Well that was certainly enjoyable
But the never-ending match between Isner and Mahut was a belter too. Two athletes playing almost constant tennis for 11 hours over the course of ~48 hours without complaint vs. footballers who often complain about having three 90-minute games in the space of a week while earning megabucks.
The past two weeks have really put me off football (not the sport, mainly the media circus and prima-donnas)
Then of course there are footballers who fall to the ground clutching their face in agony after being brushed on the arm vs. Mark Webber walking away cool-as-a-cucumber after a 200mph crash that really did give him wings. Just clarifies things sometimes.

Anyway I digress. I shall let us get back to the original topic, just after I've told Joey that despite my complaints about the World Cup, I did enjoy a certain Germany game last weekend
