Uraguay looked average for the most part, they seemed to be missing Suarez quite a lot. Was interesting they didn't risk him when it was 2-1 for 20 mins or so.

Seemed a rather arrogant move, to me, not to use him. They said he was fit and 100%. So, that's either a lie or they are confident enough in getting results in their other 2 games (which will be hard the way they played today) and were willing to throw this one away. They did say in pregame reports that him sitting was highly likely because it was JUST Costa Rica. Oops?!

I have to agree, you should be playing your best team wherever possible, if he's fit then when you go behind like they did you bring him on because he can change the game for you.

Hey you.



Yes.

Get in there, Sturridge!

how nuts is that?

 

[RedAllan]

That was a close thing there.

 

[butters]

whoarrr, we were lucky there

 

[girlsmiley]

Italy again! Boom!

 

[RedAllan]

You knew he was going to pop up sooner orlater

 

[RedAllan]

We seem to be keeping the pressure on them.

 

[Queersetti]

Every time I hear the name Ciro Immobile, I start to sing the canzone from Rigoletto.

It isn't pretty.

 

[RedAllan]

These last couple of mins are getting worrying.

 

[RedAllan]

That was lucky for us

 

[RedAllan]

Italy 2 England 1

 

[RedAllan]

At least we didn't go down easy.

Guess you're a fan of the game that you wear body armour to avoid getting a boo-boo?

Difficult World Cup for England. A mostly new side of young players who are going to their first WC. I thought the team played well against a superior opposition. If we play like that (and replace people like Gerrard, Baines and Henderson) then we should comfortably win both games.

I didn't get to watch much of it, but I was shocked at the Uruguay-Costa Rica result. Is it possible CONCACAF is a little underrated? The U.S. is better than Costa Rica -- if they can pull off upsets, so can we.

I blame his 2 rounds of hair transplants.

I just can not get into soccer. Maybe it is because I am not familiar with the subtle rules, I don't know. To me it is like watching grass grow.

That's an important event in Manaus.
