World Cup and Charity Sweepstake, by johnnyh on Jun 14, 2014 21:57:04 GMT 1, That's thrown a spanner into the England Group Costa Rica certainly not whipping boys. Played well, worked hard, deserved result.
Was hoping they would be out by the time they played England but they will be playing for a place

As a Scotsman I don't like to see England win!  ha ha but think they will win this 1-0!
So put on Scorecasts for 1-0 with
Sterling
Gerard
Baines
Should be a good game!

He will probably be playing Tottenham. Chelsea or Man Utd next season so shouldn't worry

World Cup and Charity Sweepstake, by johnnyh on Jun 15, 2014 1:02:29 GMT 1, Headfall that was accurate but a tad harsh!!
I live in Guangzhou which is a couple of hours over the border from Hong Kong
Disappointing result but a decent performance I thought
Good value for a draw shame they did not get at least that def a penalty on Gerard but that Pirlo free kick was in if a bit lower
Hopefully we will get out of group

World Cup and Charity Sweepstake, by Ruggs on Jun 15, 2014 1:17:23 GMT 1, I'm one of England's biggest cynics, but i have to say that wasn't a bad performance at all. Sterling played really well. We just lacked better finishing. Defensively we're not great especially with set pieces. Balotelli had one chance and took it. Italy are always capable of just doing enough, something we often lack. Pirlo was class once again. Still optimistic, Uruguay is a must win.

Spot on Ruggs about the Italians but must say liked they layout and style of England. Thought that's a team that can get better and played to about as good as it is. So like you can't complain much

World Cup and Charity Sweepstake, by Hubble Bubble on Jun 15, 2014 9:26:18 GMT 1, Am I alone in thinking England never looked like winning this. A draw was the best we could have hoped for against an average Italian team. Bit problems in defence down the flanks. Rooney was crap other than delivering a ball into Sturridge for the goal. But he's undroppable, right?

But I don't think you will see that when he's played out of position... Think he played ok last night.. Only Sterling and Sturidge for me were Stand outs last last night... Barkley did well when he came on... With Costa Rica winning first game it's blown the group wide open! Still all to play for!

I am a Rooney fan ... when you see him in real life during a game you see his movement off the ball and what he creates for other people ...
is he worth ยฃ300k a week ... nope
did he track back well last night ... nope
is the world cup about taking your chances? did Rooney take his ... nope
would I start him in the next game ... yes
take him off after 60 mins of not playing well ... yes
