It was a weird shape, as you had Henderson playing in front of Gerrard so they just seemed like they were getting in each other's way. I understood Gerrards role I just thought he sat far too deep. Reminded me of Alan Smith tbh.

I think for Suarez' first, it's just a brilliant bit of movement and some great vision from Cavani. Most defenders miss that tbh. There were times throughout the game though where we lost all shape at the back. Gerrard sitting far too deep didn't help either. If you watch Henderson, he's covering the area in front of Gerrard when Gerrard should be moving with play. I watched it again last night because I felt I missed a lot with watching the bairn as well. It's astonishing the lack of shape. I'm absolutely devastated to be honest. 2 years preparation, what we saw just wasn't good enough.

We've essentially been knocked out of this tournament because of a goal kick and that's hard to accept. 2 years of preparations and qualifying and it comes down to a simple error like that.

Spain are playing so slow.

Cristiano Ronaldo out of the rest of the tournament?

I don't think Sammy is cut out for this league. He showed a bit of a threat due to the momentum of breaking into the first team and the opposition defenders not really knowing what he was about. He seems like a canny kid, I won't badmouth any Ameobi in a personal sense, I just think he's lacking pace and end product.

Capello is a dinosaur. It wasn't that long ago that Russia were entertaining to watch.

It's crackers, I'm genuinely surprised anyone is justifying what he did.

Just a signal would have done. But yeah, let's act the goat to someone who he knows can't respond or pose a threat.

It's a high pressure situation but Hart should act like a professional and remember that he's representing a country. Like I said, you can be fired up without shouting at bairns. It's unfortunate we don't have a better goalkeeper to represent the country.

Hart just seems like a massive twat. Got LAD stamped on his forehead. That being said, nothing worse than a little shithead ball boy. I'd read about the incident but that's the first I saw of the video and that just pissed me off no end. Hope he has his sponsorship deals terminated.

It'll be a little lad he's shouting and screaming at like that. They most likely won't be able to speak English, but what an ambassador of the English game Hart showed himself to be there. There's ways of showing passion that don't extend to bawling out a little kid who's most likely having an incredible experience. It's not as though he was going slow either.

Pardew still wants this guy back. It was a relief to see him in another teams colours. I'm not happy for him, I don't know him I just know he's been poor for such a long time in our colours. I'll not go as far to make personal attacks against him, but as a footballer he's shite.

Portugal will bounce back big time against USA tbh. And Germany? Well, maybe USA will show up at the last minute and claim victory.

That bloke definitely has daddy issues.

There will be clubs in competitive leagues after him. Qatar won't be his only option, so if he goes there I'll be very disappointed but not surprised.

Muller knows what he's doing. Pepe's temper will have been covered in the pre match preparations. That doesn't mean Pepe shouldn't like, oh I don't know, act like a professional. Stupid from him.

Ronaldo, man. Chiles said Messi, Dixon said neither. Unsure myself. Hitting it off with Christiano Ronaldo, and swimming in his wake, like the parasites we are? This isn't even a question. Exactly. If you hung round with Messi and people weren't aware of who he was, they'd think you were just mates with a short arse who used steroids from a young age. OHWAIT!

Ronaldo, man. Chiles said Messi, Dixon said neither. Unsure myself.

ITV coverage covering all the major talking points: "who would you rather be stuck in a lift with, Ronaldo or Messi?"

One of those players that you watch and think surely I could do that too, but then you realise when you're huffing and puffing and misplacing passes just how effortless it is for him.

You make it sound as though he spends the entire game in one area. He's constantly moving around, dropping into space. He's laid back but he does put the work in. I know, I just mean it never looks like he's pushing it. He just appears in exactly the right place like it ain't no thang. Ah, I read it wrong. He does have a ridiculous reading of the game. Look at how teams try and deal with him and he's still instrumental. I don't think we dealt with him badly yesterday, it's just so hard to snuff out any effect from him entirely.

One positive we had from Neville's commentary is that, coupled with the state of the pitch, we got to see what it was like to listen to his commentary AND watch paint dry.

Pardew would have taken Cole, Baines and Shaw because at least then 2 out of his 3 substitutions would be sorted.
