But a poor game overall typical of the growing trend in international football anyway (don't want enough top-level club football to comment). Two very disciplined defences giving very few chances, and a game ultimately settled by a set-piece.
This World Cup had a good spell in the middle, and it's had more than its share of games which have been dramatic rather than memorable, but overall, I think it's not been a great tournament. Too one-dimensional to be a classic for me.
