McManaman is atrocious is the commentary box.

Rooney couldn't score right now if his life depended on it.

I almost feel sorry for him.

I like him.....he and Darke work well together.

Although, I wish I had Derek Rae and Tommy Smyth again.

Love Darke, I grew up listening to him commentate on boxing; now that was amazing. Tommy Smyth is interesting and I will leave it at that.

Barkley finally comes on but does so in place of Sterling?

What is Hodgson doing?

Too conservative, always has been. It's his nature. Barkley should have started.

 

[Texas Ace]

Good for Rooney who had been so unlucky in this game.

 

[Texas Ace]

Sturridge with some clever dribbling and possession started that play.

Nicely done.

Sturridge is becoming a fine player and happy enough for Rooney. England can win this now.

 

[Texas Ace]

Wow.

And that is why Luis Suarez is the single best striker in the world.

2 chances, 2 goals.

 

[Carl]

England can win this now.

Oops.

 

[Texas Ace]

Luis MF'ng Suarez.

What a player.

 

[Kbrown]

Are you from there?

I'm from a couple of hours down Hwy 59 from there, but it's where I went to college.

 

[Texas Ace]

Andrea Pirlo....what a legend.

 

[Texas Ace]

Kasey Keller is fricking awful in the booth.

Whose bright idea was it to put him there?

He sucks.

He sucks.

That man is a national treasure. He can do no wrong.

 

[Texas Ace]

That sure looked like a penalty to me.

 

[1bigfan13]

Costa Rica just got jobbed. They should be taking a penalty kick.

Huge no call by the officials.

 

[1bigfan13]

That sure looked like a penalty to me.

They got their goal anyway.

I guess the "ball don't lie" theory crosses over into soccer.

 

[Deuce]

For as minutely slim as England's chances of advancing are, a CR point or 3 here does them in. I approve of this.
