Even though 4 of the last 5 games have been draws these matches are actually super hype. I can't wait to see how intense things'll get once we get into the playoffs
First year I have absolutely no hype for this. Football in 2024 sounds to me like the most boring game ever (And the 24 format is absolutely 0 hype, 3 days of round Swiss instead would have been a BANGER), it's impossible to look a game of football and doing nothing else, compared to rugby where i'm littérally glued to every game (And I probably have seen more game of Foot than Rugby in my life)
ADHD is probably in my case (I don't have tik tok, i'm a 28 old had that grew without social network). But that isn't an excuses for football, if I can be glued in Rugby (A game where they are so mush more pauses) thats not only an ADHD issues, in Rugby the score are huge buildup, sometime a team is on the verge of having a try for 10minutes where you cant move your eyes. While in football it's just counterattack, defense beating atk, rapid loss of ground advantage, penalty for dumb reason, and in some game it can even end 0-0.
I watch football since I was born, thats the first year I don't watch game (I only watched France 2nd half, and I was saying the game is fuking boring every 5min)
The format is horrible, a team that didn't win any game in group can qualigy because top 3/4 of majority of the group are qualified, you can even qualify going 1-2 and having no advantage.
Best format would have been 3 game of swiss round, after 3 game of swiss you have :
