>>152701999Germany almost lost to Algeria in the Ro16. Algeria countered all game long but failed to convert their chances. Granted, Germany had 4 central defenders that were struggling in their backline. Lahm was moved back a line after that game.

>>152701927No. Every World Cup will have 48 or 64 teams with as many minnows as possible, they will all be held in at least three countries and preferably oil dictatorships or classic dictatorships or the US. And there will be ad breaksAnd until everyone turns off the TV, this will not change. If anything, it will accelerate so that people in 100 years will say „if only World Cups still had some character like in 2030 when they held it with 64 teams in Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay“
>>152701927I preferred 2010 honestly. 2014 was the last decent one although I did like Croatia's 2018 run which was unfortunately cut short just to crown the monkey king Mbappe as the "next big thing".
