| World Cup failing to impress Let's leave the ridiculous vuvuzelas out of this (tradition? Who cares, it's the *World* Cup, not the *South Africa* Cup. It has to be enjoyable on a global scale - and the majority of comments I've seen indicate the rest of the world hate them as much as I do), and focus on more footballing matters. Fouls. Is it just me, or are there a higher frequency of dangerous ankle-high slides in the opening matches? The majority of which are worse than the studs-down slide by Tim Cahill (for which he was red-carded), highlighting inequalities in the refereeing of matches, but showing that the other refs are letting dangerous fouls go unpunished. The matches are dull. Blame the ball, blame the weather, blame whatever you like, but let's hope it's just opening day nerves because these matches are crap. Apart from the Germans stuffing 4 past the Aussies last night, there's hardly been anything of interest in 4 days of constant competition. Following on from this, all the pundits don't seem to want to be commentating. They're all laying into the quality, making quips about the excitement levels and generally looking annoyed they're being paid to watch these rather poor displays. Let's hope the Spanish, Portuguese and Brazilians can bring something to this, as it's hardly a spectacle as it is.
