rarely see Cahill out of position like this




Don't think there was much he could have done without fouling. Cross was perfectly placed


Similar to the Costa Rica set piece, little you could do.

This looks like one of those games that could last for one week and England still couldn't score.

Lol didn't the Italians put on Thiam Motto in the Euro finals against Spain only for him to pull a hammy like a minute in?

Yes, if this was a small player instead of Gerrard it would've been a penalty. The ball wasn't even close.

England is a mess though except Rooney, Welbeck and Sturridge.

Henderson and Gerrard are being Casper.

You can't name one more player who is playing average so far.

Not true. If you look up 'average' in the dictionary there is a picture of Phil Jagielka

Candreva must be the player of the game.

He is superb!
