Here is a man who would not take it anymore.
I put another £1 on Immobile to score first and Italy to win 2-1, luckily he came on after goals had been scored so I get money back as a single on correct score .. another tenner in my pocket to spend on bets today
Coming back late to this. Here are some things:
My local was great fun last night, everyone had been on the sauce all day and was absolutely leathered
ShiftyBagLady - no it's not rugby and I'm sorry if you find football less interesting than a load of fatties lying in a heap with a ball somewhere underneath them. Ireland aren't playing at all because they're shite. Hope this helps.
I support strung out
Not sure about all this club based viewing of the England team, especially by Liverpool fans
The Bristol Rovers player on the bench blates should have been playing and would have won us the game inside the first ten minutes
I enjoyed that, it was fun and we had a go. Good stuff.
This group could get very interesting indeed

Good performance apart from Baines at the end of the day. Barkley did ok as a sun but Lallana is a lightweight at this level and Wilshire looked poor. Sterling was excellent in the middle far better than a Rooney in physical decline.
What concerns me is Italy-Uruguay, can see a scenario if Uruguay have nothing to lose where they play to put Costa Rica through at our expense, many Italian surnames in that Uruguay team.

I watched it a few hours ago, couldn't be arsed to stay awake or get up at Burma bonkers o'clock. I found it 'not the same' but not too bad and I have sufficient metal energy to enjoy the day. I'll watch the next one in England, with me good old dad

Pirlo made more passes on his own than the entire England midfield last night, that and the Italian's coolness under pressure was the big difference. I was impressed by the youngsters playing for England but the gulf in class and fitness levels showed towards the end. The young lions were lying all over the place with cramp while the 35 year old Pirlo was still strutting his stuff.

it's interesting to compare him to ronaldo. ronaldo is 8 months older but looks about 8 years younger! both contemporaries, not a lot between them for a few seasons at united. now look at the difference. one of them looks after himself while the other seems to like the fags, booze and pies a bit too much.
I'm so disillusioned with the club these days, I've decided to join the holier-than-thou set and support my local non-league side next season.Oh right, you're living in the past.
Oh wait

Pirlo is class. But i dont think there was a gulf between england and italy. Italy play a possession game based on slow build ups looking for an opening, englands game is (now) based on quick pacy counterattacking becasue they have the players to do that - so Italy have a lot more possesion (most of it going through pirlo), but england had more chances on goal.
England are shit at possession football - when england have been good its based on pacy, direct attacking (something which sven and capello never seemed to realise).

If there was a separate trophy for the best losing team then I think we would really be in with a shout.

I thought England played a good game, better than most of us were expecting anyway. Lots of attempts on goal; it'd be nice if more of them had a chance of going in. Italy had a lot of shots on goal too but Hart and the defence actually had to put effort into saving them whereas most of England's simply missed. Still, all helps it be a more interesting game to watch. 
1986 - lost to Portugal, went through after a draw with Morocco and a win against Poland
What was the other?
Rooney and Gerrard poor and Baines even worse according to the Gazzetta. They rate Sterling and that's about it as far as England go. http://www.gazzetta.it/trsport/tempo-reale/Gara.shtml?match_config=731774&comp=4&day=4&anno=2013
