I'm tired.
Tired of the late Brazilian kick offs.
Tired of commentators who don't understand that saying nothing is better than just talking to fill the silence.
Tired of potentially smart, opinionated terrestrial pundits being over-produced to the point of banality.
Tired of the commercialisation of the beautiful game.
Tired of the people who get into football for four weeks ever four years.
Tired of writing about all the things that piss me off about football, the coverage of football, the grotesque self-awareness of football, and how people behave within & around football.
But when Danny Sturridge equalised last night, I did a dance of pure joy.
I've realised that I'm tired because I ran 18K today and can't feel my legs.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go listen to Alan Shearer patronise Bosnians.
THE STORY SO FAR
Match of the tournament: Spain 1-5 Holland
Player of the tournament: Joel Campbell (Costa Rica)
Goal of the tournament: Robin Van Persie (Spain v HOLLAND) [1st goal]
