FFS Rooney.

C'mon Roy...get rooney off, just field the Scummers

[wingnut]

We're tiring rather rapidly. Can see us conceding again rather than scoring.

[AthleticoSpizz]

La la at 'kin last

Yep. lots of errors creeping in. Rooney's corner, Wilshire's pass behind Johnson, Johnson's cross.

This is petering out

French comment8ors saying the Italians look more tired

[TFF]

So what's the spray for if a kick's not retaken after encroachment?

[AthleticoSpizz]

Get Rooney off...we'd be better off with ten men

[John Madejski's Wallet]

What's with the endless string of sh't corners? Its like they've been watching reading. Go long ad infinitum. Would be nice for a corner to attack.

[AthleticoSpizz]

wahey 5 mins

[John Madejski's Wallet]

I like how everyone moves around so Rooney plays his preferred role. He's still sh't and its just made everyone else sh'tter

[Mr Angry]

With a few minutes to go, regardless of the final score, this has been a hugely encouraging England performance with far more positives than negatives, against a very good Italian side. Play like this against Uruguay and Costa Rica and we will go through.

Sterling, Welbeck and Sturridge have been superb, with Sterling's ball to Rooney in the build up to the goal probably the highlight.

One of the better England World Cup games!!

Sadly he'll start in the next game too. He's been as disappointing as ever bar the cross for the goal, which Stirling really made in the first place. Several moves he's fluffed now. Although he's far from the only one to have made a silly mistake.

Agree on the corners, need a flatter trajectory.

TBF there aren't many teams better at defending in numbers to protect a one goal lead than Italy I guess.

[sandman]

Is Immobile related to Inzaghi?

[LUX]

Pirlo always seems unremarkable .......until he plays England.

[AthleticoSpizz]

35 and still fronting the world stage...fair do's
