    I did not see that coming!!

    Spare a thought for those poor Spanish fans who decided to save their holidays by skipping the group stages and are flying out to Brazil next week

    Firstly it would go on goals scored but assuming all that was equal afaik they draw lots for the next round.

    Really looking forward to Engerland Uruguay tonight. Whoever loses is out:eek:

    Should be a belter, two top-heavy teams. I expect it to be a feisty affair.

    I think England will win based on Uruguay being pathetic in the first game.

    Suarez isn't 100% fit, they seem dodgy at the back and their midfield wasn't exactly solid either, the only reason I see England losing this is via a mistake or a sub par performance.....


    cue 8-0 win for Uruguay :pac:

    Dunno if Suarez will help any. Their problem was creating chances rather than the conversion of them. Hoping to see Rooney in the middle even if just the shut the pundits up.

    Uruguay always start tournaments poorly. I think I heard today they haven't won their opening game in the world cup since 1970.

    Suarez on form can create something from nothing is the thing - again though, if he's not 100% then they're in trouble

    True, I still think their team is somewhat overrated from the last WC - rightly so in a way based on how good they were in South Africa, but their midfield and defence just doesn't have what it takes this time round I think.

    That would hold some water if they generally did well in the World Cup but other than the last one they are usually knocked out early on.

    Not really going to plan is it!! Uruguay deserve to be winning although their defender should have gotten a red

    Its actually a game i thought could be brilliant, 2 teams that needed to win but its been cat.
    England to nick a draw, or the win if they can get an early goal.

    Well I got that wrong, thought England deserved more but they weren't as clinical as Uruguay who defended really well - they were very physical I thought.

    Delighted for Suarez, what a player

    Yeah agreed. I didn't think he could have improved Uruguay by so much. Gutted for England

    Disappointed for the US, they deserved to win last night. It's hard to understand how they can run so hard all evening and then switch off like that in the 95th minute.

    Super pass from Ronaldo though. It has been a very exciting group.

    He is some cream cracker.

    IMO thats his way of trying to force Liverpools hand into selling him.

    First get all shirty about the English press then bite someone, again.

    Absolutely. The fear he has of failing must be the most self eating, black ball, soul destroying thing imaginable.
