:12:17. > :12:22.Manchester United winning it 2-1, but Evra's gleeful celebrations
:12:22. > :12:27.prompted another fracas. Luis Suarez tweeted he was disappointed
:12:27. > :12:31.because in his words "everything is not that it seems." By then he
:12:31. > :12:37.incensed Manchester United. They should get it on. The history

:14:51. > :14:57.but the game took quite a lot longer to heat up. The first 25

:15:05. > :15:15.scoring with two penalty kicks to give England a flimsy lead.
:15:15. > :15:21.
:15:21. > :15:28.That scrappiness lead to this try. Two minutes later, Italy hit again.
