Dotty Motty

A sampling of bloopers from the fortunately inimitable John Motson:

Even Brazil can't play without the ball."
Italy v Ghana

"What did they say the capacity was, Mark? Forty-three? I'll tell you, there's 35,000 English lads in here... oh, it's a goal! Who scored?"

"When you see scenes like that, you know you're watching the World Cup!"
England v Paraguay

"He's eccentric, so my Mexican friends tell me."
On the Mexican referee, Marco Rodriguez. England v Paraguay

"If it wasn't Brazil, you'd have to say they aren't playing that well."
Brazil v Croatia

"I don't think Totti's coming back!"
Stating the obvious when substitute for Italy's Totti, Camoranesi was already on the pitch against Ghana
