I know there are many World Cups we'll get to enjoy and it's always dangerous to make any kind of predictions or assumptions involving the future in any way, but this World Cup has been so abundantly fantastic and has had so much that I do have a niggling doubt about whether this is almost a freak occurrence - and whether future World Cups going back to the predominantly less remarkable fare they normally serve up.
Certainly when we consider the next two World Cups, Russia doesn't seem like the kind of place which'll offer conditions conducive to free-flowing, attacking football and Qatar seems even less ideal with its colossal heat and humidity - and heaven knows what kind of places will stage following tournaments with FIFA going where the money is, now where the ideal conditions for players are.
On that basis, therefore, if somebody told you this would be the best World Cup you'll ever see, would you be surprised?
