FIFA World Cup group stages

Possibly the worst corner of all time. From Rooney, surprise, surprise.

[SaintPowelly]

If anyone but the Italy GK gets MOM, I'll be stunned...which is a shame because I backed Joe Hart at 20/1

[Dilbert]

he also missed a couple of chances which, at his level of hype, he should have converted.
And that corner kick was dreadful. directly into the stands

[SaintPowelly]

Here comes Lallana, 78 mins later than he should of been on.

[st_brendy]

Yep, well done Roy. Take off Sturridge rather than Rooney.

It's not even like it's a like-for-like sub. Lambert would have been best suited for that.

[SaintPowelly]

Would of been better sending on Lambert though

Sturridge looked like he got hurt when he was fouled for the FK

[st_brendy]

Our only tactic at the moment is putting in (really bad) crosses. And that makes the decision to leave Lambert on the bench even more bizarre.

C'mon Rooney

[Gingerfinch]

Or Gerrard

[Red Devil]

Would of been better sending on Lambert though

[SaintPowelly]

Ironically, that FK would of been perfect for Lambert too.

[SaintPowelly]

I can't believe he wasted a sub on Wilshere

[Red Devil]

Italy have run down the clock pretty easily here - England unable to get anything going. 5 minutes of injury time was a surprise bonus but doesn't seem like it will make much difference.

Pirlo, at 35, is still fitter than all our players.
