England vs Uruguay - ITV1 19/6 8pm
Which formation will England play? Hoping Oxlade-Chamberlain and Suarez are back and fit enough to start. Wonder if Rooney will play on the left again or behind Sturridge. Plenty to ponder for Hodgson.

I honestly think we'll blow Uruguay away! We were by far the better team against Italy and if we replicate that performance we'll obliterate Uruguay!
3-0 to England |

BIB - Really? Don't get me wrong, I though England played well and certainly much better than usual, but I thought Italy outclassed England in the end. England just didn't have the same quality of players to rival the likes of Pirlo & Co.

Italy were comfortable and professional. They did what they always do - just enough to win the game. They were well set up tactically and, while England were better than usual, Italy were the team that took their chances and closed the game out. Deserved winners.

Italy didn't have anyone who came close to the performances of Sterling and Sturridge...

They've gotta play 5-3-2. For the love of God, play 5-3-2.

If Suarez if fit and starts I predict Uruguay to win. Uruguay, England and Costa Rica could all end up on 3 points.

We were camped in Italy's half for practically the entire second half...Italy couldn't get out. If we had been more clinical we'd have won and if the ref had awarded Gerard a penalty. Ref practically gave us F-ALL the whole game...was influenced by the crowd who were overwhelmingly in support of Italy
And Pirlo was sublime as always. MOTM between him and Sterling imo. |

If the ref had awarded Gerrard a penalty it would have been an incorrect decision. Italy played well enough to get over the line. If you would have been more clinical you would have won but you weren't and Italy were. That's why they're a dangerous team, despite what Lawro said in the build-up.
I'm actually surprised that so little has been made of the referee's performance on Saturday...he had an absoloute shocker and gave us nothing all night! Btw I'll make a prediction we'll be in the world cup longer than Italy...guaranteed! Italy are prone to slipping up against minnows, something which can not be said about England, and I wouldn't be surprised if Costa Rica beat them and qualify along with us! |

I think it's pretty clear that you're pretty ridiculously pro-England. What has De Rossi's tackle to do with the correct penalty decision? Are you suggesting a conspiracy?
Little has been made of the referee because it wasn't a particularly controversial game. |

If Suarez starts he won't be match fit anyway so not too worried.
Obviously Uruguay have to start him after losing the first game and say he's ready. |

England gotta win Thursday, cause this match is on ITV.
About time Adrian Chiles brought something good to the table. a lucky charm |

England need to be aware that Uruguay and Costa Rica might not be as attack minded as Italy. I was struck by the fact that even at 2-1 when Darmian had a chance to score Italy had a lot of players forward and England almost caught them on the counter. Uruguay and certainly Costa Rica might not be so ambitious. When Italy sat back in the last 20 England did struggle to come close. They can't just rely on the counter attack.
I'd be tempted to play an extra midfielder against Uruguay. Sterling Sturridge and Rooney up top. The full backs should get more cover that way. |
