I know its almost over, with only the final to go. I haven't been watching it as the live broadcast is too late, or rather it is in the small hours of the morning form me. AndI'm not that interested in sport per se.

Tis all about national pride isn't it? Another heroic defeat for England. This the way the Australian elimination from the World Cup was represented by the media. Mythology is going to be woven.
It would be even worse for Brazil --- they were defeated by France. They were expected to win the World Cup. A trend or pattern that keeps repeating itself is that South American teams do not usually win in Europe - was confirmed last night when Brazil went out to France. And conversely, as K-Punk points out, European teams have never succeeded in South America.
