Frankly, I think this irresolute Greek team, with it’s lack of tempo, precision and imagination, will have to book tickets home quite soon. And nobody will miss them.

Seems like that indeed, unless big changes are made

TICOS! TICOS! Shocker!

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Should have bet on Costa Rica again!

Uruguay in shock

Help me I'm falling!

and adios to Pereira ignomy of the first RED card and won't be playing England

Help me I'm falling!

I think the next game might be 0-0! Hope I'm wrong though

6 games up to now.

Not a single 0 x 0.

22 goals, meaning 3,7 goals per game.

Not a boring game up to now.

Very trye Guigo, it has been quite interesting so far!

Fair play, England are doing well

Traditionally, when Italy scores a goal, the rest of the match will be a yawn. I hope that I’m wrong.

Just imagining the celebration there at Costa Rica, the happiest country in the world!!!

England were average, lack of invention from England

Maybe so, but that's the best I've seen England play in about 5 years and the most invention they've displayed for at least 10. They were worthy of at least a point. Sterling, Barclay and Lallana point to a brighter future (and I think they're capable of beating both Costa Rica and Uruguay who should have average tattooed on their forearms Wink

)
Not sure why Hodgson brought on Jack Wilshere though, as he hasn't featured for Arsenal this season due to constant injuries and he was invisible here. Rooney was routinely ineffectual but his delivery for the equalizer was top drawer. Most of the danger from the Italians came via England's left flank and on the evidence of this game, I think Hodgson needs to provide more defensive cover in front of Leighton Baines. (Candreva and Darmian combined to provide an overload threat on that side throughout)
England have the ammunition to trouble teams who play a high defensive line (unlike Italy)
It's been a brilliant World Cup so far as every side is actually trying to win the games rather than just eke out sterile draws. Thumbs Up
