Joachim Low says the tournament has had too many teams and thats why the quality has not been as good

Portugal/Hungary. Italy/Spain. Croatia/Spain.
There have been decent games. It does seem to have gotten worse as it's gone on, I admit.

That doesn't make any sense. Once it came down to the last 16 and 8, the quality should have come through

Doesn't a Portugal game feature in that episode?
The solution is obvious. Ban Portugal from football, now.

The bronze goal dictates that the last goal scored in extra time of a match is the winner, irrespective of the final score. So if both teams score once in extra time and it finishes level whoever got the second goal wins the match.

You have got more chance of this game going to a penalty shootout
