Thought the Russian 2018 World Cup was one of the 2 best organised World Cups along with Germany 2006.There were far more good matches in 2018 than in 2006 and the best team in the tournament France won which was not the case in 2006 (a below average Italian team as in the last Euros) and often is not.
