World Cup Diary - Day 13 England Catch the Bus

England limp home
A tedious 0-0 draw with surprise package Costa Rica ensured England at least left Brazil with a point, but there was little else to enthuse about in a dull game that was the type of thing we expected at least once from the Three Lions - so we shouldn't be disappointed. When BBC coverage spends the first 30 minutes of their match discussing the Italy v Uruguay game that was being played simultaneously in Natal before mentioning the home nation then you know something must be amiss.

Mind you the Uruguay victory that sent the Italians home, did have one major talking about. Am I the only one who finds Luis Suarez biting people very funny? When I was a boy a First Division player biting someone's ear off only brought a quick word as the ref run past. Man up yer jessie's!
