Absolutely ridiculous that Mascherano is out there. So careless. Unfortunately it's the only thing worth talking about from that half.

Costa Rica took fantastic pens against Greece and Krul has never impressed me on them. Think they might do it.

Gerrard or Henderson off for either Wilshere or Barkley. Has to happen.

Can say a lot of things about Tiote, but certainly can't doubt his passion. Much appreciated in this day and age, especially at the club level.

Monaco are probably paying him decent money already. They sure are. No doubt, but isn't he the one linked with a few potential moves? He'll be on over well over £100k a week next season.

James Rodriguez is going to get paid.

I think that could happen. With a loss today, England would need Italy to win tomorrow to stay alive. They would then need Italy to also beat Uruguay and would need to beat Costa Rica by a certain amount of goals.

2 minutes added FIFA probably sent down an order that this atrocity needs to be stopped.

Shola has to be wondering why it's taken him so long to get to a World Cup if this is the standard. It must feel like a trip to Stevenage.

Rooney is an embarrassment.

England's been the better team this half (goal aside obviously).

I wish Newcastle played like this.

Think this might be better than 2010 already. Really looking forward to tomorrow.

This And Torres.

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere. For those that aren't aware, Wright Thompson is one of the best sports writers you'll find anywhere on the planet. Here he is on Suarez: http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/10984370/portrait-serial-winner-luis-suarez-soccer-most-beautiful-player

This may not even be the most depressing sentence in the minutes, which is some fucking achievement.

Times were better then. Somehow.

You are pretty much spot on. What is the point in supporting a club with no hope/ambition? I can't make my mind up whether I'll be wanting us to win our first game of the season or lose. That's what these penny pinching maggots have brought us to. This is the only thing I've thought about since the season ended. It was relatively easy to root against us for the greater good when there was no threat of relegation. With 0 points on the board it's an entirely different proposition.

I have no words.

Bet there are a lot less new joiners, but still disappointing. This number needs to sting for any sort of impact from the fans. Not even close at the moment.

That is absolutely f***ing outrageous! To be fair, these are the questions that led to that. It's cringeworthy that it's even a discussion topic, but it's not as bad in context.

I haven't read all the way through yet, but had to pause here... Really? Do they think this is 1927 and fans only see the matches at home? "We swear we played better away from home - go ask the few fans that saw it."

I'm going to find it really hard to care if he's still here.

Now I'm enjoying myself.

Shola desperate for a new contract.
