They should have won easily in regular time.

To be fair, it wasn't a straight red

Arjen Robben apologises for diving but insists he was fouled??

How the fuck does all this simulation work then?

Can it be a dive if he's been fouled, or if he's dived then can it be a foul??

Highly unfancied in the group of death.

Give over, group of death, hahaha, only from a boredom point of view, Italy and England were awful, Urugauy just cheats, the right team from that group make the quarter finals.

Does any official have the balls to call 'keepers out for jumping off the line early?

Some save though

Not clear that he did jump off early.

I've honestly enjoyed this tournament more than any since 1996. It's just a shame England didn't progress.

Not the way they played it isn't, watch the teams that give their all, those teams that don't leave early, and deserve to.

We played well in both games and were extremely unlucky not to have a pen against Italy, Uruguay not to have a played sent off and the ball coming off Gerrards head to lay perfectly for Suarez but I accept that's football and these things happen. Both results could well have been very different.

Completely agree. I think we were actually rather unfortunate. Played well in the Italy game but didn't have the class or luck to get the three points and again in the uruguay game they took their chances and we didn't. Small margins affected us but unfortunately we do not have the class to edge tight games. I don't think we can question the effort this time round.
