> proper "feast of football" as we used to say.

besides a significantly more common 4-3-3, I can't think of anything I particularly found entertaining - the waterworks, the extra VARs, the super special offside line. That's no feast. (and I can continue)

Despite all the bad things, I once again loved the whole tournament. Can’t wait for the next one.

Did you enjoy the finals resembling rugby, with one team not playing football at all?

Yup! We had a bunch of friends over. Good times were had by all.

Finals are boring more often than not. You just have to accept that. And when one of the team’s key skill is suffocating the other side, a game like that was to be expected. Only my mighty compatriots were able to crack the code… once.
