If this stays the same and Costa Rica win that will mean that Uruguay will HAVE to beat Italy to make it to the next stage.
Be interesting.
Proper chuffed for Costa Rica, well deserved.
At least we may have a slim chance to win a match now if Costa Rica play their second team
I don't want that though. If we win I want it to be on merit not because the other team is just going through the motions.
And I really hope Hodgson steers away from fielding the old handers for this game. Can't see any point in now doing that, but you can be bound sure that Hodgson won't drop captain Gerrard.
If I was Gerrard I would retire now and hand the armband over.
Tuesday needs to be fresh blood. If we lose we lose, it doesn't matter, it won't count for anything.

I said to Gerrard It was just like watching Liverpool when you set up Suarez. He said This really isn't the time for Jokes, James. I said Ok
What I would laugh about (but don't think will happen) is if Uruguay go out at the expense of Italy, after Suarez's self righteous sounding off against the English - for me the words sounded like those of a man who doesn't think he's going to have to face up to them any time soon. You think he could have toned it down a little, given his supposed relationship with Gerrard - I think he's looking towards Madrid ? Great player, little sh*t.
Yeah, an ideal time to try a few players out, field Shaw, shove Smalling in to replace Jagielka and, gawd at this point the squad is looking paper thin.. maybe Jones instead of Gerrard.. oh I give up... and resort to a silly twitter feed I saw
Sums it up
Suarez..... Great player, little shit !

Roy Hodgson will remain as England manager until 2016, says Football Association chairman Greg Dyke.
Fantastic...:facepalm:
Great or not he couldn't even run. The defending for both goals was pathetic.
I never really understood why Cole wasn't in the squad. He's a real professional on the pitch. It seems the full backs' attacking qualities areole important than the defensive ability.

I do agree with you there, England currently play with full backs who look good going forward, but get lost in space when the counter attack comes in.. Cole, often to be found clearing off the line after getting back IN POSITION AND IN TIME!
Are Shaw, Flanagan & Stones any good? They're the future, if there is one...
Baines is a fine defender...better than cole this season and deserved to be there as the best english left back in the country.
Hes just had 2 shit games... .but hes not alone.
