adminSAO PAULO. — Heavyweights England and Uruguay must resurrect their World Cup soccer hopes or face the prospect of an early flight home when they collide in a crunch Group D fixture today.The match starts at 9pm.
Opening defeats to Italy and Costa Rica respectively have left both countries in danger of elimination with little room for error in their last two pool games.
Defeat in Sao Paulo would surely spell doom for either Roy Hodgson’s new-look England or two-time winners Uruguay, who were unimpressive in their 3-1 loss to Costa Rica.
Both countries have question marks over their strikers with calls in British media to either drop talisman Wayne Rooney, or move him from the left to his preferred central role. —AFP.
