Bosnia scores its first goal in a World Cup tournament, which is one more than Wayne Rooney in three World Cup tournaments.

I think we need a discussion regardingthe team / formation for the Uruguay game, here is what I am incline to -

.....................Hart......................

Johnson........Jagielka..........Cahill................Baines

.............Gerrard.......Henderson

Sterling..........Rooney...............Lallana

................Sturridge.......................

Roony cannot start wide left again so he either needs shifting to behind the front man as above or leaving out totally as below and drop Wilshire in -

.....................Hart......................

Johnson........Jagielka..........Cahill................Baines

.............Gerrard.......Wilshere

Sterling..........Barkley.............Lallana

................Sturridge.......................

How do you solve a problem like Rooney?

There's a growing suggestion Rooney will be dropped. Personally, I can't see Woy doing that. It's a bit like throwing sand in the face of the Queen Mother.

So, on the that basis, the front four would more likely be: Sterling Rooney Welbeck

                                                                                                  Sturridge

Personally, I'd also go for  Sterling, Rooney, Welbeck (better at tracking back than Lallana)

                                            Sturridge

Last chance saloon for Rooney. We can't afford to carry him for much longer.   

An alternative for Woy might be to dispense with Welbeck and slot Milner in there. He may have far less pace than Welbeck but he might provide better defensive cover for Baines, which is certainly needed as the Italy game showed.

Agreed, big decision for Woy on Rooney. As you say this cannot go on much longer. He is starting to drag back a young talented team. Maybe Scholes is right in that he peaked at around age 26.

If Rooney does start the next two games then they will go a long way to determining his England future, or lack of.

I would love to think that all this negative talk against him would fire him up, make him angry and go out there and prove us all wrong. But it has been going on too long and he shows no sign of it ,if anything it is the opposite.

We risk not progressing in the tournament at the expense of Woy appeasing Wooney's ego and letting a host of young talent down in the process.

Big moment for Woy and Rooney. If Woy gets this call wrong the knives could be out for him as well.

O and I have just found out at work that if England do make the knock out last 16 stage I won't see it as I will be in the middle of the Tasmanian wilderness in the SW of Tasmania  No t'interweb coverage / phone coverage for miiiiiillllleeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss out there! Joy.

Indeed. Because the Italians have already won a first round group game

I think Rooney has known for a while he needs to reinvent himself in footballing terms - as a No10. The trouble is that he's shunted around positionally far too much, so hasn't been able to establish himself in one position.

Perhaps because they're ranked 7th in the world under FIFA's ranking system, and have been top-10 for several years.

Saying that, FIFA's ranking system is daft.

Indeed it's best ignored. I suspect Woy doesn't want England to peak too soon as for example Holland probably have already. England should still qualify from the group if Woy has got this right and then come into their own in the quarters and semis.

The latest Private Eye cover is apposite.

Think Rooney would be best used as  a  "SUB"  .....  In the .... Pacific ....     

Is Roy mad?! Whilst I understand Suarez may not start, why on earth go out on a limb to state in a press conference, 'he's not world class until he does it on the biggest stage?!'

Luis Suarez does not need much to get fired up or motivated! Look at the 'dive' in front of Moyes as a perfect example of how he stores comments like this. I understand Roy might be playing mind-games, but I fear playing them with Suarez is almost like playing Russian Roulette with only one chamber empty rather than full.

As for Saturday night, I think Roy may have woken Sunday just thinking about his decision not to take Ashley Cole a tad. With no protection in front of him, Baines looked out of his depth. I think Cole would have coped better in that situ.

Yep, safe to Pearce had a real mare last night.

That's why I suggested one possibility might be Milner.

He wont be dropped, Roy Boy rates him very highly, but surely he cant play wide left again??

How I think Woy will set up against Uruguay

..................................Sturridge

Welbeck/Milner...............Rooney.................Sterling

.............................Gerrard.....Henderson

Baines.........Jagielka...............Cahill................Useless Plank.

Germany-Portugal next up.

A question of "who do I want to lose the most", then hoping the other side wins.

Like to see Portugal get the win today...Or draw....

So would I, if it weren't for that preening, cheating piece of sh*t

Haven't seen much of Marty Feldman yet.
