Despite my disinterest in football I was naturally hoping to see England advance further. But they did well.....better than expected....and according to some pundits showed great character and application in their gruelling ordeals.....90 minutes of footy (occasionally 120 mins) with a mere 2 or 3 days to recover.
The tennis has also been exciting.....with some protagonists facing 6 hours of concentrated athleticism and having to repeat it the following day.
The individuals, in both cases, are paid enormous sums for their efforts.
Presumably, counting the dosh is much more exhausting for footballers
