How gutted I am now that both the footy and tennis has finished. The World Cup has been quite poor really but I still enjoyed it. It's football, it's the summer and it's a major tournament.

What a headbutt. That was the best thing in the whole tournament. I wonder at what point in turning back and looking at Materazzi did he think about a) assaulting him, and b) headbutting him in the chest. So unorthodox. He must have been reading Sun Tzu's The Art of War.

Though no excuses for it at all. I don't like the attitude that he should defend himself. That's his job and in football you get baited into situations like that - you're supposed to handle them. Same goes for Rooney. Should prison officers attack the inmates that verbally and physically abuse them?

But what does everyone else think? Was it inspired by a bull or a ram?
