Mourinho: Don’t drop Casillas
“Iker has a very good track record with the national team. He’s a goalkeeper with the confidence of the Coach and had a bad game.

“Personally, for me that’s not enough to change the goalkeeper.”

England’s Daniel Sturridge will do whatever it takes to beat Uruguay
“I’m going to do anything in my power to win this game, just like they are prepared to do anything,” Sturridge responded. “I’m prepared to do anything, and I’m talking anything.”

The way he accentuated that final “anything” brought some knowing smiles from his audience. “I’m being serious,” he continued. “I’m prepared to do anything to win this game. It’s do or die. It’s a World Cup. It means everything. Do we want to go home? No, we don’t want to go home. I want to win this World Cup. I’d be gutted to go home early. I’d be devastated. So I’m being totally honest here. I’m not saying I’m going to dive or do anything that’s not within the laws of the game, but I will do anything to help get a result.”

So, hypothetically, would that mean deliberately going down, in the way Michael Owen did against Argentina in 1998, if he felt the merest contact in the penalty area? It sounded like that was what he was getting at.

I’d be watching for a guy with a chainsaw on the pitch. It could be perfectly innocent, of course...

Maybe a reprieve for the keeper as yet another sub scores to tie the match.
