Luiz Suarez sinks Englands Hopes: Uruguay 2- 1 England

 Luis Suarez left England on the brink of a World Cup exit as his double strike gave Uruguay victory in Sao Paulo.

Liverpool striker Suarez was making his return after a month out following knee surgery - and it proved to be bad timing for England and manager Roy Hodgson as his brilliance was the difference in a fiercely-fought encounter.

Suarez put Uruguay ahead with a first-half header then scored a superb winner six minutes from time after Wayne Rooney's first goal at a World Cup gave England hope of avoiding a second successive Group D loss.  But defeat means England will be out unless Italy - who overcame England in Manaus - beat Costa Rica on Friday.

Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez claimed Suarez would not be fully fit after missing their opening defeat against Costa Rica but he still possessed too much guile and menace for an England team who never built on the promise they showed even when losing against Italy.

Rooney struck the bar and was England's main threat but Uruguay - or to be more precise Suarez - produced the quality and clinical finishing that decides games such as this.
