Hodgson says that's the best we've played in 2 years'
Fuck me
Thing is though he's not far wrong, as what he has to compare it with has been too dreadful to imagine. Often we've never competed or looked bright. Against Italy we did both on occasion and our passing (again compared to the dirge of our past) was an improvement.
Not too clever losing our first game mind. With Uruguay fighting for their lives on Thursday too we'll have to be up for it. I'd bring Oxlade-Chamberlain in and yank Rooney off, who's guaranteed to start regardless, no later than halftime if he's not producing. We only get one chance to stay in the tournament now and Hodgson needs to show guts, or else this World Cup might go down the toilet based on his weakness to do the right thing for the team rather than an individual.
