Having just watched the first half of the Bolivia v Argentina game and the word that springs to mind is corruption.

Forget altitude, forget the bobbly pitch, the poor defending seems almost too deliberate. I've lost count of the amount of times Argentinian defenders have ran past the ball to allow the attacker to waltz past them. The Bolivian team wouldn't beat the likes of Everton or Aston Villa, they are pants. The third goal was the worst, Argentina gave the ball away and half their players stood still and walked back having a joke with each other.

1-0 with a goal from a corner I could understand, but 6-1 with behaviour like that from Argentina makes me doubt their integrity.

I was impressed with the England performance, I think there were very good signs from the midfield linking together and the Rooney and Gerrard combo was quite encouraging, seems to e a confidence and happiness in the camp, all bodes well for 2010.

Still awaiting the traditional England screw up.

I'm so relieved.

For about ten minutes I thought we weren't going to win the World Cup after all, that Capello was another useless foreigner and we needed an Englishman in charge who has the passion for the job, and could get the lads motivated , because we invented the game and should always beat teams like Ukraine.

I was wrong to fear that though, proved when our brave, glorious leader JT stepped up to see us home, they might as well give us the trophy now.
