So, once again, England fail miserably on penalties in the last 8 of the World Cup. it was very interesting being here in Argentina though. They celebrated every victory as though they had won the trophy and crowds gathered to celebrate at the city's obelisko.

We had to teach our American friends a thing or two about the passion of the beautiful game but even they were left heartbroken by Argentina's dramatic demise and, hopefully, by England's too. Russ was devastated once again, but it reminded him of an idiomatic phrase to teach his students - "to feel gutted"!
