roo couldn't do it

After yesterday's manic round of Terfel and Wagner, we feel justified in taking a lazy day, though we begin by taking the mattress off the bed and vacuuming the floor beneath. The cats must have taken a bird under there at some point, played with it to death, as is their custom, and then removed it to another location. The whole area is covered with a thick layer of feathers of all sizes. Finally the job is done, and we relax.

Shame about poor old England, who in the event were trounced by a much better side.
What I keep wondering though, is what happened to Rooney. He didn't have a single good game; indeed, he didn't have a single good 5 minutes at a time. Is there some sort of hidden problem, say in his family, that may emerge later? I can't think of another reason why a man with usually the most highly developed killer instinct, a man who before the tournament said to one someone: "I'm born to win"
And he is too, so what went wrong? And what of the others? Really, none of the England players distinguished themselves in any way: have they all got their own deep dark reasons, or was Capello the problem?
