I fully believe Hodgson will set out with a cautious team, and bring on some legs post 60 minutes to go at the Italian defence.  Key questions will be how will he play against Pirlo, and which Balotelli will turn up (the latter could be said for Rooney too)?


What has impressed me more than anything else has been how little controversy there has been before this World Cup. No reports of squad disharmony or incriminating acts by one of the players; they all seem to be united and at least indications are they are wanting to play.  Really, no-one has given the media a bone to chew on.  Expectations are balanced by the fans, and I am genuinely excited to watch the game.  If we go out there and play well, even in defeat, I think no one can complain, and at least everyone involved in the English setup can carry that forward in their careers.  Players like Barkley and Sterling are the future of english football, a good experience in Brazil and no slamming by the media will set them up well.


I think I will head down to the British pub here in Santa Monica and watch the game around some ex-pats.  Ironically, my friend and neighbour (a German) will join me to watch the game; he's cheering on England.

Folk in California are OK about 'soccer' rules since there's so many immigrants here, especially Latin Americans/Hispanics.  Cricket, now that's a different matter.

Not much in it between Uruguay and Costa Rica with Uruguay marginlly the better team. It's ccertainly not a classic so far by any means, and on this performace nothing to scare any of the other teams in the tournament, but first games can be cagey.

It'd be nice to think that all the other group games will be packed with goals but I'm sure a bore draw or two lurks around the corner somewhere.

At least it will be mild!

Red card of Pereira is a big loss for Uruguay too, and I believe he will be missing for the England Vs Uruguay game.

Costa Rica have players that can finish.

I think this highlights the points I was making to Nickl earlier. To attempt to play for a draw tonight would be suicidal.
