Credit to Suarez, two goals after being out injured and not fully fit. Absolutely world class player.

2 wins for Italy and a 2 goal win against Costa Rica and we're through. Piece of cake.

We played ok again, just four poor defensive goals and the inability to put a decent ball in the box.

Where does the ok bit fit in then ??

Haven't defended well, and haven't attacked well...all they did was run around a lot, which is the MINIMUM you expect.

I actually don't think we deserved to lose. Would have been a whole different game if the ref sent off Godin who is by far their best defender.

Rooney scored what more do you want.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.
