People I feel sorry for:
Mikey. Just after he looked like he was finding his form.
Rooney. What a way to end the tornament.
Campbell. Because it was a goal, dammit. And he looked like he was crying with his head in Beckham's chest for a moment there at the end.
Vassel. Because there's nothing like a missed penalty.
People I'm annoyed with:
The Ref. For giving a free kick AGAINST Rooney after that injury.
Becks. Not for the missed penalty, just for the faulty work ethic and the lack of any kind of leadership. I just dunno what's come over him, he's been a total disaster all tournament. The missed penalty kinda topped it all off, but wasn't his fault as such.
The Ref. Cos it was a goal, dammit.
James. Not for any particular reason. I'm not blaming him. He just irritated me, mostly for not letting people help him on the goal line all match, which made me really tense even though we didn't conceed from that.
And did I mention, the Ref? For being a total pillock.
I don't usually blame the Ref, honest. But for god's sake.
People I'm proud of:
Campbell, for getting up and playing on after the goal which WAS a goal, dammit.
Mikey, for not crumbling when the pressure was on, and also for talking Rooney off the pitch when he was trying to be stupid and try to play on.
So. That's that for another two years.
