Sod The Italy v Uruguay game, the only issue worth taking note of is the fact England need to pick up 3 points.
For that reason, we're out!
Yep. That too.

Gerrard's fault - if he hadn't have touched the ball (flicked it on for Suarez) he wouldn't have been through on goal.
If a Uruguay player had flicked it on for Suarez, he would have been offside.
Before the WC I would have had Gerrard as one of the first names on the teamsheet but he's had a dire couple of games so far and really needs to hang his international boots up imo.
Rio Ferdinand said:In that situation, I am either dropping off and making sure there are no opposition players between me and the goalkeeper, or I am going to attack the ball and win it.
Danny Mills said:I wouldn't be surprised if Steven Gerrard calls it a day after this World Cup, but I can't blame him for Uruguay's second goal.
Yes, maybe he could have done better with the header, but anyone who plays at that level will know that your two centre-backs should always be expecting you to miss the ball anyway.
Clarence Seedorf said:As experienced players, I could not believe what they were doing. They have to expect that the ball would be flicked on, Also, with Suarez on the pitch, they knew they had to be alert for the whole match.
