    if you are going to do well in the world cup you need a star player, a Suarez, Neymar or a Pirlo
    I'm guessing you forgot about Welbeck?

    Sad to say, but Gerrard is past it. Definitely shouldn't be in the team.

    A very over rated player in my opinion.

    Back in the day he was one of the best in the world, and he did a good job for liverpool this year. Not suited at all to this English team though.

    Gerrard, Wellbeck and Johnson shouldn't be in the England team.

    If Italy and Costa Rica draw tomorrow that'll do for England.
    It's worth Italy winning the group to avoid Brazil for a while.

    1D vs 2C and then ( 2A (Mexico/Croatia) vs. 1B(Holland / Chile))
    or
    2D vs 1C and then ( 1A (Brazil ) vs. 2B(Holland / Chile) )

    Group C is Columbia, Ivory Coast, Japan,Greece.


    Typically Italy take it handy the first match and then iz serius business

    Did I just hear Darragh Moloney say you'd have to fancy Greece to go through over Ivory Coast?

    Is he insane? IC are way better than Greece.

    Not quite. If Italy beat both Costa Rica and Uruguay and if England beat Costa Rica by the required number of goals then they can go through to (probably) meet Colombia.

    Disappointing. I fell asleep. The missus (she's Japanese) stayed up to observe the boredom. Much prefer the Japanese women's team.

    I'd like to see Italy win today, keeps things interesting. But I can't really decide who I'd want to see make it out the group, I'd like to them all go through to be honest. :confused:

    A point for England last night would have kept them in with a real chance, I can't see it happening for them now. There's too much that needs to go their way.

    They look like a genuinely good side. If they beat Italy here then I wouldn't be surprised to see them getting to the final.

    Everyone laughed when I backed Costa Rica to get out of their group at 8/1. Looking very good now!
