Well, after an exhilarating month, it’s finally over. What are your World Cup takeaways? Gordon: In the early group stage it seemed that underdogs want to sit deep and counter attack. Big teams really don’t want to give up counter-attacks. The end-result was giving me slight Covid-ball PTSD as the ball was moved slowly around in a horseshoe shape for 90 shot-barren minutes! So thank your higher power of choice that things really improved later in the groups and then the knockouts turned into a truly wild ride!
