"so......mathematically what are our chances of going through now? Italy have to beat Costa Rica and Uruguay and we go through So come on Italy Now I am seriously confused. How do we lose two games and go through to anything?" Because the other teams except Italy would also loose two games that means goal difference would decide our fate | |||

"the one saving grace england is that a win by italy tomorrow doesn't quite win them the group or guarentee them the 2nd round... although the more they beat costa rica by tomorrow, the more players they could rest for the uruguay game without fear of goal difference coming into play....... I always liked pirlo and super mario!!! " Yeah but if they draw we're out....! | |||

"england had six liverpool players and none of them predicted or seemed to know how suarez would play and how he playes !" Knowing how he plays is one thing stopping him is another. Even at 60% he was miles ahead of our defence. | |||

All the bullshit on here about 'positives' after the Italy game, results get you through. Nothing more, nothing less. And as ever England failed to come even close to troubling the later stages of a tournament. | |||

"Can someone tell me why the England players get payed so much after such a performance. One interesting fact mentioned during the match was Uruguay has a population equal to 1/3 that of London. They can find a decent team why can't we." The players don't get paid for playing for the National team. Most countries have less people to pick from Holland's population is a 1/3 of the size of England we are just shite. | |||

"One guy , who incidentally is also the captain of both teams in the aforesaid games , was shite throughout . His slip cost Liverpool the title , and his header into the path of Suarez cost England tonight . My football expertise , as you so succinctly put it , doesn't need to be that good to recognise a player who has past his best before date " Does your football expertise also tell you that our 2 centre backs where at fault for both goals....Jagielka letting Suarez run off him, and the second goal? why did Jageilka run towards Gerrard when clearly Gerrard was going for the header, he should have stayed back but he never....Gerrard has been Englands stand out player for last few years | |||

His slip cost Liverpool the title , and his header into the path of Suarez cost England tonight . My football expertise , as you so succinctly put it , doesn't need to be that good to recognise a player who has past his best before date " Excepting that you overlook several things. First, Uruguay's 2nd goal was scored through the brilliance of Suarez and the inability of Cahill and Jags to cover the back as centre halves should have been doing in that situation. To blame Gerrard for a ball glancing of his head 50 plus yards from goal and when he wasn't the last man in defence is rediculous in the extreme. Secondly to lay LFC's loss of the title on one slip in a tight game is equally rediculous and has been done to death at the end of the season. Liverpool lost the title because when compared to Man City, City had a better overall defence throughout the season which has been established over several years and with many millions of pounds, Liverpool were at season one of there attempt to regain the title with considerably less resources to call upon. As for Gerrard being past his best, debateable at the very least, personally I hope he retires from international football and concentrates his effort at LFC where no doubt he will continue to be a success. With 13 goals and 13 assists last season Gerrard did more then most to help LFC achieve a very notable 2nd place. | |||

Because there are far far too many overseas players here am not saying some do not bring quality but if we are serious about having a decent national team then this has to be drastically reduced as no doubt talent is there but its stifled by lack of opportunity as clubs go for foreigners as quick fix instead of develooing english players.

WTF who is coaching our team for fooks sake get the strikers to do some hardcore shooting practice (god knows they need it), and teach the defenders how to close down opposition players quicker! More shooting practice, and no cones!! Where have you been since 1966?....such radical coaching analysis..such left field thinking...obviously Greg Duke needs to head hunt you from your present employment...your remedies are so elegant yet so simple..genius!" When all else fails go back to basics. Our players look like they could'nt hit a barn door from 10 paces away? Look at how Chile played against Spain the other night, with passion and fire in their bellies, closing down Spannish players quick and not giving them any time on the ball. Our players are the complete opposite, no passion, no fire in the belly and stroll around like its a kick about in the local park on a sunday afternoon. At least go out fighting like the aussies did, the fans would'nt complain then but that was piss poor last night from England. | |||

