The Football.....

When is it that England start playing?

Not seen any highlights from that shower.

Andy,
Their final group stage match is tomorrow night at 10pm (UK time) against Panama.

It's an honest service that people like you do.

I'd be doomed without you.

What always stands out with the Brasilians (And this is a long way from the best of their teams) is how comfortable all their players are with the ball. It doesn't seem to matter how they receive it, it's under control in an instant and they're passing is confident and precise.

Too many British players look like they've never seen a football before when it arrives at their feet.

"Oh, those Brazilians, you know? Circa 1970? Broke the mould. Theory out the window. Free expression of football. Uncategorisable. Is that a word? It is now! You know? Far cry from small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts. Rush goalie. Two at the back, three in the middle, four up front, one's gone home for his tea. Beans on toast? Possibly, don't quote me on that. Marvellous."
