Oh dear

Well, they got further than I expected, but in five matches, England only really played four good halves.

Something no-one's mentioned on TV yet was Dyer's performance. Did he think he was playing rugby - did he make a single forward pass?

Oh, the other two World Cup thoughts

... although Ireland went out a round earlier than England, they should be prouder of their achievement. What England Dyer-ly lacked today, the first time they needed it, was the Irish 'we're behind but we ain't beat' mentality.

... given who's left, the ultimate winner has to be Brazil or Germany. So it probably will be someone like South Korea.
