I guess the way football is played these days, elbowing someone is considered one of the lesser offences.

Didn't watch the England game earlier today due to the cricket but it seems quite fitting that our best result of the tournament came in a goalless game. How did the players play?

Sounds like Rooney vs Uruguay. Missed simple chances before finally converting one.

Colombia bring on their 43 year old goalkeeper. Oldest player ever at a World Cup apparently.
