Doubt he cares that you love him either

I love how he plays football.

No idea what he's really like but he seems decent enough in interviews.

A Greedy Algorithm

How is Welbeck even in the squad never mind the team.

He does nothing but roll around the ground, he never looks up either just runs like a blind bull until he falls down.

Gerrard has controlled the midfield, its everyone else being caught out in possession.

Aye. Think its lazy analysis to say that he's been poor.

Its all playing into Costa Rica's hands .

Agueroooo

It's getting embarrassing.

Passing from England has been sloppy.

Wayne Rooney has been one of the better players if not the best player for England?
Have my ears deceived me?

ctrl-alt-delete

Hodgson needs to change this at half time.

Losing this in the middle of the park.

Baines has been poor creatively, I don't think Henderson has been up to much either.

Don't tell me - Sturridge & Welbeck? It is cos they is black?

Got Sturridge and Sterling mixed up at one stage.

If England lose they will be moaning forever about how Godin should've been sent off :rolleyes:

But if England loose they are gone surely ??

Amazingly no, there are 81 result combinations and at least one of them means England could qualify on three points if they have the best g/d

England should be getting Sterling to run at Godin.

Guy in the pub just slagged off "Welbeck" for knocking the ball out of play, when he saw it was actually Sturridge he blamed Welbeck for not being there to recieve the ball.

Even if England do lose, they should still get out of the group. Italy would have to be favoured to beat Uruguay and subsequently England would only need to beat Costa Rica to do so.

Not entirely true. It would come down to goal difference with 3 teams on 3 points.

Does it not go on head to head

Cahill just stood there and watched Suarez run past him.

I doubt if George actually knows who the Wolfe Tones are...

Nope, he called Johnson 'Jagielka'.

Francie Barrett

Welbeck Baines and Rooney need to be hauled off.

You're watching the game with your ears?

all right so, let's listen to some bullshít from Dunphy :pac:

kevohmsford

Half time 1-0 Uruguay. Poor enough game.

Stevecw

Sets up some 2nd half now. Surely Barkley will be on, maybe Lambert soon enough too.

Lucifer MorningStar

Wonder what the RTE panel will have to say now

Goal difference AFAIK.

Rayne Wooney

For years England have been aspiring to be like Spain and you could say now they're probably better, small consolation

GreNoLi

England have a dearth of bastards in their team while Uruguay have them in abundance, very passive performance.

shano_88

Wilshere for Gerrard. Won't happen though.

CountyHurler

How the f**k has Donal Skehan got an ad in one of the biggest world cup matches... Thats a waste of advertising space..

Even I could cook what he cooks.... "Tonight we will be making what is called a "SAND-WICH" "...

Nuri Sahin

England can consider themselves fairly unlucky with Godin not picking up a second yellow, but Rooney SHOULD have scored anyway.

TimeToShine

Lallana needs to come on.

Half that team look like they don't give a ****

Apparently, he also shot Kennedy.

Far more pressing issues. Think that would be a daft substitution, myself.

Think Welbeck should come off for Lallana. Get Sterling central, go with 2 up top, Sturridge and Rooney.

Wishere has too much of a habit of running into traffic and losing the ball.
Eng can't make the required changes with just 3 subs allowed.

Do elaborate.

Barry for Gerrard
Cole for Baines

If Welbeck shot at Kennedy, he'd miss.

Shows people shouldn't judge a team by one game. Uruguay are a great team.

Dapics

England's problems lie in the centre of midfield. It is from here that the attacking prowess of a team is dictated.

Henderson looks bereft of confidence and has failed 3/5 forward passes, the rest have been side to side or a backpass. Very unispiring from him and he really needs to be hauled off.

Gerrard is an also-ran. Uruquay are just running players past him. He has no pace and this is being exploited heavily.

Hart is terrible.

gandalf

LOL UTV still have the dodgy slightly racist "Refundino" ad on!

Bacchus

Enjoying this game. It's quite evenly matched and open. Suarez is the difference though, England had their chance to take the lead and missed, Suarez took his chance.

Rooney has been very impressive for England. As has Sterling. Baines is a weak link and Wellbeck is great one moment, clumsy the next. Gerrard having another quiet game, might be one international tournament too many for him.

mike65

I can't wait for this to end really (whenever it does) cos there should be P45s for Rooney, Baines, Gerrard, Johnson, Lampard and one or two others with regard to Euro 2016. Start fresh - no one over 27/28. Build with fresh eyes and legs and youngsters who are probably being better coached than their recent predecessors.

ben.schlomo

Not one England player is doing well, he could change at least 6 of them but then he should have at least changed 2 coming into it. Welbeck has been vomit bad, Baines has been ponderous and slow, Rooneys been very poor again, Johnsons wasting the ball and slowing things and Gerrard just isnt pushing them on from the middle.

Unsung Hero

Baines is playing well within himself.

And probably from 2 feet away.

Watching in a hotel in Poland, about 20 English lads and myself. The minute the goal went in they start giving Rooney abuse, it's amazing how the media plants a seed and so many people let it grow
