England 0 Honduras 0
After a scrappy draw against an overly physical Honduras team in Miami, Roy Hodgson said that the injured Oxlade is making good progress.
Sturridge had three good chances.
First half, after a slick breakaway, his turn-and-hit beat the far post.
Second half, running onto a pass from sub Barkley, his tried a silly chip when he should have blasted it.
And when Glen Johnson’s cross found him seven yards out, Sturridge produced the most mistimed header I\’ve seen since 1999.
We will not keep clean sheets in Brazil.
And we won\’t get out of Group D unless Raheem Sterling starts scoring Michael Owen goals.
The first half was disrupted by a 43-minute thunderstorm which convinced the ref to take the players off.
That interruption came, as Joe Hart said, just as we were starting to slice through them.
Plenty to say about England but not now as it’s 1.30 a.m. and I’m a bit weary.
