The 2010 World Cup may have brought the talents of Ozil, Khadera and Silva to light, and Spain dominating international football. But it was a drab affair with slow football, too many fouls and teams playing out for a draw. But this year's groups stages have prevailed where the last two World Cups failed. With fast flowing football, a lot of goals and more shocks than a Eastenders storyline.
Spain may be out and there era is well and truly over, but when one nations slips up, one comes up and England & Belgium look like to be forces in European and world football with great talents coming through in both squads. England may be eliminated but at least they can hold their heads up high and look to the future, and say they tried by attacking and taking game by the horns, something we haven't seen from England in past World Cups. Belgium look like a force to be reckon with, their rock steady defence with Vermalen, Komapant Vertonghen compliment by attacking talent such as Mierallas, Lukaku and the amazing Hazard. Belgium are hot favourites to go all the way this summer. It's just a shame England were just in wrong group at the same time.
This World Cup has brought more twist and turns than Ronaldo's tricks and flicks, and there all coming from Group G with the 2-1 win where USA beat Ghana, the 2-2 draw Germany and Ghana and yesterdays breathtaking encounter with Portugal and the USA. With so many goals and top players performing this is only the group stages so imagine when the knock out phase kicks long live the best World Cup of all time.
