THERE'S NO ESCAPE FOR POOR FRANK

NICE BOAT - shame about the flag. Frank Lampard must have thought a luxury yacht on the Med was the perfect place to escape his World Cup nightmare.

But the England midfielder's summer was just about summed up when he had to step aboard past a Portugal flag.

Lampard missed England's first penalty in the shoot-out against Portugal in the quarter-final last weekend.

Nothing's plain sailing for Frank these days. (This I agree)
