Another World Cup, another England exit — and this one really stung. Maybe with hindsight we'll call the semis a decent achievement, but right now it just feels like another one that got away.

England aside, what a tournament. Loads of great games, and my worries about too many teams turned out to be completely unfounded.

But forget Spain — the real champion of this World Cup was TedBovis, winner of the TSBW World Cup Predictions League on a monster 194pts. Well done, Ted! We'll be in touch shortly via email with your prize details.
