I actually really love the narrative that international football has grown into now. Its like 90's Wrestling.
Teams have developed identities and flat out refuse to change regardless of results or perception. Spain are going to lose having 3 shots on target and 92% possession. Germany save their best for the big occasion, a Scandinavian team will get much further than they have any right to scoring only from corners.
It's the only thing that holds my interest these days because it's largely dire football on show.
