Lo siento, soy inglés y estoy borracho.

I'm genuinely wondering if the morons around me who celebrated England's goal (to go ahead in a World Cup semi-final , against Argentina) by singing a full rendition of 10 German bombers attracted enough bad karma to cost us the game.

I wasn't playing. I wasn't watching at altitude. And I'm on the west coast of America so it's not even the middle of the night for me. I'm still fucking exhausted after that. Well done, lads. #England

I'm watching Mexico v Ecuador in a bar in downtown San Jose, where I'm one of about a dozen people not wearing Mexican colours, including the bar staff. At least I'm not wearing yellow.

Alan 'The Oracle' Shearer's insight on a Paraguay substitution in injury time at the end of extra time: "You'd assume he takes a penalty then." Thanks. For. That.
