9 mins: Shaw to Wilshere, good turn, but then Jack decides to have a bit of a lie down on the edge of the penalty area. We needed the full backs more involved to create width. We had low expectations for England in the World Cup and boy have they met them in style.
Robert Stewart: 64 mins: Really nice one-two between Sturridge and Wilshere on the edge of the box, classy play, Sturridge is sent through and has his second excellent chance of the match. England … England end disappointing World Cup with barren draw against Costa Rica England's Daniel Sturridge had several good chances but could not make them pay against Costa Rica's Keylor Navas. I should not have called it dull and uninspiring, or at least I should have qualified it by saying "to these English ears". That is probably wise but they need to communicate to Lampard much better. That's a very good thing. Eh? It was also the only group with three top 10 FIFA World Ranking teams as of October 2013 (ranking date for final draw) and at the start of the competition. But we've done all that for the last two or three days, talking about how disappointed and sad we are. The nihilism.
In six weeks time everyone will be going giddy mental over Liverpool v Man City or whatever and all this will be like a bad dream, until the next tournament, when we will again be outraged and upset that Gerrard, or Wilshere, or Barkley or whoever is the currenty world class Premier League star du jour is proven to be not quite as good as whatever foreign player it happens to be that time. 78 mins: Rooney, my unkind sneering aside, has just gone close with a clever chop. Create a commenting name to join the debate, There are no Independent Premium comments yet - be the first to add your thoughts, There are no comments yet - be the first to add your thoughts. 5, Did very little against England unlike first two World Cup games.
41 mins: Useful play from Wilshere as he finds Barkley, who does a good jinky run and lashes a shot wide, he was off-balance as he hit it. Incorrectly, I would suggest on replay evidence. Ah, but the first touch is that of the ole cement mixer.
on that Sturridge miss: "Owen: "Agony seeing us go so close! FULL TIME: England have a point at the World Cup. How can he smile when fans have paid all this money to travel around the world and dress as Saint George? Oh for pity's sake. 38 mins: Decent spell for England but here come CRC... Gamboa their wing back down the right with a strong run, useful cross but Ben Foster, who has been excellent so far, gathers. I'd go follow the end of Italy v Uruguay if I were you. "I'm not concerned about Daniel Sturridge, he'll take goal chances in the future. That will improve the more games they play, but they're well advanced for their age. Are you sure you want to delete this comment? I'm enjoying the USA myself. The Costa Rican first, sung with gusto by players and fans alike. 36 mins: Wilshere and Lampard contrive to free Milner down the left, good run from him and a decent cross as well. Barkley booked. 76 mins: And here comes Wazza. 72 mins: England have had their moments but Costa Rica are a better side and they're starting to get on top. 5, Yeltsin Tejeda Played fine but never really a threat. Is that a snorkel? 5, Played ok but not as attacking as before. Costa Rica also struggled at times for fluency, short of the vibrancy and energy that had helped them overcome Uruguay and Italy. Are you sure you want to mark this comment as inappropriate? Something for the fans to cheer about in terms of the performance" Well, there you have it. It is almost time for them to fly to Miami/Marbella/Ibiza for their well-earned summer holidays, but before that they have one more match to play against so-called minnows Costa Rica. “An emotional moment,” Hodgson said afterwards. "Where were you when you were playing for Fulham?" And here's some footage from 1990 when Los Ticos took good care of Scotland... All white: Joel Campbell and Ross Barkley have experienced differing fortunes in Brazil, Internet abuzz as rogue fly lands on Mike Pence's head during vice-presidential debate, Economy at risk of stalling, Bank of England warns, Henry Winter: England's World Cup ends in a whimper, Hodgson: England did not deserve standing ovation, Project Babb: 34 reasons why this is best World Cup ever.
"Can understand why Hodgson has given the fringe players their chance.
One might reasonably have expected that describing it as "brooding, intense, like listening to Radiohead or Roy Keane" and awarding it "five thumbs up" would have flagged up to the average reader that the ranking of the anthems was not meant entirely seriously but there you have it. For England, it was the strange feeling of being at someone else’s party, outside with their noses pressed against the window. The Premier League is just too good a product, too big an earner for anyone to ever change all the things that would need to be changed. 1 mins: Nice bit of early passing in the Costa Rican midfield. 5, Lallana Some sharp runs round the corner, trying to out-wit the Costa Rican defence, and a few nice touches, but never too influential before he was taken off. If anything, the defender got in front of Sturridge.". Foster gets up well to gather. Some nice play but not quite the killer ball as yet. Want an ad-free experience?Subscribe to Independent Premium. Or do you just go "oh well, that was an off-day.. .we didn't get the rub of the green...ref stitched us up" etc etc.
Roy Hodgson: "We dominated it completely and we showed what a good side we are today. 7, Showed his years of experience with a controlling performance at the base of the midfield, giving a glimpse of the type of player England have missed. <noframe>Twitter: Paul Kelso - England fans boo the Mexican wave.
How many Costa Ricans would get in the top 40? High foot as he slides in and he's absolutely clattered the keeper. 52 mins: All England in the first few minutes of the second half, ball and territory for Barkley and Lallana among others. So many to choose from! 47 mins: Erm sorry missed the first couple of minutes there because I was thinking about Frank Lamapard, who looked to have turned his ankle. England's "planning for the future" ended with Gerrard and Lampard in the centre of the park, hoofing balls into the box and hoping that Rooney could get on the end of one of them. Can't see why Beckham would want the job I have to say. Evan Fanning, blogging the Italy v Uruguay match says "it's one of the worst games of football I have ever seen." And that can never happen, because we have the Premier League. And Milner, Mr Utility? 48 mins: Gamboa's fouled Lalalalallana. 6, The most dangerous of England’s new players, he drove forward with the ball, played with his head up and sparked England’s best moves. 16.35 And we have tried everything. The disappointment. Chiellini seems to be claiming he was bitten by Suarez!!". Rage rage rage calm calm. I can't do it. Foster calls for the ball but Cahill either ignores him or does not hear him and nips in. 29 mins: Wilshere runs into a crowd of Ricans and loses it. Our journalists will try to respond by joining the threads when they can to create a true meeting of independent Premium. 16.11 That England team as released last night was correct but perhaps a slightly different formation than we thought. Seriously, it's not even worth being annoyed about England.
Andy Townsend, take it away "AT THIS LEVEL, CLIVE..." and you can fill in the rest for yourselves. Costa Rica break though, England are exposed here. Let the youth have it's day in the sun for goodness sake. So we must be better.
England is still in the top 15% of footballing nations. Ollie Govett with a much more interesting prediction question: Who will be the 1st premier league club to rashly buy a player who has played well so far this world cup but is actually rubbish over 38 games week in and week out, away at Burnley in November for example...would you prefer to see a hardened PL player like...er...james milner who has been unused this summer or your world cup summer signing from Costa Rica who has been great in 2 games being nobbled on the touchline by a crazed stud wearing, zero tolerance for hair gel English fullback ..surely we will be seeing Mexicans and Chileans next season in the PL? Motivation is the key , you just have to find the right tool.
