England v Italy 11 PM. (Mod warning linked in OP)

Gbear

Sturridge looks like he has a little bit of a dead leg after the foul a few minutes ago.

Boom__Boom

the fresh legs from England haven't done much.

brevity

Sturridge looks injured?

LightningBlue

The absolute fcuk... Lallana for Sturridge? Must be injured.

Rooney and Gerrard must have dirt on Hodgson.

I rewound it, the furthest Italian forward was shouldering an English player

Frankie Lee

Chielini did well on Sturridge.

Corholio

Italy have put themselves under this pressure with that Motta sub way too early.

rizzodun

The fact that Rooney has been so poor makes his pass for the goal all the more amazing. It's like he put all his talent into that cross and has nothing left until it recharges. Maybe he's just burned out.

LightningBlue

Ah Jesus Johnson.. what was that?

Kirby

Johnson. Useless.

Gbear

Sterling is damn good at weighting a pass correctly.

Nuri Sahin

That's the Glen Johnson I love.

Probably the end of his world cup given his history.

Will I Amnt

Lol @ Johnson now :pac: it's a comedy of errors.

Fatigue is killing England, no concentration going into the final ball

Que? He went 100% for accuracy, no power at all. It may as well have been a pass, comfortable for the keeper.

Jip was the reason for my ???

murpho999

Roy reminding me of his Liverpool days.

Looking bemused and bereft of ideas.

CurryFlavoured

Are the Irish supporting England on here, or have we got a lot of English users?

Mantis Toboggan

Jeez the football's gone to pot

DildoFaggins

Kyle Walker why must tho be injured

Wah?

He said "when the ref puts down the imaginary line......"
It's very much a physical line and not imaginary at all.

Tigerandahalf

Gerrard legs are gone. Nobody to replace him.

Stevie G and Rooney worst players for eng

Just because gerrard is quiet doesnt mean he is having a bad game, he is playing as a defensive midfielder in a midfield 2 against 3 italian midfielders, he is not the gerrard of old who is gonna bomb forward at every opportunity, wtf do people want him to do?

shrewdness

Some shocking displays of passing here.

Liam O

People are so desperate to stick the boot into Rooney it's pathetic. Set up a goal and not wasted possession but sure Sturridge has been fine.

Touch the ball?

MadYaker

Its gotten a bit boring now. Dunno how Rooney and Gerard are still on the pitch and they took Sturidge off?

DildoFaggins

Rooneys been fine blame Sturridge and Sterling for bottling it infront of goal.

Gbear

There's some sort of gravitational anomaly along Italy's left hand side.

microsim

There's a giant football magnet behind the England goal!!!

bad2dabone

England look knackered. That heat is killer.

Will I Amnt

Sterling now, the crossing is pathetic.

He also fluffed the best chance of the game

Heisenberg1

Classy from the England fan there.

rwg

Stevie G Free Kick coming up

Mars Bar

Rooney will be all over this one

MadYaker

Rooney to hoof this one out of the stadium

Dolph Starbeam

Great chance here.

efb

Rooney getting greedy.

LightningBlue

Ref forgot his cards.

Tigerandahalf

Sterling is in the wrong position now, cant threaten from there as he cant cross the ball.
Barkley not doing enough. If this is England's best it will be difficult for them.

Sterling had cramp, Sturridge got a knock.

Some of this England crossing takes me back to my youth watching Chris Morris whipping crosses into the stand playing for Ireland .

Zico

Crazy from De Rossi
