HT 1-0 Uruguay
Excellent buildup leads to a Costa Rica equalizer!!!
More and more likely we see Luis Suarez with this being a game Uruguay wants badly to get 3 points
Set piece from distance and Costa Rica heads it in!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2-1 Costa Rica!!!!!!!!
For sure. You need WINS in this Group. England, Italy, Uruguay, and Costa Rica. First two wins will win the group.Quote:

Tune in because Uruguay is about to go on the ATTACK
So.....to those of you wondering how there could be drama? That's how there can be drama.Quote:

Not able to watch, Suarez in? Wouldn't be surprised either way. Kinda think if he was healthy enough to play he would've started, but maybe they sat him thinking they will win easily and just get him free rest and now realize they need him
But all those timeouts provide action!!!! Have you not seen the commercials they have these days!!!!Quote:

Sirigu is off to a pretty good start.
England came out guns a blazin
England looks fantastic. This young talent has come out of nowhere.
Fascists take a 1-0 lead
Sturridge responds!!!! Pride of Liverpool!!!
1-1
And the Red Coats respond! 1-1 tie.
Watching this game and a curiosity came up in my household. How is it that "England" has a team instead of the "United Kingdom" or "Great Britain?" Would that mean that Scotland or Wales could have a team and if so, why? That'd be like having a U.S. team and Texas team in the World Cup.
Recent England squads would have folded like a broke tent after going down.
Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland have their own teams. Think more like Puerto Rico playing in the World Baseball Classic.Quote:

Well, that's advantage us.Quote:

I can't stand Italy. Not a huge England fan in general, but I am today.
Rooney HAS to put that in the net!
Yep, needed that.Quote:

Last twenty minutes for England was incredibly underwhelming. They have no expectations and they played like it. Didn't attack for the point. No sense of desperation
