A very spirited performance by England but they lacked authority.Italy played exactly as they always do and are very difficult to break down when they go a goal up.
I don't rate Balotelli as I've seen him have some shockers when he played for Man city so Italy can't rely on him alone but they are playing the sort of football that will see them go close.
Rooney just needs a bit of luck(he's never scored in a world cup) and if Sterlo and Sturridge can keep injury free then England should at least progress.
What about that Costa Rica/Uruguay game tho?This group is well and truly sizzzling from now on.

Italy played their classic tactical game. Pirlo is still a master. Excellent passing. Like the AC Milan of old.
England good attacking game but unlucky. Sterling a gem, reminds me of a young Maradona. Rooney is either having a very bad patch or he's past it.

But I'm biased, have always liked to watch Italian football.
Can't wait to see Argentina tomorrow.

A lot of people might say Argentina didn't live up to their reputation, but imo The Bosnians just didn't let them play their game. Never seen them before but they're a good side.
Just goes to show what they say is true - there are no easy games and no bad teams in the WC finals.

What a game Germany played even though Portugal was disappointing. They can never be ruled out as potential finalists. How did they ever lose the war? . . .oh, they had Hitler for a manager.
Funny how these Mullers keep coming up as strikers. First Gert, then Dieter, now Thomas.

People keep talking to me about all the scandals & corruption in Brazil. OK already, just let me watch the football!

whislt I don't expect Australia to win (sure I hope they do, but at heart I'm a realist) I think they'll surprise a few people. They won't be the walk over you seem to think they'll be.

Looks like the referees have been given the word to help them get there though. It's all money to FIFA. Australia v Holland: One of the best Aussie performances I can remember. Unlucky.
