World Cup Games (Sat, 14 June 2014)

Remember when people said Wayne Rooney was world class?

Remember when there were Rooney vs. Suarez debates in Redcafe?

Not having Ashley Cole on the left looks like a massive mistake.

[Kenneth]

The obsession with Rooney has cost England very badly for the previous two tournaments. Surely it can't be allowed to compromise a third.

Giles - Italians knew exactly what they were doing. About 4 or 5 English players going down with cramp, rubbish mistakes etc all from having to chase. You didn't see Pirlo goingdown with cramp....or any of them for that matter.

I love RTE

Baines was ****e for the second goal

[RedAndWhite]

The Italians played the conditions much better than England - and that ultimately was the difference.

Nail on head.

[Venton]

I think this England squad is quite talented.

For the premiership. Tactically they are ****e. We've been here before with a talented group of players, and failed every single time, usually to teams who are individually much less talented.

I still think the premiership style of football is much more exciting but tactically not that great.

[Chris]

Thought Hendo was quietly boss, didnt get that substitution at all and England did nothing after that.

"Rooney gives everything he has". You sure about that Alan? Sterling was still tracking back in stoppage time. Rooney wasnt even bothering after 10 minutes.

[James P]

This thread is amusing me.

You smoking again Dom? Unless you find a group of grownups arguing about 22 men kicking a bag of wind around a field inherently amusing, which I can't imagine is the case.

He will though but he's nothing more than a fat overrated pastey ****. I wouldn't pay him £300 a week.

Well I'm happy that our lovely Liverpool players look to be coming home early.

[ChesterDave]

ITV Highlights will be ace - Cannavaro out-smugging Chiles.

[Bloodraven]

Rio can't take criticism of United playera

[Leyton388]

Snaggle lip can **** off as well. He'll be out scoring his hit after he's finished MOTD.
