Well... I didn't expect that outcome, and a well deserved sending off in my book.
A very entertaining second half.

As I've said, Uruguay are a one-man team. And that man wasn't playing.

Wow, 1st half both teams looked distinctly average and the ref gave Uruguay a penalty, and it looked like staying that way, then Costa Rica blew them away. Uruguay look nothing without Suarez, assume the guy sent off will deffo miss the next game, which is more good news. The fact that he didn't throw Suarez on tonight when they needed him suggests he's not ready for action yet, will he be when we play them?

A pretty aggressive line up for England.

Superb take by Sturridge.
Will that affect the Italian psyche?

1st round, Group D: | 1-3 | |
Delighted by this result. The penalty decision was correct in my view. When will defenders learn? He had his arms right around the Uruguayan. Made it simple for the referee.

The penalty in the Uruguay game was correct, but when they did the same thing when defending corners later on and the ref didn't give Costa Rica a penalty, then it looks a bit odd. Great response by England after going behind, we need to get a grip at corners, Italians have praticised a few, and we need to stop them scoring again! Poor physio

Ian Darke had just mentioned the difference in goals scored between this World Cup so far and the same stage in 2010.
Maybe he frequents this thread!
