The Winker's farewell

In no way does it make up for England, and it may be petty and small minded, but I do derive a degree of satisfaction in seeing Ronaldo and Portugal limp out after such a feeble performance.
Apart from "kicking away the blind man's stick" that was the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, they have been completely uninspiring.
We complain about the poor performance of England's "stars" but imagine the backlash if we had a bonafide "World's Best Player" who didn't perform.
That's all. Carry on.

i'm pissing myself
....Listening to Lawro's history lesson.....
At the risk of sounding pompous
or sentimental, I found it interesting and moving. And I'm not a big 'Lawro' fan (if such a thing exists). Told me something I didn't know - you wouldn't get that on ITV.
To be (mildly) fair...
..both Ronaldo and Rooney were working in systems that did not play to their strengths. But oh! for the days when a player would come and take control of a game rather than expect it to be laid on a plate for them.
Is there anything funnier
than seeing Ronaldo sitting on the grass, arms in the air, looking pathetically hard done by, because the referee wouldn't give him a free-kick?
No.
I hate to be a pedant
You've spelt "wanker" wrong
nothing to do with
Winker Watson then?
On your Nike, son
He's wearing the wrong boots.
It's an early bath for Cristiano Ronaldo, Ribéry, Drogba and Rooney, while Ibrahimovic and Arshavin never even clocked in.
Meanwhile the three most likely to - Messi, Villa and Özil - are all Adidas players playing for Adidas-sponsored sides.
The swoosh no longer looks quite so swish.
I'm
pleased Ronaldo finally played as well as Rooney. Crikey, how dire must the Premiership be if those two can score 30*-goals on that less-than-imperious form. (Yes, yes, I know the bovine-faced one was starved of service versus Spain, but his team was simply passed - and bypassed - to death.)
