Commentator just mentioned that five teams so far in the World Cup have now come back from losing positions to win games - sadly not the case for England last night.
 
I'm struggling to remember many draws or teams that didn't score without looking at the results.
makes a nice change from the usual 0-0 and 1-0 games we usually see.

It does seem to be a more attacking tournament, which is unlucky for England, as we are an ideal counter-attack team in tight games. Our defence won't cope with frequent attacks.

Can Uruguay play as badly again? Will Ratboy be fit? Will Rooney play?...

Uruguay are very ordinary imo. I could easily see them get another red card against our pacey youngsters. There's no way that Suarez can be fully fit, but that's not to rule out him scoring against our dodgy defence. Rooney should either start in the centre or not at all. I'd also play Shaw for the hopeless Baines.
 
Reload - we're almost ready for the off again - I completed all my weekend chores, cutting the lawn etc. this morning, so the afternoon is my time, plus my wife just left on a 3 day business trip, so no-one is around to hound me into doing things I really don't want to do!

Number 13 for Honduras sounds like our kind of player!

Costly, ha,ha, I see they have a couple of Chav's on the bench too! - the World Cup is great showcase for international players to gain exposure to clubs - I wonder if we'll scout a few and bring them to Loftus Road?

They say never buy a player based on one tournament, he could have done an agyemang plus his value will be inflated,
 
Really amusing watching all the play-acting going on with players clutching their heads & faces after no real contact.

Mention for Costly, the support striker for Honduras!
