It’s been a tough World Cup to watch so far. Stressful springs to mind. It was painful enough watching the Socceroos miss qualification to the round of 16 — especially as they were improving and went out on a high.

Last night it was England’s turn. But this was a different story. A team on paper which screams talent but on the pitch lacks cohesion, urgency, shape and ‘teeth’. With goal-line technology Lampard’s goal would have stood  This could have swung the match – but it did not. The Germans took the game to England and they were far superior and far more exciting to watch (it pains me to say this but it’s true). The strong, swift and lone eagle outwitted, outplayed and mauled the three lions.
