I am finding it very difficult indeed to summon up any enthusiasm at all for events in Brazil, with regard to the beautiful game. The air of corruption surrounding Fifa and the obvious disenchantment of the Brazilian people with it all don't help, and compounded as they are with an England team that has next to no chance, that sort of wraps it up. (I thought they played as well as they could against a superior Italy and the scoreline was most reasonable in the circumstances.) Even the desolation of Spain after the Dutch had finished with them afforded little if any pleasure, given that Spain have played the game as it should be played for the last eight years.
Mind you, at least goals are being scored relatively freely. Who knows, if some unlikely nation blossoms and takes everyone by storm there might just be something worth staying up for. But so far, not really.
