Dive from Welbeck, hope the ref shows him a card when game stops.

You can't blame Baines for that, hes getting NO help.

I said before the tourny that Cole should be there, as we'll need our best defender.

He got destroyed by Atletico and hardly played all season so probably not a wise move.

Still a better defender than Baines, imo.

He wouldn't of played if he had of gone, and it wouldnt change the fact Rooney is doing nothing.

This is a poor poor Italy side.

None of the front 4 defending has helped them massively.

I see why Rooney can't score in the WC. terrible.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

He's the Alistair Cook of the England team, no matter how poor he is, hes undroppable because he was once touted as a talent, sad really.

Off to bed, I hope they can get something from this game, very enterprising up front weak behind though.

yep - poor Italy side but they've still generally looked comfortable tonight.

good point from the pundits on Wellbeck needing to take more chances by taking players on and driving forward rather than looking for the safe option - Rooney's not happy out on the left but, to be fair to him, it was a touch of cl;ass from him that laid the Sturridge goal on a plate.

Italy look a bit like they are planning on holding on for a 2-1, with 20 mins still to go that could cost them

It certainly was class from Rooney for the goal, the problem is, hes been a major problem for both of their goals. Firstly his flimsy attempt at sticking out a leg, and then not helping Baines.
