I think World Cup is way overrated.
First, you hear people who haven't seen football in years talk about football when it's the world cup. It's like no one knows shít but everyone has something to say.
When they hand out awards like Ballon d'or, etc.....
It seems that world cup is taken way too much in count. What the **** has Cannavaro done except a few good matches against the feared Ukraine, the stunning Australia, the powerful USA. And getting dribbled all night by John Carew.
Anyway, I agree with Wenger, FIFA is a terrible organization, Sepp Blatter publicly excused to Australia for the penalty awarded to Italy. So what does it mean to be World Champs, when the president sez "Well if you think about it, mabe you didn't deserve to be in QFs, you see the ref made a little mistake". Wenger also states that in World Cup we see a poor level of football and I agree, we saw some of the most boring matches of the year, and it was a waste of time. Please watch the UCL or Premiership.

Before the penalty shoot-out between France and Italy, before Fabio won to grab the cup. It was pretty clear it had been a terrible, awful and painful to watch tournament. So Itsly winning or not, is was a piece of craaap.

The argument that it is watched by billion of fans around the world does not justify that it's a quality tournament. Most people watch it for nationalism, see their country win, and don't really care if they saw a good game or their team deserved to win.

If you keep talking about it 6 months after the fact than yes it is given too much importance - give it a rest!

Yes. I completely agree with Wenger. But Cannavaro has been the best defender of the last 10 years, so why had he been nowhere near the Ballon d'Or and FIFA Player Of The Year before???? The World Cup was terrible, but the truth is they have all been pretty poor since 1990. You had a brilliant argument until you mentioned the Premiership - the self-proclaimed 'best league in the world' - because that is overrated, too(they can't even pass the ball, the all-round quality is terrible). Only now it is coming under real criticism. So watch Serie A and give me the points:D

No way dude......, Its the most played sport in the world and it gets the coveraged that it deserves, It is also the most watched spectacle in the world, so I do not agree with you at all, as far as Italy winning they fully deserved it, and Cannvaro has been brilliant for Madrid this season, and he will improve for Italy.
I am a great fan of UCL as well as Prem., but the World Cup is the ultimate stage for any footballer, whether their team advances to the next round or wins the Cup.. You quote Wenger so i presume that you are an Assnill fan........pathetic
I CANT WAIT TILL - 2010 SOUTH AFRICA, BRING IT ON ,and its not just me saying that its over a billion fans as well

The World Cup is the most watched sport worldwide and most exciting and enjoyable game, if you think it's overrated why are you asking this question?
The rest of the comments you've made is obviously coming from a person that hates Italians so you know what you can do with your bullshit comments!!!!
