FIFA president Sepp Blatter believes England were "unlucky" to be defeated 2-1 by Uruguay in Sao Paulo. He told Press Association Sport: "I watched the match on television and I think England were unlucky. England looked like a good team."
Asked if Suarez made the difference, Blatter added: "Maybe - but I think Uruguay had a very good goalkeeper and he made some good saves. This is football, these things can happen.
"I was speaking to the president of the Spanish FA and he said they had come here full of confidence, but now they are going home already. This is football."
Blatter proclaimed himself "a happy man" with the first week of the tournament in Brazil, especially with the quality of the football.
He said: "I am very happy man, very happy. The quality of the football has been the best there has ever been in the group stage, all the teams are attacking and there have been lots of goals. Look at my face - you can see I am very happy."
