Well, all England can do now is hope Italy wins both their remaining games and then they'll have to beat Costa Rica themselves with a good enough goal difference.

Neh if Italy wins against Costa Rica their third match against Uruguay will be a draw.. They won't waste too much energy then

Suarez was clearly offside on his second goal...


The ball came off an English player, in that case Suarez was onside.



What fucks me off more than anything is that in BOTH games we were the better team. We had the better chances. We had MORE chances. We bossed possession.

ARRGHHH

The ball came from Gerrard not the Uruguay player, so he couldn't be offside.

Yeah a good dollop of bad luck with a pinch of sloppy defending and 2-1 is what follows. 

It's really annoying, because we are so much better this year than 2010. But we're unlucky, first with the group and next with the results.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Well, on a list where the first had no chance against #15 and #14.

Wait, the Netherlands are only #15?

Still it's not the end of the world.

Italy will likely beat Costa Rica. We should hopefully beat Costa Rica.

If Italy beat Uruguay (not the end of the world) then it all comes down to goal difference. That 3-1 loss could be quite the difference.

 

Or, far more likely, I'm just being a typical England hopeful?

Lol a bit of both I think. We need the next 3 results to go our way. Luckily they are the most likely results but anything can happen. If the results are right then goal difference will be in our favour, we'd just need to us and Italy to beat Costa Rica by a couple.

England pretty much gone then. Unless Italy win tonight and beat Uruguay and England thrash Costa Rica in the final game.

If Italy win tomorrow and against Uruguay, then England just need to beat Costa Rica to go through.



Hmm, pie.
