Don't question Kel'Thuzad and his football knowledge. He GUARANTEED an England win at half-time because the Italian players who'd threatened all game were actually terrible and played for teams he'd never heard of - Uruguay must be like Luis Suarez and 10 latin guys he found at a bus stop.

I suppose you think if De Rossi had seen red for a two footed challenge that would also have been an "incorrect decision"?
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 guess he's not a fan of Serie A if he hasn't heard of most of the Italian players. |

If rumours are to be believed, Rooney will start up front on Thursday. I don't think I can remember a time when one England player had this level of pressure to deliver.

I don't know why he needs the pressure to deliver. Just simply drop him. I think England can at least get through to the knock out stages without him. We lose balance with him in the team. I mean just bring in Ox (if he is fit) on the left and leave Sturridge/Sterling where they are. He doesn't fit the system, is never good enough in the WC stages (0 goals is pathetic) and he'll obviously feel the pressure to score if he is at front. Can see us going out in the table because of our obsession thinking Rooney will just suddenly click. If he couldn't do it in 2006 and especially 2010 (when he was on top form at Man Utd) he'll never do it imo. |

Beckham regularly got slaughtered for his performance. Rooney got media hate during the last world cup to and he was still suffering from injury I think wasn't he? |

Sturridge should be up front and if Rooney has to play then play him behind. Rooney scores a lot of his goals on rebounds off the keeper.
It's amazing to see us have such a wide choice of strikers, lm and rm's to choose from! Who'd have ever thought you would see the likes of the ox, Walcott and Cole benched or not selected at all! I mean we've got Rooney, Sturridge, Sterling, Lalana, Barkley, Oxlaide-Chamberlain etc all to choose from! I remember when then best we had were Crouch and Heskey! |

Walcott is injured, he would have been selected otherwise.

Aboustely crazy when Sturridge is better in that position.

Gerrard and Lampard didn't have many good performances together but they always seemed to be in the team together the next match. |

I've posted it before - if Hodgson wants to play Rooney and Sturridge together, then he should play a diamond in midfield like Liverpool do. Sturridge can do the same things he does at Liverpool and Rooney adopt the Suarez role. Play Sterling at the top of the diamond with Henderson and Barkley either side and Gerrard holding.
Easier said than done but Hodgson should have been thinking of playing that way since he's playing so many Liverpool players in the team. |

Although I think he is terrible, I'm starting to feel sorry for Rooney. It's like a witch hunt against him akin to the one against Gazza in 1998 and we all know how great that turned out for England.

More good news for England http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-27889343 Quote:
Brazilian officials say they confiscated 39kg (86lb) of caramel spread from Uruguay's football team as it arrived in Brazil for the World Cup. The spread, called dulce de leche, is extremely popular in Uruguay but the Brazilian authorities said that as it was made with milk, it needed sanitary documentation which was lacking. Some fans are already blaming Uruguay's shock 3-1 defeat to Costa Rica on the lack of dulce de leche. Uruguay will play England on Thursday.

Credit where credit's due to Hodgson. He got a lot of stick when he was selected over Redknapp. But he has proved to be a very good manager. He's revolutionised the squad andmmade it younger. Dropping more favourable names for new youthful players who have more than proved themselves so far.
Plus it's good to see 4-4-2 ditched! Something Capello refused to do. |

A draw will just about do for England tomorrow, providing Italy beat Costa Rica on Friday. We would have a one goal advantage over Uruguay which would mean that if Uruguay beat Italy, we would have to match their winning margin in our game v Costa Rica to qualify.

Uncle Roy :-"Right lads, we want all six verses, acapella..."
God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us; God save the Queen! * * * O Lord our God arise, Scatter her enemies And make them fall; Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks, On Thee our hopes we fix, God save us all! * * * Thy choicest gifts in store On her be pleased to pour; Long may she reign; May she defend our laws, And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice, God save the Queen! * * * Not in this land alone, But be God’s mercies known, From shore to shore! Lord make the nations see, That men should brothers be, And form one family, The wide world over. * * * From every latent foe, From the assassins blow, God save the Queen! O’er her thine arm extend, For Britain’s sake defend, Our mother, prince, and friend, God save the Queen! * * * Lord grant that Marshal Wade May by thy mighty aid Victory bring. May he sedition hush, And like a torrent rush, Rebellious Scots to crush. God save the Queeeeeeeeeeeen ! * * * |

I don't have a good feeling about this match. Uruguay surely can't be as bad again as they were last Saturday. It's a shame we couldn't have played them first.

I agree Uruguay won't be as bad and you can probably get away with a draw |

We were by far the better team against Italy
That'd be why they lost? |
