The blame he is getting is ridiculous, he set up the goal with a good cross and he's a top player.

Italy are masters of playing out time.

How much will Sterling be worth after tonight's game?

... I blame the Markets

All set for a sudden death game against Uruguay on Thursday. Whoever loses is going home.

You better stay behind that spray, ball.

Read my follow up post to that.

I'm not derogating his performance -- it's average by his standards. I said there are other Italian players the media should have focused on, players who have been more influential.

But it's fashionable to single out one player, and talk about penalties (which has nothing to do with this match!).

So close Pirlo. Eat your heart out Gerrard.

Italy will be laughing at us, they've had it easy. Complete lack of passion or inspiration for the past 30 mins.

You seem to think you are a superior football fan

Jesus Christ!

That useless Pirlo missed the target again!

Hart didn't have a clue...

3-1 would have been harsh but it says it all that Italy have gone far closer than us since the goal to scoring again.

Joe Hart helpless there, thank the crossbar pal

Bendy

It's me holy loofah Rhumble

England have fought the game, not let themselves down in my opinion

Aside from Stirling and Sturridge , this has been pretty abject.

Joe hart also has too many mistakes in him.

It seems Man Utd players should be exempt from criticism by some.

Hart needs to stop making dandruff adverts and start practising his goalkeeping skills!!

Fixed.

Johnson's crossing is hysterically awful.

Good tackle

He's had a stormer

Oh well.
