The World Cup so far? Surprisingly excellent

There’s a long-standing World Cup tradition that by the end of the tournament, when the television montages provide glorious two-minute summaries of a whole month that makes everything look wonderful, generally gets forgotten.It comes about five days in, when the presenter turns to the pundits and — almost breaking conventions of sport broadcasting — asks something like, “Is it fair to say we’re still waiting for the World Cup to really… burst into life?” This is generally followed by pundits saying that, with a bit of luck, things will pick up once Brazil (or sometimes Argentina) have played.No one has said anything like this about the 2026 World Cup.Advertisement
