and now our physio is being carried off...hope we've got a reserve....

He should be able to fix himself shouldn't he

[FreddyFubar]

Not too early for beer, bud. In Thailand it is 0545

[Jonathan Fairfield]

Fascinating, enthralling, edge of the seat stuff for England fans. Let's hope the second half is the same

[HeavyDrinker]

Good work from Hart there after Gerrard's careless pass gave Italy posession.

Bbc play lagging for you guys as well?

I got a few 1-2 second freezes every 3 minutes got tired of it and put it on the TV, I'm in UK though.

Clearer pic on the net but with a framerate loss, even on a 75 meg a second connection.

[HeavyDrinker]

England have been the better side by some way. Concentration is going to be key in the second wallop

[scunner]

Usual roller coaster ride, should be used to it after 40 years, but there you go, pass the hair dye though lol

[mrbojangles]

On the counter we have a lot more pace than the Italians. I'm hoping with our youth, as the game goes on the Italians start to tire more than us.

Indeed. Sterling has had them on the back foot every time he's had the ball. There's certainly a case for Lallanna if Italian legs start to tire.

[rhythmworx]

England have surprised me TBH they've brought back some hope, thought they would have played worse than they have

[White Tiger]

Anybody?? How can I get English commentary?

You won't on Thai TV I believe,there is English commentary on the RS channel Truevisions 668.

Channel 8 has English commentary also.

True Vision - channel 668 - has English commentary and HD picture - as I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Sometimes I think Gerrard have ice under his shoes.

We need to shore up that right flank. We're getting eaten there....

[JetsetBkk]

Piss off Terry, the footballs on......

+1

[Jonathan Fairfield]

Ross Barkley - the new Gazza?

Let's hope so.

[Jonathan Fairfield]

Big chance Wazza. Big chance

[Camelot]

It's OK Terry.

Ukraine, Belgium. Ireland, Iraq, Syria and European Royalty aren't competing...

[scunner]

We have got to convert these chances for crying out loud...it's killing us (well that and the right flank)

[HeavyDrinker]

Quite. you have to take every chance at this level......

Terry, you didn't mention that him from off of Porridge and 'Allo 'Allo has keffed it....some correspondent from the real world you are....pshaw!!.....

Do England not work on corners in training?

Both attacking and defending....!!

[scunner]

Balletoli off, chance for us to do a smash and grab?

[HeavyDrinker]

Ballotelli off and on comes Immobile the top scorer in Serie A...and we bring on Wilshere .....erk....

[HeavyDrinker]

Let Baines take it.....

[scunner]

[Jonathan Fairfield]

That corner just about sums up Rooney's performance tonight.
