WORLD CUP GROUP D:

Suarez savages Three Lions

Although not technically out just yet, they are definitely down and, barring some major assistance from Italy and an even bigger change in their own fortunes, not likely to bounce back any time soon.

Instead, the scene-stealer was a player only too familiar to them all from his devastating displays in the red of Liverpool. Two goals from Luis Suarez, whose performance made a mockery of concerns about his fitness, were the difference in Sao Paulo, ensuring that, while Uruguay recovered from their shock defeat to Costa Rica, it was back to back misery in defeat for England.
