Luis Suarez scored both of Uruguay's goals as they won 2-1 to leave England on the verge of World Cup elimination. Wayne Rooney thought he had snatched a draw for England after he equalised Suarez's opener in the first half. But with five minutes left on the clock Steven Gerrard accidentally put the striker through and he beat Joe Hart to give Uruguay a 2-1 win. Only a minor miracle will keep England in the tournament now.
If Costa Rica and Italy draw on Friday afternoon, or the Central Americans beat Cesare Prandelli's team, England will be eliminated with one match to spare. If Italy won both their remaining games, Uruguay, Costa Rica and England will be tied for second spot, provided that Hodgson's men win their final match. No team in World Cup history has gone through after two defeats, so England might start thinking about going home after next Tuesday's game in Belo Horizonte against Costa Rica.
