As I say, as poor as the players have been, the overriding problem is Hodgson. I thoroughly believe a decent manager would have got us through these games with the same squad.

England's crossing was abysmal. Looped high crosses at bad angles easy for the GK to catch.

Nice easy tie against Colombia in the next phase should England scrape through

What did we do to you?
Good news: Rooney scores!
Bad news: Half-fit Suarez scores 2!
Well, most people did say we would struggle to get out the group so......its going as we expected really isn't?

What's he like, scoring goals for his country.
No idea what all the raging is for, it's not like anyone was expecting us to get out of the group when the draw was made anyway!
Seeing Suarez and his mates celebrating like they're definitely though, I'd love it even more if we scrape through now.
I'm not having this any more, I'm supporting a proper team that wins things, I'm supporting Spain.
What?
What?
Mathematically it's possible for England to qualify. I have yet to calculate the Maths so bear with me.

He was finished before the tournament started but I suspect he won't stand down

If we scrape 2nd place we'll come up against Group C winners, likely Colombia who will tear us apart.
Very disappointing stuff from England. They should have kicked on and won after the equaliser but instead retreated back into their shells.......bad mental attitude.
At least we can't mess up Euro 2016 due to UEFA messing around with the format and ensuring even a mediocre England should make the knockout round at the very least.

If Italy beat Costa Rica they will rest every player of importance against Uruguay.

He better not have done! Never in all my days, there's no place for that in football.

Italy beat Costa Rica then Uruguay, and England beat Costa Rica 10-0.

I would say that's very harsh. We had our chances; we just didn't take them. On Saturday we were beaten by a team effort in a very close game. Tonight we were beaten by one man.
