He was absolutely shite man You're talking shite. I'm not. What did Gerrard do to positively affect England's game? What did he do negatively to affect England's game? He was sat deep and attempted to distribute the ball, like he was asked. I'm not really sure what he did to be considered shite tbh. He isn't Pirlo, I think we established that 2 years ago.

I wouldn't drop him either, he was horrible today like but our problem was our inability to break Italy down. Lallana and Barkley were just as ineffective. Sterling had his moments as did Welbeck and Sturridge.

I don't think Gerrard was "piss poor" by any stretch of the imagination like.

Yep. The old guard of Gerrard etc. weren't good enough in their prime but they're doing a nurturing job and like you say 2016 onwards should be even better. If this squad is being thrown together for 2016/2018 in mind then Gerrard shouldn't be in the squad. You would run the risk of ruining the young uns without an experienced nucleus guiding them. It's why Lampard is there. And it's why Ashley Cole should've been there. In hindsight Ashley Cole probably should have started On a serious not that Candreva was quality, who the f*** is he? Candreva is actually a rather average player imo (at this level), but he got loads of space and Baines didn't look the part either. never heard of him before tbh.

I've championed for Rooney recently but he was fucking horrible today like He needs to wind his neck in.

Maybe I'm just used to utter shit football, but I honestly thought England played well today So did Italy, and once they decided to shut up shop our final ball was lacking, but I thought all in all it was a good display. Better than I expected anyway.

what? Realistically you will now have to beat both Uruguay (who also need the win to stay in the tournament) and Costa Rica (who will also be in with a chance of qualifying at that stage after today's win). Tall order. If Uruguay had won today I'd agree, but Costa Rica beating them by 2 means 4 points will probably do it imo.

Just cannot break Italy down when they go all Italy on you. That Canderwhatever fucking tormented Baines too, other than that I think we look to have more than enough about us to beat Uruguay and Costa Rica, it won't be easy but I still think we're strong favourites for 2nd.

what?

Fucking shut up man.

Nanis Ochoa. It's fucking bullshit. http://i.imgur.com/RuvIhlJ.jpg I mean, what do you say to that... Hello, my names Beren, my friend's call me Bez, I'm here to sweep you off your feet and into the back of a Mercedes Vito.

Gus looks pleased as punch

Like they gave that piss poor Japan problems last last week? Are Japan piss poor? Remember them giving Italy a hell of a game last year. I've no idea tbh Nothing stands in the way of a shit Hans post though, nothing at all.

You don't often just see keepers stand there at all, Andy. Stop lying.

Gerrard will rightfully be the first name on the teamsheet like.

3-0 against a team which have no interest in anything but spoiling in the first game without some key players is pretty good IMO. I sort of agree with him though. Columbia have some nice football over two thirds of the pitch, but they don't look so incisive when they reach the opposition penalty area. No man. Just look at the scoreline and ignore the actual football that took place. Colombia were f***ing ace man. Ignore the fact that the Greek keeper hardly had to make a save or that they didn't really know what to do once they got in good positions. It's sacrilege going against the grain on here Your original post is shit brutal
