I sincerely wished that the Swiss had rogered the french, but it didn't happen....
Brazil, apart from a couple of sprints didn't set the game alight, and ronaldo was a waste of space, his sub did more damage in the first ten minutes of play than the big man himself in all of his time on the pitch.
The only goal was good.
The policy of not wasting talent playing too many friendlies, worked for Italy quite well, 2 superb goals and an exciting game. They will go far... unless they met Korea again... In which case is the bus back home....
If it wasn't for the own goal... England was not even average in my mind. and not really worthy of a win, but that's football.
(how did you guess I was not English?)
