Italy Have Taken The Lead...

Tears before bedtime?

[ChillDoubt]

Need a quick comeback again after that.
Rooney must come off IMHO, his effort and contribution have been minimal.

[Peter Pedant]

I dont recollect Churchill as a first class footballer

[berniecuddles]

like its been all year agree chill

oooooh dear :(

[jim360]

Took the lead again... mind, some promising signs for England for future games. But in a group where people were wondering if Uruguay and England might qualify, looks like it could end up being Costa Rica and Italy so far!

[venator]

You wouldn't recollect Churchill. You'd probably hope Simon Cowell to save the country

[ChillDoubt]

Changes afoot I feel.....

[ChillDoubt]

Welbeck goes but Rooney stays on?!
Hope Roy has got that one right!

[ChillDoubt]

Wilshere for Henderson, 18+ to go, need a bit of spark from someone.

[berniecuddles]

what has gerrard done tonight sod all get him off

[ChillDoubt]

Any belief they had has drained throughout the second half and with 8+ minutes left it looks all over bar the shouting.

[berniecuddles]

SSDD!!!

[ChillDoubt]

Thankfully, there has been one oustanding performance.

The ref has had a blinder!(though I thought Gerrard had a good shout midway through the second half when he was blocked off.)

[ChillDoubt]

Oh well. Early promise and a quick riposte to their goal proved fruitless.
The Uruguay game takes on even greater significance now!

Bleedin winkers....spec savers for them
