Rooney's corner, what happened? So easy to blame the pitch
Wellbeck's crap.

Welbeck did quite alot in the first half - was closing down like crazy.

Was it really? We played an Italy side with not much up top and been struggling of late in friendlies, yet they scored when they needed to, then sat back and did what they do best. Getting into the final third and almost creating chances doesnt quite paper over the cracks for me. Italy won 2006 after many games of just getting behind the ball after taking the lead, so I guess they deserve credit there.
But no expectations I guess, so can't be too disappointed. (Other than the fact we worship these players week in week out in the best league in the world).

Agree with this, plenty to be positive about. Lallana showed some nice touches when he came on and throw ox in the mix we'll get through. Shame Glenn Johnson is so shit.
he played well, did exactly what he was supposed to.
even though we lost that was easily the best england WC performance in a long time.

All this talk bout attacking players when we let ourselves down defensively, little to no screening from the midfield and the back 4 and goalkeeper all at sea. Missing the Chelsea racist big time, not taking Cole could be a mistake, but no fixing the right back position as there isn't a good one in the whole country.
that's sturridges game. one on one he beats defenders on the regular. he's very explosive. tough result england played well. just didnt take the chances. rooney missed a crucial chance late on. didnt do enough on pirlo also. he really is a joy to watch though!
disappointed with wilsheres performance too.

yeah true dat. i love it when players who should arguably have retired but still can dictate games still play.

Think that was England's best performance in a tournament since Portugal in Euro 2004. Indicative I know of how poor England have been in tournament football since 96/98, but still, good to see them pass the ball and create.
