Day 13: Costa Rica vs. England

Another miss. Couldn't hit a cows bum with a banjo. How he gets picked over Rooney is one of the great mysteries of our time.
 
We've played better second half.

We need to cut our losses with at least one of Jones and Smalling and send the other on loan to a low ranked PL club or even a Championship club where they could play CB every single game. The way we have handled both of their careers is shameful. Jones in particular looks absolutely awful nowadays.

So true. :(
 
People kneejerking in here is pretty embarrassing. Sturridge has had a poor tournament but he's clearly not a "rubbish player" or some of the crap that's been said. Much better players than him have been useless for England in the past.
 
If Danny or Wayne had missed that Sturridge chance, England fans would be calling for their heads..

He was second top scorer in the league, ahead of lots of those supposedly vastly superior foreign players.

What has happened with Phil? Looks like a mediocre player for quite some time now.

So would, for example, John Terry if we played him at full back more often than not. It simply isn't his position. One on one he is quite excellent

If Rooney had this kind of game (should he ever be selected up top) it would have been like Beckham in 98 on his return
 
as a matter of interest, does nayone know how many international caps Andy Dickhead won?

Precisely. A lot of bitterness on here.
 
Imagine the media apoplexy if Rooney came on for Sturridge and scored to win the game.

When the dippers sell Suarez this summer they're screwed for goals.
 
Again Sturridge fell over his own feet. Feckwit. His best mate is Winnie the Pooh

Slightly different considering Rooney has failed multiple times over a long England career and this is Sturridge's first and at least he scored, took Rooney much longer to do that.


It would also be stupid kneejerking if it was Rooney though.

He isn't rubbish. He is a decent PL level striker. The best number 9 that England have though? It says more about our options in that position than it does about Sturridge.
