The only change is that Sturridge is starting in place of Sordell.

A win is key for GB as South Korea would be a less difficult prospect than the well organized Mexicans, who have yet to concede a goal in this tourney
Scott Sinclair shoots straight at the keeper after failing to properly connect on a cross from Bellamy.
Actually , two other changes. Ryan Bertrand starts in place of James Thompkins and Scott Sinclair in place of Giggs.I guess psycho wants to rest Giggs , so that he does not get burned out this tournament,.
Uruguay is still in it , but they must win in order to advance.Not easy for GB as a win doesn't guarentee top spot in the group because Senegal would win the group if they win by a larger margin than GB.

I had to bugger off and Sturridge scored on the stroke of halftime as he cut in front of the keeper to stick it home from close range after a great run and pass from Joe Allen.The second half has kicked off and Scott Sinclair had a shot from close range come off the post, but he was flagged offside.
Senegal have tied it up vs the UAE. As things stand, GB lead the group, but it would be helpful for GB to increase their lead.
