So, already we have lost Spain (the reigning champions), Cameroon and Australia.
The latter despite Tim Cahill's awesome volley. I can't post a link to that video, as I am banned by work filters.
From the BBC website:
Quote:"England fans do not despair. Even in defeat by Uruguay, qualification is possible.
"There are presently 81 different permutations for Group D. Should England lose in Sao Paulo, they need Italy to beat Costa Rica on Friday.
"Then England must overcome Costa Rica next Tuesday and hope Italy simultaneously defeat Uruguay.
"If level, goal difference splits teams, then goals scored, finally results and goals in games involving the teams concerned.
"Should England draw against Uruguay, they would finish level with them at worst with victory against a Costa Rican side beaten by Italy.
"If England beat Uruguay, a draw against Costa Rica could be enough, depending on goal difference."

EIGHTY ONE permutations?????? Really???
Hodgson's men need a miracle now.In the even of Italy winning their last 2 games--distinctly possible.Then Uruguay, England and Costa Rica will all have 3 points.I am out of hopes,but still praying for England to squeak through to the next round.
