    The World Cup Will Pick Up Guys
    Damn fellas, you guys are getting on the world cup hard for being rather low scoring. There are reasons, teams come out and play tight early in the Cup, each game that goes by they loosen up. Not to mention right now we have teams just looking to book a goal and pack it in to protect the 3 points. Wait until the next few games of the round robin when goal differential becomes a major factor in determining who advances. Then we will see teams kick it into gear for 90 minutes and put constant pressure on the net.

    Look at some of the games so far. Uruguay had no intentions of beating France. They packed in on defense and were playing to draw to put them in good position to advance. Slovakia packed it in today as well after going up 1-0 and it backfired on them. Spain hasn't played yet and the best match ups of the group stage are yet to come.

    I think you are right on point here. It won't pick up too drastic but it doesn't need to. But I would love to see a bit more offense and aggression. I can love a 0-0 game but not when teams are just sitting on it.

              I thought the Ivory Coast/Portugal game was pretty exciting for a 0-0 draw. Exciting game on right now. Chile is playing a very exciting brand.

                  I never thought 2 goals in a game would be considered a high scoring game now, lol.

                      The World Cup is exciting. If every shot scored a goal you would have been bitching about the goalies being soft.
