Half-fit Suarez sinks England with a brace

England are on the brink of elimination after losing to Uruguay 1-2 in their second match of Group D.

Uruguay forward Luis Suarez scored twice while Wayne Rooney grabbed England's only goal in the match.

Meanwhile this is the first time England will lose their first two matches in a world cup campaign.

What this victory means for Uruguay is that hope of reaching the second round has been rekindled as they face Italy in the last Group game, both with 3pts along with Costa Rica while England sit at the bottom.

Earlier, Colombia defeated Ivory Coast 2-1 to go top of group C with six points joining Netherland and Chile as teams to have made it to the next round of the World Cup.
