these corporations got too much money tied up in the Rooney brand
in 90 mins he behaved like a #10 should on about 2 occasions - that would add up to 40-50 secs of play
guy's horrible and stays congesting play
things only ever get better when he's out the way but with Gerrard's impending retirement he's the new captain

Stevie needs to retire and I think he will after this tournament.
On the point of the goal though I don't understand how anybody could excuse the defending.
As a defender seeing Cavani and Gerrard contest that header you anticipate defending against that ball being flicked on, especially against Suarez.

I wonder if the England camp are anywhere near as divided as the fan base. After every tournament it's the same shit, finger pointing at players of other clubs who've hurt their feelings at one point or another regardless of the circumstances.

Haven't seen anyone excuse the defending any where.
Have you?

It only took me going back one page to find someone blaming Gerrard for the goal with no mention of the defending.

England got nothing to lose, take Bielsa, give him the keys to the city
least it'll be entertaining and he'll leave something worthwhile behind

He was the main reason for that goal.

Won't see another foreign English manager till after the next WC imo.
They'll let Roy slip up at the Euro's then give him the next WC.
Probably get 0 points for the whole thing.
Then people will want a foreign manager.

Rsonist's post uses the headlines of bastions of journalistic integrity such as the Daily Mail and the Daily Mirror to get a laugh but anyone using it to draw real conclusions is soft in the head.
I can't even be arsed to actually read all the quotes to highlight how simplistic the headlines are or type in 'John Terry blames', 'jose Mourinho blames' ''alex ferguson blames', etc into google. It's pointless.
To say he was the main reason for that goal is so stupid I don't know where to begin, he contested a header and didn't get a good enough contact on it to guide it where he wanted.
It happens about 5 - 10 times a game.

You seem to be talking in random fits and spurts, what are you alluding to?

Roy weren't built for this 'proactive' style they kept talking about
hindsight's a bitch but he got further playing his 'small country in a big world' system
coulda took Terry and his pal Cole and did the same as he did during the Euros - achieve a respectable knock-out-stage failure
this tek era people on here talk about will never happen, not with the coaches they select and the lack of foresight/politicking involved
look at Chile/Mexico - best coached sides in the tournament judging by their play as compared to their personnel
then again Bielsa's like using a cheat code
but Martinez took over Everton from Moyes and within a season they're playing some of the best football in England
so surely it can't be that hard - under the right coaching - to play something resembling 21st centrury football on the international stage
just contradicted myself, this must be how Kim feels when she types them long rants

You need to stop defending Gerrard especially in England shirt because he hasn't had a good game since that game against Germany@Euro 2000.
Gerrard said players like Cristiano Ronaldo are spoiling football(in his own autobiography) by diving.
We all know Gerrard loves a dive and even tried one last night.

I'm not a fan of Hodgson and expected a safety first approach at this World Cup, but after seeing how he lined up against Italy I accepted that I was wrong and gave him credit for stepping outside his comfort zone. The team played on the front foot and took the game to Italy, were it not for his reluctance to address the Rooney situation more directly I think he'd have got a result.
After that game I was optimistic about the Uruguay game but it seems like the team resorted to what I expected him to do for the Italy game, I think this is the reason yesterday was so disappointing for people. I was speaking with someone the other day who tried to say the performance against Italy wasn't much different than the game in 2012, I had to bow out and accept some people can't separate performances and results.
The fact that the same things get said by the same people regardless of how the game went just makes me dismiss their opinion.

To be honest I don't really care about all the blame stuff.
It's football and it's fickle as shit.

Gerrard had 2 options forwards or backwards.
Dunno why anyone would choose to head it backwards in that time of the game and that situation.
