England had more shots on target (six to two), more possession (63% to 37%), more territory (51% to 49%), made more passes (436 to 257) and completed more of those passes (82% completion rate to 64%).

Uruguay scored more goals.

QPR manager Harry Redknapp on BBC Radio 4: "Luis Suarez was the difference. Uruguay brought back a world-class player and his goals were fantastic. He is better than anything we have.

"But it has been disappointing. I think it was an average Italy we lost to last week and last night, against a very poor Uruguay, we got undone. The way we are going you wouldn't bet against us beating Costa Rica.

"I'm sure Roy Hodgson should continue, he couldn't have done any more and you can see it was a happy camp.

"We should play the way that Liverpool played last season and when Roy does call it a day there are two young managers up on Merseyside in Roberto Martinez and Brendan Rodgers who are absolutely fantastic."

"Man they know better than to give Suarez that much room bruh!", external

They could be the words of Neil Lennon, Rio Ferdinand or Phil Neville, but the biggest-hitting pundit on last night's big game was Bajan pop uberstar Rihanna.

Her comment on England's failure to close down Suarez on his favoured right foot was retweeted 11,000 times.

Her other observations were that the "Uruguay defense is almost disrespectful!!! 2 good" and a four-letter, but complimentary, review of Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera's performance.

Mark Withers on text: Never thought I'd say this but John Terry, Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard should have been the backbone. Wayne Rooney is dispensable and Roy Hodgson should stay.

James in Brackley on text: No way should Hodgson resign, we play much better football under his management. Here's hoping for a few results to go our way. On the plus side we have scored more goals than Spain. #every cloud has a silver lining #keepbelieving.

England goalkeeper Joe Hart says the way Luis Suarez got free to score the decisive goal in Uruguay's 2-1 win via a long ball from his own defence was "disappointing".

"It's a hard one to take," Hart told BBC Radio 5 live.

"It's a long kick from the goalkeeper that has come straight through and he has smashed it past me. It's how it falls sometimes. In such a tight, intense game, for them to get in with that is so disappointing."

"Give Roy Hodgson some time to recover and take the nation forward. If we keep changing we'll just become like a Premier League club."

"It's not about picking your star players, it's about getting a balance of a side which is going to get you a result. We never do. The media is to blame as anybody else because when they drop somebody, or they play somebody in a different position, we're on the case straight away.

"How do you win football matches? You start from the back and then you get organised and if you've got two or three creative players, you build a side round certain players.

"That gets your side balanced. Not about having the best 11 flair players you can find. We never, ever, ever learn."

Alex Kimber:, external Lallana and Barkley have to start the next game and we have to hope Italy can do us a big favour. Still, loving this World Cup.

Simon Crump:, external Hodgson is a good man and his football has at least been easier on the eye than that of previous managers. He should stay.

Djrumba:, external Proud England finally produced their best displays in 15 years. Finally we can retain and pass the ball, but we are not the finished product.

Suarez underwent surgery a month ago and had missed his country's first match in Brazil against Costa Rica.

Luis Suarez said that his performance was a response to England boss Roy Hodgson's comments that the Uruguay and Liverpool striker was still short of being among the world's best., external

"The England coach said I was a proven Premier League player, but not world class," Suarez told El Observador., external

"So there is the answer. He sees me all year and he knows my worth as a player and a person. It takes courage and character to keep moving forward.

"Before the game too many people in England laughed about my attitude over the last few years. This is a very good time for me. I want to see what they think now."
