Before we all commit hara kiri, we still have a not unreasonable chance of qualifying for the next round. Italy would have to win both of their matches, but that's not ridiculous.

OK. It was ridiculous.

My take on it is thus -
Didnt expect to get out of the group stages as clearly a really difficult group
Thought we played well against Italy - attacked and pressured them on the ball - left back was our achilles heel but I wasnt ashamed and I thought we did well
Last night was more mixed
First half I thought we showed spirit and had good spells - Rooney was unlucky when hit the inside corner - was even and tbh both teams had lapses and good spells
Second half we started in total disarray and it was lucky we didnt get punished
The Suarez goal was harsh on us and just a testament to an opportunistic run that he does a lot and on this occasion worked - he finished very well though and showed he has class
After that we were a bit panicked tbh and didnt play balls into space. We were hussled off the ball and didnt really close them down as well as the first game
We didnt play as well in the second game but I again thought they wanted to win and played as well as they could.
I dont think we will go through but we will see - I still thought we didnt shame ourselves though.
I know one thing and that is the pressure must be immense - I know they are well paid etc etc but nontheless its a lot to have to handle - I was glad Rooney managed to tap one in - he has had so much criticism - as has Suarez

Spot on. This is pretty much exactly my assessment. That is why I'm not devastated about being knocked out. We gave it a fair shot. Last time round we went through, but we were complete rubbish.
