Italy would look 10x better with De Sciglio on the left instead of chiellini. We have nothing to expose glen Johnson right now b

Most exciting match of the World Cup so far although I haven't seen every match.

Manaus - Awful condicions to play football.
Imagine in Qatar in 2022.

The players look really tired after 15 minutes, the pitch is awful too.

I have to say, having watched this, I've really underrated Welbeck. He's not exactly a prolific goalscorer but he does plenty for the team.

I think Welbeck is very overrated.

What does he do that good"?

can't be overrated if most think you're a joke tbh. He's an okay player , good work rate and puts in a shift. Lively , just lacks composure around the net. Good athlete too

I could understand why a lot of people not going for Spain found that exciting, but I wasn't that into it when Netherlands started scoring at will (I wasn't going for either team) and Spain just completely gave up.

Same here. He is just okay player with good work rate, run a lot and that's it.

I still have nightmares of David Seaman vs. Ronaldinho

Paul Robinson, David James, Robert Green. Football gods love a good laugh.

I think he contributes positively to link up play in the final third, acting as a facilitator for attacks. He's not spectacular, but you need those kind of players.

I don't think my heart or liver can take another half

If you think Welbeck is overrated, you might need to re-assess how you evaluate players

england should put rooney on the other side , let chiellni have the ball instead of darmian

Actually what Roy did, give Baines some help. Don't think Chiellini should give Johnson/Rooney that much of a problem
