World Cup 2014

wait, 920 minutes

England seem wrecked

tbf Italy too but I can see them stealing an extra winner here now

Scouts from Harrogate Town watching Rooney tonight.

lol I thought you were kidding about the green paint thing

Match totally petering out, sadly.

xxp think they'll pass

It's a miracle they're still all running like this in this extreme wet heat, apparently. No wonder cramp is starting early.

C'mon, they're just not fit.

England wasting heaps of energy running around but getting very little out of it. Italy are just like: we cool.

FFS ROONEY

tsch, it's not even hot enough for water breaks

Rooney you shithead

Gerrard and Henderson were never going to be enough to keep Pirlo and Marchisio quiet for a whole game but this has stopped been strangely encouraging.

You can see the desperation seeping in now, endless long range shots and over hopeful crosses, reverting to type.

Rooney getting his own way re: position has been a tactical negative

5 minutes added is pretty sadistic

EVERY Pirlo pass is beautiful

this has become syrup

I'll repeat, even if we lose this has been the least disappointing competitive England performance against a decent team for more than a decade. Even if we lose tonight if back both teams to get through the group after the game earlier

Looking forward to seeing how Suarez will endear himself further to the English public in what will basically be a knockout game v Uruguay

how many times has g neville has said plenty of time on the clock.

the mantra of sportscasters everywhere

LOL @ LBI

Windsor's first sentence probably correct, second sentence i'll assume is the Taurasi talking

Japan will be awse

tactically naive the english. surprisingly positive, which was nice, didn't seem like the end of the world after either italy goal. so sloppy when they got tired. fullbacks were bad in the 2nd half.

"notin"

They're showing the near penalties on Belgian TV: all three of them look like they're not penalties on 3 of the 4 camera angles, but on 1 of the four they clearly are.

barkley rly chafing at being the junior tonight, incident with twp said it all

he will run this team soon

lets go japan lets go clap clap

Gerrard thought they handled the left wing better second half, he shd have a look on the replay at the winning goal maybe

Yay Japan come on

lol that was funny xp

maybe drop Rooney for the next match it's a pretty important one

oh fucking hell there's another game

Shearer talking earlier on about how Gerrard could be England's Pirlo was prime 'do these fucks never learn' shit.

If England play like that they will probably get at least four points out of Uruguay and Costa Rica though. Short of introducing Wilshere in the starting XI there's not much they can do about that back six but the structure of that front four is a problem that won't go away.

so yeah that Rooney cross is great ammunition if Woy were to cut him off for Uruguay.

he'll never do it but we can only dream.

I've enough beer left for the next game. G'wan the World Cup

Better than anything they served up in South Africa or Poland. Still never going to be capable of anything other than an anarchic play. Will never steadily control a match. Whither Ashley Cole? Whole left side was a complete disaster.

Even if England go through they'll bomb out the next time they play another team who can play in midfield.

That quite good documentary about probability is on BBC Four now, btw, bridges nicely to the CIV-JPN kick-off.

if England cede that much possession to Uruguay and Costa Rica they could just as easy get nul point

how many times has g neville has said plenty of time on the clock.

Probably not as many as his brother?

SHINJI FREED IN ONE HOUR!!

So nervous. Family all in Japan jerseys.
