FIFA World Cup 2014 - GROUP D [Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy - 14/19/20/24 June] **spoilers**

[Fulax]

In other news, Italy are drawing 1-1 with Luxembourg.

All this press talk about Rooney fascinates me. I have thought he was overrated for quite a while now. He's just been shown up by Ox, Lambert and Barkley. His place should be in doubt.

Totally agree that Wilshere has been awful in this match. England with plenty to do.

Wait...didn't Rooney score 17 goals in 20 odd games last season and 7 in qualifiers?

Without those goals there's a good chance we wouldn't be going to Brazil at all. He's got a 1 in 2 record for Man Utd...he isn't overrated.

 

[Robbo]

Go on Valencia, knock him out.

 

[McBain]

Er.... is this referee having a laugh?

 

[nemtizz]

What?

 

[Purdy]

We go again

We go again is fine, we did and repeated the exact same result

Valencia should be off, massive ****house.

 

[drunkenmaster]

Shocking tackle, for a friendly that is a horrendous tackle, and yes, Valencia's reaction was not good though it's a bit of a pansy reaction.

You can easily easily break someone's ankle jumping in and scissoring a players ankle like that, and that could easily, so easily end someone's world cup, reckless and stupid to make a tackle like that.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Poor challenge but a red for Sterling? Never.

 

[omnomnom]

Valencia should walk for that.

 

[Purdy]

Sterling sent off for a horrible manc being a horrible manc

 

[chroniclard]

Horrendous tackle? flol are you mad.

 

[Russinating]

Shame for Sterling, totally not a red and missed out on some valuable time there. Valencia, wtf is he thinking.

 

[jonneymendoza]

wtf is wrong with valencia? scum.

Sterling should do him for assault.

Its only a ****ing friendly

 

[Frankiemac]

Sterling wasn't a red card. Valencia was for grabbing his throat.

 

[nemtizz]

Valencia is the ultimate ****house.

 

[Purdy]

Shame for Sterling, totally not a red and missed out on some valuable time there. Valencia, wtf is he thinking.

Indeed, got the ball, clipped the man

 

[physichull]

Think I agree with Andy Townsend on this one, Valencia's reaction got them both sent off, not the original tackle.

 

[Kenai]

Both cards well deserved, would have dished out one to Wilshere I think it was too who waded in swinging his arm about.

Crap challenge for a supposedly professional game, you can't just launch in like that and hope for the best.

 

[omnomnom]

That's not a red, ridiculous decision. Valencia is a big tart.

 

[blairw]

I can see why valencia had a go, shouldn't be making that sort of challenge in an international warm up match but he did go overboard
