Day 13: Costa Rica vs. England

Bitter of what?

no idea. sturridge has been the same player for england as he has for liverpool all year, just had more chances so got away with more misses, he's far from clinical.
 
How has this Costa Rica team beaten Uruguay and Italy, we've been pretty poor and they've done absolutely nothing.

If it wasn't for Sturridge's horrible finishing we could easily be 2 or 3 up.
 
And for those going on about Rooney, apart from 2004, Stirridge has definitely been no worse than Rooney at any other international tournament.
 
Gerrard? You have to be kidding me. This is a World Cup game Roy you knob head.
 
thought i'd seen the last of this prick in an england shirt. worst luck.
 
1 step forward.......10 years back to the combination that doesn't work. Nice one.
 
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.

I really don't think it's bad that one of our best strikers is the second top striker in arguably the best or at least one of the best leagues in the world. We have good options in that position.
 
Gerrard and Lampard midfield! :lol:

Hodgson is useless. Joke of a manager.
 
Liverpool look more and more like a one man team. This England team have burst their bubble.
 
You can always tell a mid-level manager by the loyalty he shows to senior players (wherever possible). It's gratitude for them not speaking-out about his ineptitude.
 
Bitter was the wrong word, more dislike of the player due to him playing for Liverpool.
The issue most people have is the disparity between the treatment he receives from the media and the treatment most United players receive.

Edit: plus him playing shit . again.
 
Golden generation era and this is first time that we see Lampard and Gerrard in midfield,to bad they both might retire from England after WC.
 
And England have come full circle. Hopefully this means a last game for both of them.
 
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.

For the one billionth time.


Sturridge when Suarez has been out has scored plenty, even more than when Suarez was in the team. He's very good for his club, stop pretending otherwise because he's been rubbish for England like most of the squad.
