Well that game summed up the tournament for me - not that exciting.
It was, on the whole, a disappointing World Cup with less than a handful of teams actually wanting to entertain - Germany, Argentina and in the latter stages, Uruguay.
Spain won despite not getting out of second gear and Holland were efficient with Brazil also falling into this category.
Some of the big teams decided not to show up at all! Think France, Italy and England.
None of the top players that we were expecting big things from performed at all, i.e Messi, Rooney, Ronaldo, Drogba, Torres...
The African nations excepting Ghana were very poor which was another disappointment.
Mick McCarthy's commentating was terrible but he wasn't the only one.
The pitches were cutting up badly and therefore prevented some of the games from being free flowing.
The standard of refereeing was below average to put it lightly.
You could add to this list the vuvuzelas but I didn't mind them - they tended to boost the atmosphere in otherwise poor games.
So I was very disappointed with this World Cup and the highlight of the tournament was Frank Lampard's 'goal', which kind of shows the poor quality of the football.
