bull**** - we won't do Uruguay. We still need drive up front and communication at the back

on the positive side Harts hair was nice

[Nicosia Gooner]

the goal was terrible

Perhaps if Gerrard plays in the next match there is still a chance

Did you not watch them in their qualifiers?

They are distinctly average. I know England aren't much better, but I do have some faith in some of the young lads.

reminded me of John Terry's penalty in the Champions League final.

Sums that up.

The goals were bad to concede and the game just slipped away from them.

Willing to say another 4-2-3-1 got busted up tonight.

As the game wore on the attacking midfielders faded and Italy were comfortable not having the raw pace bearing down on them all the time.

[Nicosia Gooner]

I am not suggesting they are world champions but they are not ' distinctly average' as was suggested

[Supermac1976]

They were poor in the qualification & they do suffer from a serious lack of pace in key areas, especially without Suarez or if he's not 100% fit.

Got hammered by Bolivia, Colombia etc.

I'm not saying they're ****e, but that England will win if they play to their potential.
