Welbeck is really doing a fine job.

Rooney put in a quality cross, but he's not covering back on the left wing at all. Should swap wings with Welbeck.

Sterling is playing well but he should be on Chellini as he'll badly expose his lack of pace at left back.

Also, they really need to get someone better co-commentating than PNev, even his brother would do for me right now despite how much that one annoys me.

It's Michael Owen without the unintentionally funny comments.

Why is Rooney wearing a long sleeve vest under his shirt in that heat?

Just waiting for one of the Italians to buckle sterling

I can see England getting a penalty if they run at Italy ... I think the Italy defence is nervous of Sterling and Sturridge.

It's ok, we already know. Chile beat Australia 3-1

I think he is referring to the fawning over Pirlo and Rooney in the thread

Thanx 4 The Fish

Darmian lad is a bit of a bright spark too. Footrace between him and sterling would be an interesting one.

Chip Whitley

Physio went over on his ankle during the celebrations for the goal apparently!

Lucas Hood

Seriously just swap Rooney & Welbeck.

DerekDGoldfish

Italy need to take Balo off and get Ciro (or anyone) on

Certain irony to the Physio getting injured.

Probably freaked out over the fly in his Chardonnay and went over on his ankle.

Rooney crosses with his left, sturridge finishes with his right.

That's what you practice with both feet.

Cancelled out Cahills horrendous effort early on out on the left that he tried ot clear with his right foot and put in to touch. Nothing worse than a player that cant even swing a left foot at the ball to clear it.

mike65

Hold on till half time England please, I want to hear Dunphy be kinder to England than he wants to be.

Beacause he's a completely overrated failure that should be dropped despite his almost record goal tally for club and country

Or so Twitter says

They all look tired already.

Red button on sky and listen to 5 live or just watch the games with no commentary

Gerrard has been Englands worst player. Surprisingly non existent.

Rooney's mammy ^^^

Francie Barrett

Brilliant half of football. Both teams playing a very different style, but both playing well. Could finish either way.

Kirby

You calling him fat? :P

Big boned :P

Darmian is a good fullback,just like Blind and Janmaat class players with brains.

mike65

Hart :eek:

Nuri Sahin

Oh my.. foolish from Hart.

Kenjataimu

Great header

Dozen Wicked Words

Fantastic Jagielka

Lovely attenpt

Lucas Hood

Cheeky effort from Mario.

Daithi MacG

My god hart what are you up to...

DildoFaggins

Jagielka

CurryFlavoured

Pirlo is something else.

Moneymaker

Verratti and Balotelli been very disappointing.

Sterling been motm by a mile.

Edit: As I say it Mario nearly scores.

Washington Irving

Hart caught in no man's land. Jagielka to the rescue.

Dempsey

That would have been a great finish!

The humid conditions in Manaus make it ideal for growing the hair follicles on his arms, if they are covered (almost like a greenhouse). These will then be transplanted onto his head after the tournament if they grow strong enough in the next week.

Francie Barrett

What the hell was Hart doing there? In no mans land.

Mickeroo

Unlucky mario.

it's not that surprising

LightningBlue

Balotelli is magic when he's on form. Great effort.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Gerrard half a yard off the pace of this game (and it is by no means high tempo) imagine a team that can move the ball with pace around him would cause England troubles.

Washington Irving

Brilliant half
