How did their guy get away with that foul on Sturridge without a card?

Unbelievable.

I expected us to control this game with them playing more on the counter, but they are controlling the game for the most part.

Wanted us to go out with a bit of pride, but so far this is the England of old..

Major surgery at half time.

Passng poor, marking poor, lots of errors.

Unless we change things at half time Uruguay I think will end up strolling this.

Embarrassing, how many times can we kick the ball out of play


It's like we are a completely different team to Saturday. I just wonder how much that Italian loss took out of the players mentally. Suddenly lost the ability to pass.

You wouldn't believe it's the same personnel with a Minot tweak in formation would you! Looking very dire!

Are we really going to follow Spain out of the WC after only two games? :(

Would like to see the Ox on. Uruguayan players committing a lot of fouls. Keep taking them on and I can see a red card coming.

We don't seem to get much luck though at times do we. They should already DEFINITELY be down to 10 men. Can't believe their guy didn't get a second yellow card.

England remind me of the City in so many ways. Promise lots, fail to deliver on the big stage.

I think its more that Uruguay are pressing us a lot and forcing us into mistakes, Italy were happy to sit back and soak up the pressure last game.

Will improve as Uruguay tire but whether it will be enough I don't know

Adrian Chiles is watching a different game I think "England are playing rather well". Took a significant backward step since Saturday IMO - although Rooney seems to be play better.

I think expectations are much lower generally this tournament - & we aren't being disappointed either are we!?

Defence is our weakness. That's why we need more creativity up the final third of the field.

I know Uruaguay have played well but we are pretty piss poor let's face it.

Wasn't sure it was possible, but we have come out second half and proceeded to play worse.
