Welbeck survives yet again. I'd love to know what dirt he has on Hodgson.
Don't get all the Welbeck hate though, no let's take a chance on someone with limited International experience instead.

If England play at a high tempo and pace I can see them causing trouble that's a big if though

A lot of optimism surrounding England all of a sudden. Its refreshing given all the pessimism over the past 6 months. England good have shortened amongst all bookies, over the past 48 hours it seems 80-90% of people are expecting a positive result, sounds good!

![]() I've watched every game so far, but I'm seriously considering skipping this one, my nerves can't take it!!!!Trouble is, if I skip this game and they win, I have to skip all their games or they will lose. But then again, if I stick this out and they win, I have to watch all their games, and I might not survive it! I am pathetic

Well the complexion of things has certainly changed in the last hour. Both teams would be wise to push for the win now to capitalise on Uruguay's failure. They've been given an unexpected opportunity here to start very strongly. A draw would be letting them off the hook and would not really help either of them, especially considering Costa Rica would be holding the cards going into game two.

Calm down everyone. Sturridge is going to rip through the Italian defense. I can feel it my waters.

There's something about Roy Hodgson that doesn't inspire confidence. I dunno... wasn't he sacked as Liverpool manager cos he was... er a bit crap? I believe so.
I know it's standard procedure for Premier League managers to get sacked after they lose a few matches , but, playing devil's advocate, you could argue if he's not good enough for Liverpool how the heck is he good enough for England?!Still, you never know what can happen. We might win tonight but I can't see Hodgson as the right guy for England. Another no-hoper, I suspect. |

Very promising team up front. I'm nervous about the back tho. Just hope dropping the experience of Terry won't come back to haunt us.
Will be very interesting to see how Rooney performs as I think a lot of pressure will now be off him with our other strike options. |

The National Anthem roars. The pressure builds. All is at stake.
Total confidence - no regrets. Time to risk everything... |
