Right, sorry. I kind of have this everlasting vision of Bolton as being the permanent manifestation of Sam Allardyce. I keep forgetting he's long gone.

I reserve the right to revoke this opinion if he scores, but for England and Rooney substitute Spain and Torres. He's completely out of it at the moment and they might well be better off replacing him in this game.

Why isn't Torres getting the abuse Rooney got? He's been equally poor, if not worse.
English papers don't really care about how big names on other teams are doing, especially whilst they're still carrying out loud, lengthy post-mortems into England's exit.

did i miss something or was that the biggest dive i've ever seen that got costa sent off?
Can't say a wry smile didn't creep across my face when I saw Ronaldo's face at the end
there was a picture here
David Villa...best player on the planet? Possibly!
smurf Capdevila and his little theatrics. Diving for a pen or a free kick in a key area is one thing, but acting like someone decked you to get them sent off is something else.
Also I think this game, Spain specificially, highlights why England are so dire. They always had someone there, in space, ready to support the man in possession. I remember during the Algeria game and there was never any option for the man on the ball but to hoof it down field hopefully. Not that England's players are capable of stringing together accurate passes like that anyway.
Also, yeah, hahaha Ronaldo. Wink at that, mate.
Spain pretty much bossed the game once they went ahead, though they'll probably have to play a similar waiting game against Paraguay now in the quarter-finals. Ronaldo wasn't given any decent service at all.

Spain deserved to go through in the end. My mouth waters at the prospect of a Spain V Argentina semi.
EDIT: David Villa is a smashing player. The thoughts of him playing with Barcelona scares me next season.

The Capdevila business was hilarious, I wonder if footballers ever think to themselves 'hang on, people are going to see me go down like a ton of bricks and acting like a pillock, and I might not be too popular as a result'. This incident is even funnier as the replay suggest that maybe Costa did try to clock him but missed (and the referee sent him off for the intent), so if that is the case, he would have gone anyway and Capdevila did his dying swan routine for nothing!

England - World Cup Champions 2014. You heard it here first, THE HYPE STARTS HERE!
I suppose Rooney can take some comfort in the fact that the 'best' players for a number of the other teams haven't been too hot either. That Nike advert about writing the future makes me laugh now.
To be fair, Rooney, Torres and Ronaldo all looked like they were suffering from injury hangovers.
Plus in the case of Ronaldo, being stuck on a team of not that great players. Rooney's been a shadow of his usual self since the Man Utd v Bayern Munich game.

Congratz to whoever just overtook me on the fantasy league by 10 points!
