Football!!!!!!!

The first semi-final has just finished and it was the match of the tournament so far. Two teams gave the rest of the world, but particularly England, a lesson in how the game is supposed to be played, at pace, on the grass, end to end... fantastic. Compare that with what England served up throughout the tournament and it's like a different sport. I love the World Cup!

Come on France, a final with Italy v France... Zidane's swansong, Italy mired in corruption playing beautiful football, toe to toe, it's what it's all about.
