So then, Luis Suarez. Just three and a half weeks after having knee surgery he's been passed fit and is expected to start. Here's to a hearty dose of rustiness and a lack of match fitness because if he is on form, and does cause us problems, and Uruguay actually win, we're as good as out.
Won't come to that though, will it? Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's still a doubt but otherwise England are at full strength, and the bookies seem to fancy us as well. Uruguay are out at 5/2 for the win, the draw's the same price and England are 11/10. Not a bad outright price, that but if you fancy risking it, we're 7/2 with BTTS.
Speaking of scoring, despite his fitness concerns Luis Suarez probably will. Fancy him to get the first at 4/1, and with all the stick Wayne Rooney's been getting over the last few days, 11/8 on him in the anytimes might not be a bad shout either. Silencing the critics and that...
Prediction: 2-1 (9/1)
