Well played Italy - overall they probably deserved the win, but the England performance was a million miles better than the game against Italy 2-years ago.
I disagree. 2 - 2 would have been the fair result. Definitely the best match so far. Two great teams [8D]
And Pirlo is just err... amazing. In Barkley you have a world-class player. Mark my words.
I disagree, while 2-2 would not have been an unfair result - I don't see how you can say an Italian victory was unfair.

For those watching BBC, just how BAD is Phil Neville? [>:][>:][>:][>:][>:][>:][>:][>:]

It was a good performance from England for the most part. Wayne Rooney is not included in that IMO and the wait for him to have a good game continues. He's not as good as he thinks truth be told, as an actual striker he's good but he falls far short of the ability of the two players he seems desperate to emulate. It's a shame really, he was built up early in his career as the greatest English player of his generation (or ever?) instead of people being happy he's a good striker.
It's not a terrible result, after all Italy tend to do better against the (so called) big teams and it's one in the eye for everyone who complained that Roy Hodgson would create dull teams with no attacking drive.
P.S. Phil Neville was boring, but better than Andy Townsend. Or Mark Lawrenson.

Andy Townsend ..... ITV presentation just sucks and always has. And as for that "Brazil" music that accompanies the program [8|]. Mark Lawrenson just gets worse with each year [:(]
oops, we did it again...I'm sorry...maybe next time.ORIGINAL: terje439
100% professional actors? [:D]
Come within 3 inches of an Italian player, he falls down in what appears to be agony, rolls 4 times around the field, only to jump up either to cheer or yell at the ref, after the ref has given a free kick one way or another.
England wins 2-0 (Gerrard and Rooney)

Seems Germany is doing a great job as the grim reaper in this so called "group of death"
I doubt that they will qualify. Portugal will bounce back.ORIGINAL: warspite1
Ghana and the USA must be loving this.... If they don't cancel each other out, maybe a chance of qualification for one?
I have not heard that FIFA was involved in this. I thought it was respective country that decided their own kits.ORIGINAL: warspite1
What the hell have FIFA done?!?!?
I still can't work out what exactly was the directive but, whatever it was, it was cobblers [:@]
Portugal - all red, and different shades of red at that. Germany and England all white, with the former sporting a hideous red chevron, at least France kept their red socks..... one word.... NO!!!!!
Angry from London [:@]
