I guess if you go to certain places, you’re accepting you might get a beer shower. I can’t say I get why anyone would want to launch their jar, but I do sort of enjoy the visuals of it all going up the air. It’s interesting, though, how few proper, top-level centre-forwards are in the tournament, a trend that’s been operative for a while.
It’s possible that the academies are turning out all-round footballers now, but that doesn’t explain why those players who might once have played up front but are now playing wide, aren’t as physically imposing as the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane. Where are the big lads with a great first touch and a nose for goal? Ah, I’m not having this.
Spain’s departure wasn’t cruel, it was deserved. They lost to Japan from 1-0 up, unable to find an equaliser despite having 39 minutes and injury-time to do it, then couldn’t score in 120 minutes against Morocco and missed three of three penalties. Annoying, sure; upsetting, sure; cruel? Nah.
