And for the record, the first games in pool play have been quite good:

* Most goals through the first 15 matches since 1958
* 13 of 15 matches have had three or more goals
* 27 of the 47 goals in the tournament have come in the second half with 12 of them coming with fifteen minutes or less to play
* Six of the games have featured come-from-behind wins
* only one draw in the first 15 matches.

Give it a chance. Like any sport, it needs to be appreciated before it can be fairly judged.