"Looking slim chance for England, lost 2 of there games. So much for commentators/pundits predicting how far England would get, eating there words now. It's the pundits etc that piss me off most, they do this EVERY world cup. Nothing against the players/team, but I hope England get knocked out, just to hear what crap excuse commentators will come up with." Most pundits I heard were playing our chances down. This is the first tournament I can remember where expectations were low - quarter finals at best, not getting out of the group at worst. And all this talk of 'passion' makes me laugh - don't people think the players wanted to do well ? Encouraging performance against Italy, back to normal against Uruguay, plane home on Tuesday unless results go our way. Same old same old. | |||

"They couldn't even sing the national anthem proudly, shower of cunts to be fair they all sang the anthem tonight...!! Proudly???? I very much doubt it Hart was the only one sang it with pride, your chest should be ready to explode when you sing the national anthem with pride I agree wholeheartedly! You can tell a lot by how the team sings their country's anthem. Great point and it's given me an idea...we get Gareth Malone to take a pub football team..any will do...coach them to sing the national anthem with pride and passion in time for the Euros qualifiers..job done! I didn't say proudly I just said they ALL sang ~ anyway lets not start the pros / cons of the singing the national anthem again lol Was referring to the first post attached to your post.. Oh let's keep going on the anthem argument..it stops us confronting the real reasons for our continuing failure..lol Oh i know you were I was referring to the post attached to mine too. I blame @ dirtylurkers hamster ~ predicting a 2-2 draw...!!" She's colour blind apparently - Sorry everybody I didnt know this before. She doesnt like her tread wheel much, but then I did oil it to stop it squeaking (the wheel) | |||

"Tried to start a new thread anyway just curious before the tabloids start should Hodgson stay or go ?" When Capello left, the fans favourite for the England manager job was Harry Redknapp. Fans were crying out for Harry Redknapp but the FA chose to ignore the fans again and appointed Roy Hodgson? The FA know sweet FA it seems, they did it in the past when everyone wanted Brian Clough but again the FA ignored the fans wishes in 1977 when they appointed Ron Greenwood and when that was a failure they interviewed Clough again in 1982 but gave the job to Bobby Robson instead. I was one of those fans who would liked to have seen Harry Redknapp get the England manager job, but the FA seem more interested in public image rather than who is the best man for the job. | |||

"Always thought Gerrard was a cunt , and after the way he set up Suarez for the winner , it has to be official ! He has now single handedly lost Liverpool the title and got England off to the worst start ever in the World Cup .... " Im not going to copy and paste every bitter post but do us a favour. The most loyal english player ever? It was a simple mistake, his passing was poor, but he couldnt of tried any harder. | |||

"Gerrard. A one club man, still playing for England (altough he will call it a day soon). he gets paid well by Liverpool but stuck with them when he had bigger offers. Theres a lot to be said for it" So loyal to Liverpool then. Although he had agreed a move to Chelsea in 2005/6 until his family got threatened by scouse gangsters. That's not hearsay btw, I know it to be true. I don't question his passion playing for England at all. | |||

Loyal to both England and Liverpool I think, a role model if you like. Im outside of the bubble so to speak being Welsh, yes I will support England and any of the home nations if they aint playing us but Im slightly suprised with all the negativity. I grew up nr you watching 'us' as it was being done on penalties, dodgy handballs, wonder goals, it will hurt. The players will hurt too, spare a thought for the fans that travelled. | |||

Could'nt give two fucks if Redknapp was involved in a court case, let cheeky chappy, dodgy wheeler dealer Redknapp have the job. | |||

"Gerrard is a good chap and he was a great player but he is too old now and he is unfortunately a liability. England have been a bit unlucky in several ways but this is one competition they were never going to win. Maybe next time. " Luck has nothing to do with it people say Gerrard is to old. Pirlo is older but I do agree winning it was never on the cards. | |||

"As I mentioned much higher, being outside of the English bubble I though the ref could of sent one of The Uruguayians off and awarded England a penalty.
