It's okay, I'm a Croatia/ Mexico veteran so this is actually incredibly exciting.

Good by Barkley, right up until the vital moment.

Farmyard football. Costa Rica can't be arsed, England doing what they do best - grinding it out with little imagination or technique. Very dull.
Chiles is happy at half time, plenty of chances apparently. Not sure what game he's watching but glad he's enjoying it.
Keeper denies Sturridge, poor first touch from him or he might have scored.
Jack just flops to the ground looking for the FK :doh:
Yellow for Barkley for blatant shirt pulling. Shaw should have been booked too for some serious hackery.
Awful by Lallana - commentators love it even though the end result was garbage. I think all you need to do is run fast in a straight line and you are viewed as a serious talent.
LOL - commentators looking for a red after a standard trip. "Brutal" apparently.
Lumpard blasts the FK straight at the wall.
