Shame about the red, would of been better for England with him on the pitch.

Pretty poor from Campbell acting like he was shot, when it was straight on the shinpad.

Still would have hurt, powelly.

[Durhamfootman]

deserved sending off, imo

[Durhamfootman]

that didn't look likely at half time

I'd given the game up and gone out to do some watering in the garden. Fortunately I was able to rewind and catch up in time for the third

the chances of Suarez coming on from the bench on Thurs are looking quite remote now. Unless he's still carrying his injury, he'd have to be a cert to start now.... especially if Italy and Costa are topping the group

How does this result affect England? Is it a good one or a bad one?

Good for England, but will probably spoil tonights game, as a draw is useful for both sides

Good i guess. It was expected the top 2 would be between England, Italy and Uruguay so that could be one contender out although Costa Rica may take their spot as they look capable of qualifying.

Predictions?

Predictions?

for what?

Predictions?

for what?

Tonights result.

[Durhamfootman]

0-0

then 0-2 against Uruguay

leaving a win against Costa for a place in the second round

we'll go 1-0 up in that game, miss umpteen chances and then concede in injury time for a 1-1 draw and the plane home

[dan08]

England 2-1.

[SaintPowelly]

1-1

Rooney's scored 39 international goals, the whole Italian team have 48.

Rooney hasn't got a goal nor an assist in 8 World Cup games. Thats a more relevant stat
