Well it's soon over and I will miss it.
Not Brazil - but James of Colombia, Costa Rica's fantastic defence (think what they could have done with a proper striker?), Neuer's sweeping, the gone-missing long-range free kicks (the Brazuca ball's fault? or maybe it was ->), the stupid boots and dances, goal line tech (can't we simply have video - like in ice hockey and rugby and so on? oh no), the penalty shootouts, Alan Hansen's swansong, the disappointing performances of Japan and South Korea (what has happened?), Blatter's absence (was there really a secret VIP-tribune at some games?). England - more disappointment, if nothing else we could have hoped for an exciting round-of-16 crunch match, but it was not be.

The Germans also rebooted their football (think half of the first 11 played together at under-21 levels? - contrast with Stuart Pearce's rant about not being able to select 17 U21 players for U21 champs, the clubs would not let them).
It might be easy to go for the Klinsmann as laid-back surfer dude, I think he is a lot smarter than that. In England the Premiership+Sky/BT+massive egos of players&managers (well money in short) > FA so no English revolution can be expected. It's not the English way. But bless Greg Dyke for trying to and speaking some sense on the whole FIFA/Blatter mire.
