It's weird, I'm no England fan by any means (in fact, probably a ABE) but some aspects of their shiteness really annoy me.Always a pleasure to see England lose.

Yurt baby, Balotelli will beast this tournament for us.
Stay classy.
Found time to get your cock out her, eh? 😒
Positives all round, best England performance ive seen in many many years, honestly terrific effort. The trio of Sturridge, Sterling and Wellbeck was awesome, Roy fucked it up by trying to cater to Rooney who has no place in this team anymore.
Why did he not put Lambert on when he took Sturridge off? We had 9 corners and were crossing the ball in.

A weakened Italy played okay and won, a (nearly) full strength England played quite well and lost anyway. There's a gulf in class in every position aside from the wings and up front.

Already miles ahead in terms of quality compared to the vuvuzela clusterfuck.
I hate the hype around them more than anything, and seeing it deflated is just lovely.
Their shitness is annoying-ish. They have good players available, they just lack the manager over the last number of years to actually use them right and have the stones to drop certain people like Rooney.
Maybe, but that was one of the most positive England performances in a tournament i've seen in yonks

Hodgson's subs, Rooney, and Johnson were so bad. Baines fucked up, he's the worst of the four English LBs defensively tbh. Some positives to take though, the attitude from most was spot on.
On Italy, Prandelli really has Balotelli playing for the team. At AC Milan, he pops up all over the place, far too deep, trying to get involved in areas he really has no business being. Today though, he was told to play like a proper #9, keeping the two CBs occupied, hassling them physically, etc, and he looked like such a big threat.

This feels good. Really good 
????
Is that supposed to prove me wrong or something? Italy had slightly more possession whilst England had more shots and more shots on target, it was an even game, fair result was a draw.
In the first half, I thought they were OK (which does equal the best Ingerland performance since 1962 or whenever it was)

How can you not be allowed to criticse his workrate when he left Baines high and dry for 45 minutes, and only needs a week out to pile on the pounds. Sick of him.

All Englands shots were from outside the box. Hit and hope

Putting away chances is a sign of class.
I mean that England can probably afford to draw against Uruguay if Italy do the job against Costa Rica.
pls don't say that Costa Rica will beat England, I would cry

We're fun to watch now and have pace in attack. Huge, huge step forward, in getting the fans behind the team again at least. When you're crap and dull, it's soul-destroying
