We'd have to beat Costa Rica and hope that Uruguay beat Italy, but not by more goals than we beat Costa Rica.
For what it's worth, I also agree with those who have said that Uruguay's approach against Italy on Tuesday could put Honduras's against France the other night well in the shade. |

Which does mean that England's group was far, far tougher than anyone imagined (but it looks suspiciously like England are the weakest of the four teams)

I think as fans we need to change as well, when Milner comes on we moan, yet he is a better winger than Sturridge or Wellbeck, playing him in his proper position would be better than playing Sturridge out wide. I bet if Barry was picked in the squad he would have got stick,,yet he is a much better holding midfielder than Gerrard, i think as fans we don't really know what we want for the best to be honest

The two teams that qualify (I think Costa Rica & Uruguay) will probably play Columbia and Ivory coast in the next round: I could see both group D teams beating either of those and making the quarters.

Knowing there's three games for each team isn't exactly the ins and outs, anyone with even the most basic football knowledge would know this, it's not expecting a lot. The problem on here is most of the views on this World Cup seem to be from non football fans, so it's difficult to take many seriously, especially with the various criticisms, sorry if my post come across as overly serious.
and I see what you mean but I haven't been like that at all, only asked this question ..

Italians attitude and effort in this game was poor - no matter if they won, drew or lost by one goal knew they would still need to draw against Uruguay to secure progression.

Got to say now it's all over quite pleased about this result and the fact we can take down either Italy or Uruguay with us
Very difficult group in end no good getting on roys back about it Capello, Eriksson, hoddle all got out of much easier groups by playing just as lousy |

I missed this game, but I'm shocked that Italy lost! And now they need to beat Uruguay, and that's by no means a foregone conclusion, given they have Suarez.

Agreed.
They didn't let the Italians settle, a far cry from the way English players continually seem to back off from tackles..... If they got any closer to them then romantic relationships could have developed. |

Bingo. What Waddle said last night.

Well done to Costa Rica, I managed to keep my eye on the match despite it being like Picadilly Circus in here
![]() True guts and determination and very deserving of the win, good luck to them in the next stage. |

The Costa Rican marking was excellent.
