribution fuchs has made is twice kicking the ball out so a stretcher could come on
