Platy 6 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Hope Campbell gets a chance with Arsenal next season, he could provide a decent back-up to Giroud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sjsharp2010 228 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 got to say I think Costa Rica may well just have helped England take a place in the knockout phase assuming we don't screw up against Italy that is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AMSKRR 3 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'm glad that happened because now England wont get complacent. If CRC had lost 3-0 then we'd be over confident. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jiggy 5 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 This adds excitement. Costa Rica got the shock win and everything they get against Italy and England is a bonus. Meanwhile, Uruguay gets Suarez back and will probably go rampant, because they have to win and a desperate Uruguay is scary. A desperate Suarez even more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AMSKRR 3 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 You have to remember that Suarez has only has until Thursday to get to match fitness. Is that possible? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In a way so am I as I think it takes the pressure off us a little bit. We still can't afford to lose any of our games but at least now we know that if we don't then we're through because Uruguay have slipped up we just need to be sure we don't do the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Syn 2 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Reffing has me concerned so far...we REALLY need challenges or something. First yellow, totally legit. Second yellow card? NOT AT ALL. it was barely a foul, definitely not a yellow card. Completely changed the tone of the game.While Uruguay fell apart towards the end, especially with that third yellow and then the red card, I still feel a bit bad for them based on the reprecussions of that second yellow.

alonsofan46 0 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 That would've been an incredible goal from Balotelli. Shame it was saved off the line. :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jordieDAFC 0 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Italy are far better with a back 3 than a back 4. They look so vulnerable and desperate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Platy 6 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Rooney's so average yet he'll start every game even if it's detrimental to England. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Syn 2 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Rooney was an absolute joke tonight. I feel sorry for my England friends. Also...GO ITALIA!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gui1 0 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Why you guys are so harsh with Rooney? He gave an marvelous assist.And he's playing off position, he should be a ST instead of a CAM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Herby007 0 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Rooney can pass a ball extremely well. Should be a midfielder.That miss in the penalty box shows why he isn't a striker anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Platy 6 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 He was awful all game apart from that one cross. The worst player on the pitch by a long, long way. He's played there for Man Utd in the past and been successful, but tonight he was just awful.He has to be dropped for Lallana against Uruguay. Sturridge, Welbeck and Sterling provide too much threat for one of them to drop to make room for Rooney. Their pace can cause damage against that Uruguayan defence. Hopefully Hodgson realises this but I can see Rooney starting because of his name.Now if only there was a way we could get Gary Neville in to replace Johnson at right back.

AMSKRR 3 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Wow. England really deserved something from that. Disappointed with the result, but the performance was decent from most players. Johnson and Rooney should be dropped, I don't care if Jones has to play at RB, it is better than that total idiot Glenn "What am I doing at a World Cup" Johnson. And Wayne Rooney is awful. My nan could have put that away. He is on 300k a week and he can't finish from 10 yards into an empty bottom corner. Pathetic. Even Welbeck played better than him tonight. Harsh result, but atleast Uruguay lost too, if we play like that in the next two games it should be enough for a win. England didn't even play badly, but the finishing from Rooney was awful. If he isn't dropped next game there will be a riot outside the FA Headquarters, and I suspect I will not be the only one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AMSKRR 3 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Oh and England had a 91% pass completion rate, highest ever from 1966-2014.I'm really looking forward to Euro 2016 and WC 2018 if things go as planned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
