Sterling needs to be careful now
That booking was bad, this game against Uruguay is going to be rough and everyone is going to keep their temper in control

I too have my concerns.
I didn't before today's matches. I just assumed Uruguay would beat Costa Rica and England's match with them wouldn't be as important for both teams as it is now. I've seen in previous tournaments what Uruguay can be like when their backs are against the wall. That sending off 5 seconds before the end of the Costa Rica match I fear might be an omen of what's in store for England. Are any of the England players susceptible to injury? |

Jack Wilshere is very injury prone, needs to be careful if he's playing.

If he is concentrating on 'being careful' he won't be the doing the stuff that he would be picked for in the first place. |

I'm not so worried about injurys as much as Uruguay trying to get players booked etc, Sterling got sent off in the friendly against Ecuador so he has to be careful after that yellow card yesterday, otherwise he could be out of final group game

Which is a ridiculous concept if you think about it for a minute.

Raheem Sterling is only little and doesn't look very strong. So a more physical defence, such as Uruguay, would probably give him problems, ie a kicking!
If things get desperate out there late in the game they probably won't mind risking a red card as long as they believe the risk is worth it. |

If things aren't going their way we know that the Uruguayans will turn it into a battle and we need to keep our heads.

England have quite a lot of younger players and they tend to be more hot-headed than the more experienced players if someone provokes them. If I recall correctly I think there have been a couple of occasions where this happened before. Was it Beckham and Rooney who got sent off in their first world cups? It's probably going to be a test of character as much as a test of ability in this next match. Has Rooney got a calmer temperament and more balanced than he used to be? |

It was a pretty soft yellow to be fair. The Italian challenges on Sturridge and Lallana were worse. |

When losing the Uruguayans will resort to "ugly " football
The likes of Rooney and Wilshire won't handle this very well and WILL retaliate Surely it is now a MUST win game or at the very least a DON'T lose game |

He probably won't play anyway....
It seems unthinkable that Hodgson would drop Sterling after that performance.....if we lose to Uruguay without him on the field, expect the return of the media backlash. |

All the debate on DS has been about whether Rooney should be dropped or not.

Sterling should have been taken off anyway as after his cramp he wasn't the same player ..Gus Poyet has said that Uruguay will use dirty tactics to win the game and we should be prepared for that !..I hope we get a tough referee !

If that were true they'd have players winding them up in every single game they play and they'd be suspended most the season.

I'm not ruling it out as a possibility any more than I am him landing a successful corner, but to say that both players are so easily manipulated into lashing out is basically wrong as it would happen all the time if true.

I don't believe in this "be careful" nonsense.
The players need to be going in with 100% commitment. Yes they shouldn't be stupid, but going in trying to be careful is the wrong attitude. If someone picks up a second yellow then so be it, we will have to manage. That is what the squad is there for. |
