2014 FIFA World Cup

[Gazz]

I will never understand how a corner kick doesn't clear the first man.

[MDK]

What is football but ninety minutes of agony?

[Lineker]

Is Sterling the only one of our players on a yellow?

[Arjen Robben]

Does my head in when commentators like Townsend act like they know about players they've probably seen play about five times.

Was just talking about what Arevalo Rios "likes to do". Can't imagine he's spent much time watching him play for teams like Penarol or Botafogo or any other of the North/South American clubs he's spent 99% of his career playing for.

Also does my head in when people like Lawrenson and Townsend start sighing and tutting when stuff doesn't go England's way or a move breaks down. No mate, you made your choice and it wasn't England, do one.

Is Sterling the only one of our players on a yellow?

If ITV's graphic before the game is correct, yes.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Yeah the ref let things play very well the other night. Getting a Dutchman to referee England/Italy was a good call.

[GA!]

Back to classic edgy England, and our number 10 keeps falling over. Going to be a long night.

[Chris2K]

England seem totally flummoxed at the concept of a corner that isn't just hoofed into the area.

Yeah that was a corner, let's hope we don't get four years of "WE NEED TOUCHLINE TECHNOLOGY, ENGLAND WERE SCREWED" as a result.

And that should have been a second yellow.

[Lineker]

Not enough work rate Danny!

[Gorka]

Welbeck has restarted the run to the byline and crap touch tradition.

Not enough work rate Danny!

If anything he had too much work rate

[Lineker]

Ref bottled sending Godin off big time.

[Whisper]

Any other time that's a yellow...

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Well that should have been a second yellow.

[Baddar]

Could have gone then. Godin might not last too much longer.

[Liam]

Bad decision there - needed to be another yellow.

[GA!]

I don't get that either. It's as though the referee retroactively rescinded the lesser challenge earlier on.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Uruguay are filth.

[MDK]

Studge has looked good. I hope Rooney goes off for Llana or Barkley

[Chris2K]

How did he even get his head on that. That was truly unlucky.
