I think it's been very good for the vast majority of the time. Aside from England's performances to date, I think I enjoyed Croatia's show against Argentina the most.

Except I will not watch Denmark as I find them extremely boring.

I'm conflicted about Croats. On the one hand, they're good catholics. On the other, my Serb mates used to delight in tales of slaughtering them, so clearly they did something to deserve it.
Politics is hard, isn't it?

Oh, they're keen ethno-fascists, obviously. But I find that's a fault I'm increasingly happy to overlook. And the Serbs aren't exactly a bed of roses in that regard.

Do you ever worry that we're the far right's useful idiots? :-(
(I don't)

No, because I have enough historical and political perspective not to fall for the ridiculous conflation of mainstream, rational conservatism with the far right.

Yeah, but you did just say you're happy to overlook ethno-fascists. That doesn't sound very "mainstream" :-(
