No, not really...two scoreless draws in the opening two matches?

There's normally a few scoreless draws to open major tournaments. Teams start off overly cautious and defensive to avoid starting in an early hole.

Euro 2012 opened with a 1-1 draw.

WC 2010 opened with 1-1 and 0-0.

You may see a few thrashings from horribly mismatched teams, but if the teams are close, then they'll play very close to the vest to get the draw.
