nice chance

awesome work from rooney

 

[DrRingDing]

We do not deserve to be in this competition.

We lost the last game due to lackluster efforts. Tonight we playing like a bunch of schoolboys.

Roy Hodgson looks like a weak leader......and Gerrard has been saying the wrong things in the media.

Great pass, great strike then.

bollocks

 

[DrRingDing]

How many touches do our strikers need before an attempt?

 

[scifisam]

Should one of the teams that didn't play well enough to qualify be in it instead of England, then?

 

[ska invita]

COME ON THEN ENGLANNDDD!

it's a shite comment. ignore it

 

[free spirit]

good bit of pressure now though

 

[friedaweed]

I knew he would

The tabloids are gonna love Luis again next season. I think he'll get the match ball under his shirt before the night's through

But for that last bit I'd think you were talking about Spain.

 

[Batboy]

We have been too cautious this half.

 

[ddraig]

cmmmmon Uruguay!!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Rooney's actually been a lot better than Saturday (not saying much, I know). Gerrard's not having his best game.

 

[Fez909]

aside from stirling, yep

 

[DrRingDing]

We have been too cautious this half.

Lacking confidence. Which the manager and captain should be instilling.

 

[ska invita]

Re the goal there were 3 defenders on the guy who put the cross in, all of them stood and waited to see what would happen - if its one on one fair enough, but at least one of them shouldve shut him down

 

[Sunray]

We still have a goal threat.

Just need to use the pace we have better. Not seen anyone hold a candle to our pace.

 

[Lea]

Are there many Uruguayans on this thread? There seem to be a few Uruguay supporters or have they just placed bets on Uruguay?

 

[ska invita]

is there any way we can get through on a draw?

I think it was 6 against 3, but Gerrard and Henderson plodded back and did nothing to win the ball off the guy who got it in midfield. Should never have made it out to Cavani.

 

[Fez909]

Lacking confidence. Which the manager and captain should be instilling.

I think it's the opposite.

We need to remove any confidence from the players, and therefore expectation and pressure.

It's no coincidence that we played better than we have for years when no one expected a thing against Italy.

Then suddenly our hopes are raised, the pressure builds and we're back to same ole England.

Just Irish and Welsh posters it appears

 

[twistedAM]

Half-time: Uruguay Full-time: Draw @14/1

Come on England

 

[Fez909]

is there any way we can get through on a draw?

yes, we can even lose and go through

 

[Lord Camomile]

is there any way we can get through on a draw?

Pretty sure there are, but they're a bit convoluted and not in our hands.

 

[N_igma]

Great header by Suarez! Early flight home for England it seems.

 

[Batboy]

I'm really pissed with Gerrard and his pre game pep talk about the pain of failure... Stupid twat....clueless about motivation...

 

[fakeplasticgirl]

cheerio england

 

[gabi]

Did you watch their match against costa rica? Uruguay were terrible.

And yes england have lots of pace in attack - stirling, sturridge, wellbeck - plus oxlade chamberlin and ross barkley. All quick and skillfull. Uruguay - other than Saurez - are lacking both.

Do you actually follow football? or have you just wandered onto this thread to parade your ignorance?

Oh, no. I do follow football you fuckwit. Suarez is killing England, as predicted.
