C'mon Britts, put your national pride aside for a moment here. You were supposed to lose this one, a draw would be a big surprise on your part. The brutal reality is that you never really stood a chance in this group and only the injury to Suarez allows you to still have hope about advancing to the next round. Your next game is going to be extreemely interesting, as both teams will be playing for dear life and you actually played much better than expected in the first game (I give you credit - didn't expect that much from your team!). Pity that Suarez still isn't ready to play more than 20 minutes :(

PS. I'm gona lol so hard if Costa Rica advances out of this group :D

^ I like you

EDIT the guy above rol i like, he weazeled his way in between the posts

lovely result.. up italia.. now hope costa R or Uruguay beats england out

Indeed.

I still don't understand why we seem so intent on holding onto "vintage" players in the England squad. Best thing they could have done after 2010 was start again from scratch with young blood, give them time for gel as a team etc. We did it in Rugby and Cricket and it paid dividends.

dafuq.. young players played today. what more do you want. they just had to lose, plain and simple. its england remember =D

He does. Had a good season with Galatasaray and played in the CL.

I don't get that any semi decent team would use rooney, he just lacks any professionality, yes he was/is talented, but he is also a lazy sob

?

Really? And of what consequence is it to you?

after that brilliant cross for the 1-1 Rooney realised that that's not how he usually plays in WC games and tried hard to get back into his normal WC form
