Well-known Ukrainian journalist Artem Frankov commented on the results of the quarterfinal matches of the 2022 World Cup.
“So, by the semi-finals, only France remained from drain tanks in the tournament. But I would note another, much sadder consequence for football and the fan: in four matches of the 1/4 finals, at least twice (and if you look closely, even three times) the defense triumphed. It triumphed brightly and confidently, certainly attracting a host of followers around the world. We'll see what happens in the end, but for now, that's it. Just don’t rejoice now, and then complain, OK?” Frankov wrote in his telegram channel.
