    Norway looking the more lively side at the start of the second half. Mats Daehli wins a free-kick, great delivery and Jordan Henderson has to head it behind for a corner.

    "England need to be better in the half and find a better final pass. They also need to play with a bit more flair and freedom."

    Good hands from Joe Hart as he scoops up a low Mats Daehli cross into the box. A home defeat would not go down well at all...

    Daily Mirror chief sports writer Oliver Holt:, external 'Loving the buzz', a message has just said on the big screen at Wembley. Buzz? More of a drone tonight really.

    That Angel Di Maria goal was very special indeed. He played a one-two on the halfway line, burst into space and then chipped over Roman Weidenfeller.

    And it's a hat-trick for Angel Di Maria. . . a hat-trick of assists that is. An inswinging free-kick by the new £59.7m Manchester United signing is headed home by new Swansea City defender Federico Fernandez. Moments later a delicate chip by Di Maria makes it 4-0. Goodness me. I think Germany might have been celebrating their World Cup win too much. Andre Schurrle pulls a goal back but this is Argentina's night.

    "England coach Roy Hodgson probably thought I'll get two or three goals and then take one or two off at half-time. I can see striker Rickie Lambert on to nick a goal."

    "They've not been able to rebuild confidence. Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling are at the heart of good things. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has tried some bright things as has Jack Wilshere. It looks to me Wayne Rooney is trying too hard - everything he is doing is at 100mph."
