It was fine, but not unforgettable. Maybe the problem is that every big event now gets hyped for weeks, so anything short of spectacular feels disappointing.
I thought the cultural parts were the strongest. I would rather see something that represents the host country than a show that feels like a Super Bowl copy.
For me it dragged a little. I know ceremonies are part of the event, but once the teams are ready, I just want the match to start.
People are too harsh. It gave the tournament a big-event feeling, the stadium was alive, and everyone was talking about it. That means it did its job.
