England go 1-0 down against Ecuador..who have a GK who looks 90.

Chris Smalling for you

If it wasn't for Rickie playing...I'd watch the Welsh game

Oxlade-Chamberlain looks a lazy sod...offering Milner no hope and not running for anyone.

I invented a drinking game...take a shot everytime Wilshere gives the ball away...you'll be smashed before half-time.

The best way to enjoy this World Cup is to not expect too much from England.

I'll be amazed if we reach the knock out stage.

I'm amazed we made the group stage.

NOOOOOOOOOOO, that was Rickies goal...thieving *modded*

Rooney equalises.

England look AWFUL defensively..Milner isn't a RB and it shows...the CBs look poor, Shaw has given the ball away everytime he has it, Milner and Barkley offer NOTHING defensively.

dive from Wilshere.

We look very promising going forward but thats because we are so bad defensively and we are leaving a ton of space for Ecuador to exploit. No defensive midfielder in the side leaving the defence exposed everytime we lose the ball going forward. All ten outfield players look pretty good on the ball but there is a lack of understanding of what others are doing and this is shown up most obviously in the back four.

I can see us scoring one or two goals at the World Cup but we are clearly going to concede a few and as the game wears on and heat and humidity takes effect we're going to be very vulnerable.

What are you worried about he's a Liverpool player anyway! Plus he did miss an open goal from one yard albeit with a back heel.

Very good to see Woy is having a look at all players and is experimenting with positions. Its amazing how poor the CB depth is of England compared to a few years ago. Dawson is better than smalling.

Glad he is looking at Milner as RB, not doing well, but worth a look.

Rooney, well he's scored, and is probably a long way from match fitness.
