Roy Hodgson and his FA colleagues will be very thankful to Luis Suarez today.
The England team landed at Manchester airport this afternoon, back on home soil before half of the groups have even finished playing.
But there was no flash of photographers' bulbs, no hounding from the broadcast media, no security forces needed to usher them to baggage collection.
Because everyone is talking about Suarez. England's limp campaign has already been consigned to the archives, with pub quiz compilers already making note of the XI who started against Costa Rica yesterday.
