Its a game neither can afford to lose so I don't think there'll be many goals. Some in the media are saying a draw wouldn't be a bad result. Of course it would. Italy beat Costa Rica then I doubt they'll be wanting do us any favours. It's a must win.

Personally I would go with Jones and Milner - it's never going to happen mind.
Thank fuck. Insane idea.
At least the defense would be sured up. May as well put 2 straw dummies in if they are gonna play like they did last time. Although id say possibly Lamps and Milner wouldve been worth a look in the friendlies

Grapey, please tell me you didn't watch it all?!!! Ha! I did actually, Jim. I ate my lunch listening to his dulcet Mancunian drone. He's a much better listen than his brother. And Gabby's a good interviewer.

Costa Rica could be where we slip up.

Jones DM, has to be. We need some steel in the midfield, he's about the only one who can add least try and do it.

If Rooney is on he has to be central. Rooney gets an insane amount of attention.

If Rooney is on he has to be central. Rooney gets an insane amount of attention. Yup, but put him in the centre then they have to decide to either mark Rooney, Sturridge, or Sterling. Dont think theyd be too bothered with him if hes down the left again. Then we can throw on Lallana and Barkley (assuming Welbeck starts). If we play well we could absolually knacker their defenders out. Just hoping Suarez forgets what team hes playing for and lays a few on for sturridge

There's a very likley scenario where we beat Uruguay, draw with Costa Rica and go out on goal difference. If I was a betting man that's where my money would be.

If I was a betting man that's where my money would be. for that to happen... we have to beat Uruguay by only one goal, AND Italy have to beat Costa Rica by only one goal, AND we have to draw with costa rica. That's three correct results, with two having a limited set of possible scores. If you think that's "very likely" you can have a much odds on money as you like with me.

I'm not a betting man (no surprise there) so hadn't factored in the mathematical formulae!!!! What I'm trying to say is I wouldn't be at all surprised to see this happen. The outcomes you describe aren't exactly beyond the realms of possibility are they?

If Rooney is on he has to be central. Rooney gets an insane amount of attention. And that's the way Roy likes it... If England lose Rooney becomes the Sacrificial Lamb..universally loathed and despised...all his fault..nothing to do with Hodgson If England win and Rooney has a good game..Well done Roy for picking him. Either way he plays and either way Roy wins. If people think Graham Taylor and David Beckham got abuse after Englands failure at world cups just wait and see what happens to Rooney if we lose. If he has any sense he will put his heart and soul into tonights performance.

I would go Hart Johnson Cahill Jags Baines Barkley Gerrard Sterling Lallana Ox (if fit) Sturridge What a waste that would be having Barkley as a sitting midfielder.

Come on England.
A draw should be enough, but let's get 3 points as it looks better.
We need some sort of result today and then victory against Costa Rica is essential.

It's not good play from Sterling Andy, it's a dive and it was embarrassing.
