I'm not a fan of the keep ball game 

they are!

We haven't been as good as against Italy but we have been alright...apart from Rooney.

I don't see us getting hammered but we could go down 2-1 or 3-1 if we are not careful.

nail=head 

I'm not impressed with Gerrard.

We shouldn't be a team of just one man Vid....

I think the point I am making is that if we don't have much possession we are limiting our chances of turning this around. We all know that chasing the game on this continent is difficult and we could well end up fatigued later on.

He has reached his tipping point as a player.

see, you have confirmed I know nowt 

But from what I've seen of the keep ball game, there's not many players can play with it. They keep getting it taken off them so pass it and make the opposition chase it is my theory?  

Let's not loose heart....a lot can happen in 45 mins

I'm certainly no Rooney fan but too much has been placed on his shoulders...

I'm all for keeping a couple of mature players but I honestly wonder why they dropped Ashley Cole.   And yes, I know he and Gerrard play in different positions but my money would have been on him rather than 'Stevie'.

Rooney continues to unimpress too - but I never expect from him, so anything extra is a bonus.

And finally, they've never had the fighting spirit since Tel's day.

That's what I said. Keep the faith 

I think he's on a downer since losing the Premiership?

Agreed, but that one man isn't even that good.

Nah, it's opinions - and they're like backsides 

He should be substituted at half time...lets try something new.

You're shaking your pom-poms on the touchline aren't you?  

He hasn't actually done anything of merit in an England shirt full stop Rog 

He probably would be if played in the position where he plays his best football...

I still know nothing about footie though 

Yes I agree and that is my idea of possession football. The reason we get caught in possession is that we are not cute enough to create enough options for the player on the ball and also we are not technically as adept as other nations. But the crucial point is we need the possession to create offensive opportunities. We can't rely on chasing the ball down or free kicks and corners. There may come a point in the game when it's sh*t or bust - at that point we will need to throw everything at the Uraguayians!!  Just not sure we have enough to make it count though.

Arseholes..... everyone's got one 

Oops! Forgot Sprout... and theres that 

He is playing in his preferred position tonight...in two world cups Rooney has done nothing.

I see what you mean 

If you think about it, he played a massive part in them not winning the title - maybe it's a hangover from that.

Jon Snow??

oh he can't sing 

I didn't see that restart there. Was there any subs please? 

this is pathetic...drama queens and he blows his whistle 

Yes, apparently Sturridge likes a chicken teriaki sub with all the trimmings according to the advert anyway.

Is that what they're called?

well done Joe Hart
