red. Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 World Cup bar Germany, Chile and Uruguay was pretty boring overall. I think Spain were representative of the World Cup overall in this way. They scored something like 8 goals in 7 games? Possibly making them the worst winners in terms of goals per game ratio?

MightyJordan Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 3/10 for me. The refs didn't do enough to prevent the players diving, England ended up with another reason to introduce goal-line technology, the vuvuzelas were annoying as hell, and the final wasn't really a football match, it was more like WWE! Oh, and yet again, an English ref screwed up in cup final, this time, costing the Netherlands the World Cup that they so rightly deserved.

Oh, and yet again, an English ref screwed up in cup final, this time, costing the Netherlands the World Cup that they so rightly deserved. England... and Mexico (although not "goal-line" tech, but some kind of video tech...). The final was really disapointing by all means... I'm so looking forward Brasil 2014...

Hani Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 6. Wasn't as good as 2006. The only team that played with class was Germany.

+KibosJ Subscriber² Posted July 12, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted July 12, 2010 Great that the Netherlands have won :D I'm joking btw: http://www.cbsnews.c...in6668199.shtml Some great teams this year.

Nick H. Supervisor Posted July 12, 2010 Supervisor Share Posted July 12, 2010 4/10 from me. Some horrible matches, poor decisions from referees, those f***ing vuvuzelas...I think I rarely enjoyed a game. The only thing that kept me watching was the surprising turnout of finalists.

Farstrider Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 6 The bad: The ball Vuvuzelas Refereeing Disappointing performances France and England The Finalists Diving Underwhelming Brazil once again Seeing Suarez made a national hero Tevez The good: Germany's football Beautiful Stadiums Ghana Netherlands may finally win Diego Forlan Ozil Just off the top of my head. Nice list: Pretty much agree with most of what you have said! I would add Siphiwe Tshabalala's goal for South Africa vs Mexico and Von Bronkhorst's goal vs Uruguay. There were others, but for me I enjoyed those the most!

neoadorable Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 good comments here. this was fun like all other world cups, but i agree the vuvuzelas and the refs were major issues. not sure if i'm disappointed with the US or not, didn't expect them to get even that far...but once they did it was a letdown they couldn't get to the quarterfinals at least. i'd say this was a decent world cup, not the most exciting, but at least the outcome and the location offered something different.

Steven P. Administrators Posted July 12, 2010 Administrators Share Posted July 12, 2010 Until they add technology to stamp out play-acting, diving and terrible refereeing decisions it will always be a 5/10 from me, some really good games, but also some very bad games.

christophulus Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 It was a shame to see how empty some of the stadiums were too. Not sure what happened there, couldn't they give more cheap (or free) seats away to locals?

bdsams Veteran Posted July 12, 2010 Veteran Share Posted July 12, 2010 I gave t a 7, would have been higher but the vuvuzelas ruined watching the game with sound on and the refs were quite bad....but thats every year :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/919096-wc-2010-how-do-you-rate-the-2010-football-world-cup/page/2/#findComment-592892648 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what happened there, couldn't they give more cheap (or free) seats away to locals? The attendance at stadiums during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa stood at 3.18 million after all 64 games, Fifa said in a statement. This is the third highest attendance of all World Cup tournaments, with the US in 1998 recording an attendance of 3.59 million people and Germany in 2006 recording 3.36 million. So not too bad when all is said and done!

Wait, we had strikers?!?! Jozy's work rate was an eye opener this tournament, but yeah. I give it a 3/10. Most teams played nowhere near their potential, and horrible calls was the norm from Henry's hand ball on.

RuudJacobs.NET Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 For amusement value I'm going to give it a straight 8, the lack of camera use and thus the ref mistakes + the nasty intentional fouls by all teams would make it a 4 but I enjoyed watching overall.
