Piers Morgan in one of his regular rants suggested that England's defeat of Australia in the World Cup was karma for the Australian's run out of the English player in the Cricket test match. Although entirely within the rules of Cricket apparently considered to be “not the done thing”.
Back to Football. I am not familiar with the rules of the game having been raised on Rugby Union is South Africa and then in Australia where Rugby League dominates in Queensland and New South Wales and Australian Rules is played everywhere else but there was something wrong about the way that the England players harassed the Spanish player preparing to take the penalty kick, including actually moving the ball. Presumably within the rules but it left a bad taste in the mouth.
I am pleased that Spain won.
