England

Sunday league and the World Cup in Brazil are exactly the same. Well spotted
Richy, I know that the comparisson is a bit silly but these are young guys who do not work for a living. They play football and are supposed to be fit. I do not expect England to win every game. Italy are/were top class players and a handful for anyone. I didn't hold out much hope. I expect better from them for the remaning group matches where we may have a better chance playing European structured football against the more flambouyant South American style. Time will tell though
 
I was surprised that none of the Italians seemed to suffer from cramp and yet we looked the stronger side in the last fifteen minutes. It was a disappointing result and even if we do get knocked out, if we play with that amount of conviction and pace I'll be quite happy
 
Roy seems to have won a few people over.
I'm not expecting any big changes for the next game,Welbeck played well as did sterling. The 2 players that didn't play well (Rooney & Gerrard) won't get dropped.
