Best price England to qualify 7/1.

What do we think the true price is? Think close to 20/1? 40/1?

higher than that?

italy beat costa rica, lets assume

italy 6, uru 3 costa rica 3 eng o

if we are beating costa rica last game, urug and italy stitch us up? draw, italy win group, urug through

only hope we have is beating costa rica late and its far too cute to possibly see it happening

I imagined you could get a treble with padraig (you can't) on ita, ita, eng -1 which would be enough. That came to around 11.4

Random point - but does anyone else find the tattoos of all the England players really irritating?  Especially on that ITV intro when the all fold their arms.

I was wondering yesterday if there are any players that don't have tattoo's ?

gets cut a lot of slack because he's a nice guy and "the right sort of guy" for the FA

Tactically though, i think he's been massively outdone by both Prandelli and Tabarez

this might be a bit of aftertiming i suppose, on my behalf

but gerrard and henderson play in a 3 for liverpool, and get over-run in a 2 for england, both games

never found rooney's right position

not a lot he can do about the back four, coaching can't prevent the sort of mistakes baines, jagielka and johnson delivered. good premiership players but a way off the class required for a world cup against good strikers

Gerrard and Henderson look like they've played 50 games this season. We missed the driving forward from midfield of a Lampard in his prime and were embarrassingly impotent in the middle of the park. That partnership can't happen again. Two slow centre halves who can't play the ball don't work when the midfield isn't dropping back to take the five yard passes and you don't have a number nine to lump it up to.

The intent was there to be more assertive, but it felt like Hodgson picked his best eleven players and then tried to find a system to put them in. That's not how you win a World Cup.

There will be changes for September and beyond. We have two years to build a Euro Champs team.

How he has not only kept his job but been assured his position until 2016 is beyond me. Must have some dirt on someone.

don't get me wrong, he hasn't got world class players, but he didn't utilise what he had correctly

apart from luke shaw, where the defenders are for 2016-18 is the major issue?

stones, flanagan, caulker maybe?

surely we can't go with jagielka, geln johnson again?

conceding two a game (and three of four in this world cup saw us defensively at fault) in a world cup is not going to take you anywhere
