England Lose Second World Cup Fixture
England are on the brink of having to exit the World Cup early after losing their second match in the tournament.
The side lost 2-1 to Uruguay on Thursday night. The match, which was held in Sao Paulo, saw Uruguay take a 1-0 lead thanks to a goal from Luis Suarez. Wayne Rooney even the score for England, before Suarez came back to score his second goal.
It is the second loss of this year's competition for England and the team now has to wait on the result of the Italy v Costa Rica game on Friday evening to see if they will progress to the knock-out stages, or whether they will go home early.
