Dave Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Why do they keep talking about hot and humid? It's in the 80s and 70 some odd percent humidity. Er... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Two pretty poor sides, imo. Not impressed by either team. Both will probably go through, but England will struggle. Thought England looked much better than I remember having seen them tbh. Italy is Italy, never impressed by them, but like some say, they do enough to beat you and that's what's needed.

S.S.R. Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Pirlo was absolutely majestic. So calm on the ball. The guy is pure class. England will still go through. Enough in tonight's showing to think a win again Uruguay and Costa Rica is possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Still think England will qualify, don't think we deserved to lose tonight. Im in this boat too. We look very bright going forward save the ginger elephant in the roon. Time to put him out to pasture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Best performance in defeat we have had in ages....bit more cutting edge from strikers, bit more desire to get on the end of things and who knows. Positives for me. After the disgrace of 4 years ago this is a million miles from that. Its all about the next Euros and 2018. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Think we'd have got a draw if Rooney wasn't quite so shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Deserved a draw, like. Like fuck did we. We had a good 10 minutes in the 2nd half, and had 3 decent attacks in the first half, 1 of which we scored from. Italy didn't have to do much because when Italy were in possession we did fuck all. In the 2nd half no one wanted to set anyone else up, all it was from us was our players running into a crowd of their players or our players shooting from distance instead of playing someone else in. Of course we deserved a draw man. Didn't you watch it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Game over. Shame for England. I fear that may be the end of this World Cup for yous. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicago_shearer Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 England looked like exactly what they are...talented, quick and inexperienced at this level. I didn't expect Italy to be that good and efficient that early on. Didn't deserve to lose, but probably won't be consistent enough to get maximum points from Uruguay and Costa Rica.

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.

The Prophet Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Entertaining game. Pirlo was absolutely magnificent. Think Italy are certain to qualify now, second place is anyone's game. England need to sort out that left hand side like Italy had a field day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
