Thing about them is they can scrape wins depending on their mood. Tough one to call, pinky.

Our attacks were really individuals pulling out a piece of skill and dribbling past players. The only good move was the one we scored from. We have just left the front four to do it all by themselves. How many times have we seen players stop and think what to do next? They should know what is wanted of them, who is going to be in support etc. We have four players high up the pitch, the rest sitting deep. Absolutely clueless, individualistic and no support or cohesion.
Other limited teams in this world cup show signs of having a cohesive game plan and knowing what their jobs are and have options on the ball. Just basic organisation at least would have been nice and a bit more of it can go a long way. This is the most disjointed, chaotic team I have seen so far.

Aren't Italy on +1 and Uruguay on -1? So a win, even by 1 goal will have Italy on the superior goal difference.

i just think Sherwood speaks his mind (wasnt a dig), whereas all ive seen from Chiles and his minions is tiptoeing around the players, england got the selection and tactics badly wrong but ive not heard one pundit put the boot in and say the obvious.

I said it from day one, you need more running power through the middle.We missed that running power from the center of the park. Should of played Barkley in a 4-3-3...or sacrificed Henderson or even Gerrard...and had him as one of the two with more licence to drive forward.
Should of brought someone who was really prepared to sit, do the donkey work and put their foot in. Barry and Barkely as the two would of been my choice.
I know Barkley is a more a number ten type but for this tournament I would of put him in midfield with somebody very disciplined beside him.

It's funny, the difference between us and Chile is greater than the difference between us and Brazil!
Speaks volumes.

I say this from as neutral a position as an Englishman can be:
Hodgson fell into the trap of trying to win each game. You have three games. First against the 'strongest' team in the group in difficult conditions? Keep it tight, a draw is good enough. It means your opponent then needs to beat other teams in the group.
He buckled, believed the hype of the team and started too open and despite 'encouraging' signs, lost.
Picked the wrong team again against Uruguay, and the wrong tactics, chucked on players that should have started in place of his impact player and lost.
Needs a big win against Costa Rica, but don't expect to see it.

We've had the discussion before on here about armchair pundits/fans thinking they could do better than the manager... This is one of those occasions, where after witnessing the last two games, have to say I think I could!
