😴 Don’t nod off! This is the dullest first half of the World Cup

ARD commentator Tom Bartels called it the "most boring first half of this World Cup," and data portal 'Opta' can back that up with numbers. After 45 minutes, the score between England and Ghana in this tournament is still 0:0. 

According to 'Opta', there was not a single shot on target in the first half. "I’m very disappointed with the English," Bastian Schweinsteiger also said during the halftime break on 'ARD'.  

Striker Harry Kane is being missed by users online. Before the break, he had just five touches of the ball. 

From the perspective of all football fans, all that remains is to hope that goals finally come in the second half. Otherwise, some might find their eyes closing before the final whistle.
