England keeper Joe Hart has been doing his homework ahead of the meeting with Uruguay on Thursday evening. "Dave Watson, the goalkeeping coach, studies the tapes of Uruguay and we are well aware of their strikers and their pattern of finishing," Hart told the FA.com.

"We had a lot of sharp shots around the box in training, but we specify short, sharp shots as they have got a lot of boys who get it out of their feet and bang it."
