Fergie: World Cups™ are rubbish!

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson rubbished the quality of play in South Africa compared to previous World Cups™.
According to Ferguson, only Spain played well in the 2010 World Cup, and the competition was too inconsistent in terms of quality after high expectations from fans.
"A lot of teams and a lot of players were disappointing at the World Cup," he said to the Guardian.
"There is only one team who took credit and that was Spain.
"They kept a reasonable momentum and playing style throughout the tournament. The rest were spasmodic or disappointing in their form and so were some of their best players.
"That just went towards what was a poor tournament.
"There could be a lot of reasons for that and expectation does come into it. Everyone always looks forward to the World Cup as if it is going to be the greatest thing ever but you have to go back to Mexico 1986 for the last good one."
He also added that Patrice Evra, a pivotal figure in the farcical French campaign and condemned for his part in the strike that followed Anelka's dismissal from the camp by coach Raymond Domenech, has been given extra time off by Ferguson to recover from what has been an exhausting past few years.
"We decided to give Patrice more rest," confirmed Ferguson. "Over the last five years he has played an average of 55 games a year."
"This summer he has had the World Cup as well so we felt he deserved another week's rest. He started training yesterday and won't be available until into the season
