Tempting fate here as a tournament is normally only as good as it’s knockout games (Brazil 2014 turned to shit after a good group stage), but this is possibly the best tournament in over 20 years.
It’s not been high scoring, but that’s more a reflection on teams being evenly matched. There have been lots of interesting games, some cracking goals and possibly because of the last 18 months, it’s been great seeing crowds again.
I was so bored by 2016 I stopped watching the games - I’m hopeful this will be different.
Edit - this post was initially after the Denmark - Russia group game. Bumped for thoughts now the tournament is over.
