I think the tournament went down hill esp. after the group stages. There was too much blatant cheating, too many stoppages, too many stretchers coming on only for the player to get up as if nothing had happened, too many referees losing control, too many corporate tickets, laughable ticket allocations, and Christian Ronaldo. Fifa need to sort these issues out before the next world cup lest it descends into a shambles.
On the plus side there were some wonderful goals and a minimal amount of crowd trouble, which let's only hope can change the reputation of England fans once and for all (personally I thought the English support was fantastic and quite probably the best of the tournie).
The one change I would make if I was Fifa president was a directive that all players had to play to an effort and standard equivalent to their salaries. Not too much to ask is it?
