I'm still upset that Sweden didn't qualify.

Not perfect, but here is my WC setup at work. Really looking forward to Spain v Netherlands rematch.

The England team visited an orphanage in Rio today:

I am incredulous watching Spain get eviscerated here…

Ha loved it

I can't stand him, but robben's first touch and subsequent touch for his first goal were pure class. His pace and moves in the box for the second fell into the same category.

[louisbosco]

robben totally mocked casillas during that game.

England shitting the bed again. Very frustrating.

[501IH]

Frustrating for sure, but shitting the bed? I think they played fine and were very unlucky.

[DanielAFC]

I wouldn't say they shit the bed. Italy was just the better team. I wish pirlo's free kick in extra time would have gone in. The technique on that was beautiful.

[mclaincausey]

I disagree, I think England should have won or at least tied. They started shanking passes, shots, and set pieces as soon as Italy scored that goal, and they weren't attacking like they should have and putting people in position to score. Rooney should have scored when he went wide on that shot, his corner shouldn't have gone 50' out of bounds behind the goal, Gerrard's set piece shot shouldn't have gone 10' over goal, and there were numerous terrible passes. During the same period of time I saw one truly errant pass from Italy.

[DanielAFC]

You have just accurately described why Italy were the better team. They took their chances. Should have doesn't win matches. England had a lot of promising play, but trust me, as an arsenal supporter I know that doesn't always translate to success.

How about Costa Rica over Uruguay! What a second half, and a great performance up to the end from Joel Campbell with a well taken goal and assist.

Well Japan started off well , defence crumbled in the second half and Ivory popped in
two very nice goals . Endo (#7 ) for Japan comes from here in Kagoshima .

Seems every world cup , bar a few that England play well as a team .

England started very well, dunno what Rooney was doing over on the other side, but a lovely pass in.  Sterling and Wellbeck were outstanding, but yeah as you say Mac, big game big nerves. 
Fans of the night prize.

That young Sterling from England…he was really refreshing to watch!
