Jonathan Fairfield Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 After defeats for Uruguay and England in their opening fixtures of World Cup 2014, both sides go into the match knowing that this is a must win game. Following their somewhat toothless display against Costa Rica, Uruguay will be buoyed by the news that star striker Luis Suarez has been declared 100% fit to play. England welcome back Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain back from injury. However, the main talking points from the England camp in the run up to this game has been the form of Wayne Rooney, who despite being just 11 goals shy of Bobby Charlton's England goal scoring record, has been on the end some much criticism following his display against Italy. The Rooney situation leaves Roy Hodgson with a dilemma before he names his starting 11. Rather than drop Rooney from the starting line up. it is expected that he will take up a more central role up front, with Raheem Sterling moving over to the left hand side. A must watch for any England fan. Will the three lions be triumphant? Or have we seen this all before? Let us know your thoughts below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Fairfield Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Personally, I can see this being a score draw, then both sides will have to go into the last with absolutely everything to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P45Mustang Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Let's hope England turn up. Traffic congestion in that area is a nightmare I believe. I predict success or abject failure btw. Neither team will be fiddling about playing for a cagey draw. 3-2 England win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartender100 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 England will win, going to be a fast attacking game as its the way both teams are playing, Sterling will cause massive panic in the Uruguay defense, 3 upfront.

Travel2003 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Personally, I can see this being a score draw, then both sides will have to go into the last with absolutely everything to play for. We know what can happen if Italy already have qualified for next round, before they meet Uruguay in the last. Depending upon who the winner/second will meet in next round, I will not be surprised to see Italy and Uruguay play for their next round match. England MUST win this match. Draw is not good enough.

P45Mustang Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I think I'll stick to 3 Leo's and a replay of the Ox scoring against Brazil at the Maracana. Hope the knee of the Ox is OK cos we might need him in a last ditch stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickBradford Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Rather than drop Rooney from the starting line up. it is expected that he will take up a more central role up front, with Raheem Sterling moving over to the left hand side. Why take the most effective player away from the position he played so well in last time out, and shove him out on the wing, simply to accommodate a glowering plug-ugly who has never delivered on the big stage? Roy? Uruguay 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teatree Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 If England can recreate the way they played against Italy they will win. 2-1 England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy? Uruguay 2-1. Because Uruguay will be without there first choice full back Maxi Periera who was red carded in there previous game so I think whoever they bring in will really not like Sterling running at them with pace. Also i thought Sterling tired in the second half of the game against Italy and was wasteful in possession.The Ox could replace him if the same thing happens tonight. Suarez is definitely not 100% match fit and he needs tackling hard on that knee early on nothing like letting him know what to expect all game,although i will be surprised if he lasts the game. 3-1 England 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for it England i think england will win relatively comfortably really. uruguay simply aren't all that - cavani's pretty good, suarez is amazing but no way 100% fit, but uruguay lack the players to get the ball to them. no reason at all why england shouldn't impose themselves on the game and just go win it.

Apparently Stirling said he is happy to play in any position they choose. How refreshing is that? Whatever I would like to see him start. As for Rooney give 45mins, if he doesn't perform, he doesn't come out for the second half. jb1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"well obviously i'm just pleased and proud to be selected and i'll play wherever the gaffer/boss/manager/former malmo clown tells me to and give 100%". it's a time-honoured soundbite. and sterling absolutely has to start. he's england's best attacker.

Even if it is so they can show him how it's done. jb1 Sent from my GT-I8160 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
