I wonder if the public press would have been so relatively forgiving of the England players if the result had gone the other way? That said, I still think that was something of a one-off result, we can beat Costa Rica and hopefully the Italians will as well, meaning we can get away with just the one point against Uruguay, who will have a point to prove with or without Basil Brush up front.

It was their lack of discipline that cost them in South Africa and it looks like it will again.
So one paced and never seemed to get up for it when they went behind.
Well done Costa Rica. Excellent goals. No gimma foe England but then it never was.
We need to beat Italy and go into the game against them in an upbeat confident manor
We can beat them and then play out the result to eliminate one of them with Costa Rica
England and Italy must be rubbing their hands now.
