Not sure you were watching England v Italy were you? I'm sure they'd love to hear your opinions on a Spurs forum somewhere.

2-1 full time
i'm not disappointed best I've seen England play for ages
but, defensively it wasn't great
Maybe if we play like this against a deflated uruguay we could win or more realistically draw.
The fact is that if we beat Uruguay and Italy beat Costa rica we are right back in this... I just hope it happens

I'm not a particular fan of Rooney. I think he had a great euro tournament, but has never really lived up to that. I think a lot of people decided based on that tournament that he is great, so cling to any good play and overstate it, dressing it up as the greatest ever (for example, he goal from the half way line late last season that people tried to turn into the greatest thing ever), I think he is picked on his name rather than his form.
Having said that, I just had a look at twitter to see what they were saying (I don't normally check trending topics, just stick to what the people I follow are tweeting) and my god there are some really horrible and unnecessary comments, and I say that as someone who isn't quick to defend him. https://twitter.com/hashtag/rooney?f=realtime&src=hash

No we do not want any player getting roasted by the press. Yes, he should have been substituted but any slagging off our players by the media will be detrimental to the squad.##
They still will though
Cool. Are spurs are Hispanic team? Dick

There is a nucleus within this team that suggests that, given the right nurturing, we could eventually produce a genuinely world class side. The squad has an attacking philosophy that has been missing over the years, and lots of raw talent, and pace, in the youngsters.
At the back, given this approach, we need to be tighter. Tonight we looked very vulnerable and were punished for it.
That said, I'm genuinely sad for the team. The attitude is right, but we can't expect great things now-not yet.

Really? Was taking people on all night. The only 1 really who looked to go past a player until Lallana and Barkley came on.
Sturridge sterling barkley lallana is the front 4 i would like to see after viewing tonight

I'm going to bed. I didn't think we played badly tonight. A draw would have been a fairer result.
Still think we will go through.
Good night all.

don't forget that Spain lost their first game in 2010, and they went on to win it so it could still happen

We are a very good team now. If you can't see the fantastic potential in this side you must be blind.

Again wrong. I can think if a few. Clearly during those periods you were emptying your bladder after to much beer.
I will after when you explain when supporting spurs has something to do with England. Cock.
