GET INVOLVED: Will England qualify from Group D? #bbcworldcup
Never mind the pundits, what about the public?
The early risers are already giving us their reaction to last night's game, and England's chances of playing a fourth, on Twitter via #bbcworldcup, external and on 81111 on Twitter.
Thierry Henry
Former France and Arsenal striker
"I have missed chances like the one Rooney did in the second half at 2-1 down, but Wayne will know that in a game like this one, he has to score there. He didn't, and that was the turning point for me.
"It was a disappointing defeat for England but remember they were not outplayed. Yes, Italy were keeping the ball at times but you could not say England did not play well either."
Former England midfielder Danny Murphy
""It is definitely not all doom and gloom for Roy Hodgson's side. I watched Uruguay lose to Costa Rica earlier on Saturday and, if we play with the same attacking verve we did against Italy and make that many chances in those two games, I think we will get out of this group."
Former England defender Rio Ferdinand on BBC One
Former England defender Rio Ferdinand on BBC One:
"England might have lost but the performance of Raheem Sterling was amazing to see. He was the star man for us, the go-to guy.
"For a young guy like him to get a lot of responsibility - in terms of us giving him the ball and telling him to go out there and do something - bodes well for the future."
Former England striker Alan Shearer
BBC Sport
"The reason Italy won the game was because their right flank was their strong point.
"There are not too many people who would not have started with Leighton Baines in this game. He was let down by a lack of protection in front of him.
"There were positives too, though. Raheem Sterling, Daniel Sturridge and Ross Barkley were all included and gave good performances."
If you are waking up to the result and haven't seen the game, then here is chief football writer Phil McNulty's report from Manaus.
