World Cup: Group D discussion

(not official)Hart - Johnson, Cahill, Jagielka, Baines - Gerrard, Henderson - Lallana, Sterling, Rooney - Sturridge

Looks ok.

Uruguay first side to play 4-4-2?

From Guardian

Penalty Uruguay.

Goalllllllllllllll. 1-0, Cavani.

Goal Cavani from the spot.

Nice play from Uruguay.

England XI: Hart, Johnson, Jagielka, Cahill, Baines, Gerrard, Henderson, Welbeck, Sterling, Rooney, Sturridge.

Welbeck over Lallana.

Italy starting 11:

Sirigu; Chiellini, Barzagli, Paletta, Darmian; De Rossi; Verratti, Pirlo, Marchisio; Candreva; Balotelli.

Forlan.

My prediction will be that England will focus on Pirlo, and in doing so Verrati and De Rossi will find plenty of space and dominate the midfield. Marchisio's bursts forward will also be left unchecked by our defensively-weak midfield.

I'm guessing Hodgson will want Welbeck and Rooney to tuck in and congest the midfield while relying on Sterling and Sturridge on the counter. At least, that's how it has to be, since Italy comfortably out-number us in midfield.

Whatte save from Navas!

HT: Uruguay 1-0 Costa Rica [Cavani]

How the hell does Welveck start?


And Cavani with that garbage miss right before the pen. They really need Suarez

somebody has to do something about uruguay.they just cant play more than 3 games here, they just can't.look at this garbage football they are playing.Chile,England and Italy are my second teams until KO rounds start

im so worried that italy might not play darmian in left and chellini retain his position.

if prandelli plays paletta against england... italy are screwed.

paletta is so slow... cant keep up with pace.. he is one of the most overhyped player in serie a this season. physical presence apart in my view this player has nothing to offer.

CAMPBELL! 1-1

Goallllllllllllll. 1-1, Joel Campbell.

JOELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
