[Fez909]

looking weak here imo

Weak!?

You're mad. This was a decent England performance IMO.

 

[tommers]

John Barnes did World in Motion though.

Caved a bit at the end but pretty good for most of it.

the italians spent most of their time in our half- solid defense yes but still

 

[binka]

enjoying watching this game which i haven't said about england for a long time.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Shut up Alan, let the grown ups talk

 

[mwgdrwg]

Rio Ferdinand makes Phil Neville sound amazing!

 

[friedaweed]

Is there a button to turn Phil Neville off. He's sending me to sleep

I'm the same. I've been booing England since about 2002 but I like this squad, they play quick attacking football at times.

 

[Lo Siento.]

Certainly more in it this than last time. Issue is once again not standing on Pirlo's toes, and Rooney not tracking back.

They could of spent a few quid on a packet of razors and some shaving foam

It's the all new Liverpool Ingurland Tommylad

 

[treefrog]

These young players have no fear or weight of expectation. Freshest team in many many years.

they look hungrier for it than I expected. Excellent second quarter that.

nah, they're good.

Apart from Gerrard obviously.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Me three. Sterling in particular is cheering me up. I'm liking England as a neutral.

How dare you. Rooney's "world class" y'know!

 

[goldenecitrone]

What a brilliant response to the Italy goal. Fantastic play by England. We know we can get goals. Can we stop them getting another though. Come on England!!!!

 

[Sunray]

Rio Ferdinand makes Phil Neville sound amazing!

This is the World Cup, Phil Neville makes it sound like a middle of a league one game at the end of the season.

At least Rio has some interesting stuff to talk about.

 

[treefrog]

This is the first time I've followed England in a competition. more fun than I thought it would be so far.

He's so boring he should change his name to Brasilia Ferdinand.

 

[Corax]

I was baffled when Chelsea chose to ditch Sturridge and I'm no less baffled now.

I also don't understand that disdain that Wellbeck gets. I think he's a skillful mofo. He's welcome to a first team place at WHL if he's tired of the bench at Old Trafford.

I'm only watching this shite so I get to drink cider and eat salted nuts on my own without feeling like a 100% loser.
The sport is uninspiring though. It aint rugby...

Just you wait for the inevitable loss on penalties to Germany.

[Kaka Tim]

Best two teams in the group.
Italy looking class - but england look very quick and dangerous on the counter.
And england providing more entertainment in 45 minutes than in the previous four tournaments combined.

Is Ireland playing anybody?
