I'm actually really enjoying it. The US know how to stage a large event.
The stadiums are good, the matches have been exciting with minnows getting results they were not expected to. Two big teams knocked out last night. Regarding England we've scored 6 and let in 2, keeping two clean sheets. Playing two teams who parked the bus.
It is easy to get all negative because of US politics, Infantino, ticket prices etc. But ignoring the political/corprate side, its been decent so far. I think I've watched about 80% of the games.
