I've seen 3 draws (one finished 1-1, the others 0-0) and one 1-0 result. That's 4 games out of 19 total so far that detractors of the sport would classify as stinkers. The other 15 have been excellent adverts for the game. And as the weaker teams are eliminated, it will only get better in the knockout rounds.
Furthermore, It's amusing that our detractors conveniently ignored the 5-1 drubbing of Spain, the 2-1 USA win, the 2-1 win by Italy over England, The 3-1 upset of Uruguay by Costa Rica, the 3-2 classic between Australia and the Dutch just today and of course the elimination and demolition of Spain by Chile 2-0. Doesn't support the narrative I suppose though.
I digress however. By all means....let's keeping ignoring the 54 goals that have been scored so far. Anything not to mess up the tired, cliched" not enough goals" gimmick.
Sorry man,three points per game from both teams is not enough scoring to keep me interested.
If you were getting five or six points from each team per game it might be more interesting. But the idea of sitting through 90 minutes of play knowing you'll be lucky to see your team score two points.......? No thanks.
