Euro 2016

I honestly believe that Hodgson was listening to the BBC pundits at half time, Shearer was paticularly scathing of Sterling, still can’t quite believe he took Kane off though!

Bet your bottom dollar that Sterling will start against Solvakia.

Hopefully Rose will get dropped for Bertrand too. Did suggest to a Tottenham friend that Rose and Sterling should come off for Vardy and Bertrand.

Edit: You say Slovakia I say Croatia :blush:

On reflection there were a lot of England players missing in action yesterday - where were Dier, Rose, even Rooney, and where the fuck was Joe Hart?

I thought Milner had his best game for a while.

I need more context than this Raleighchopper - relative to what? his usual standard*? Messi? or a fucking bus shelter?

* see bus shelter

I just thought the way he sat and looked at Rashford as he went on was unusually efficient.

Yes, after the game we sat and thought about who man of the match would be and struggled so I suggested Lallana, even though he hadn’t made it to the end. There were a lot of decent performances, but none were great. You could say that’s a good sign… That we won whilst not being great. Id be surprised if Sterling starts the next game, he’s been the standout shittest player in both games and surely that can’t be disputed, even by Roy. Problem is, there’s not really a natural replacement for him (is there?)

Ashamed to say that that was the first time I’ve ever properly watched Rashford yesterday. He will be an exceptional player if he keeps this up. Looked very comfortable on the ball and has a lot of great ideas. Shame not all his teamates were on the same wavelength. I’d suggest he started but I suspect I’m wrong

Well I suppose you could have Bertrand and Rose both on the left wing, I suspect that Bertrand is better going forward than Rose (and a better defender). They’d be able to cover each other if one is bombing forward.

Neither of them would lose the ball as much as Sterling I suspect.

He looks a cracking prospect, shame Jose has gone to Utd really.

Zlatan on the way and JM’s record with playing youngsters, how much time is Rashford likely to get? Really hope his development doesn’t stall.

As a serial abuser of officials when they mess up, and they do - I have to say fair play to the linesman yesterday.

While I delayed my celebration because Vardy was so clearly offside, flagboy had spotted the defensive header - top linesmanship!

Because I’m lazy and a bit thick, can someone please lay out the routes to the last 16/8/4 England could follow interms of who’d they play and where?

I know if they win their group it’s Paris next Saturday and runner up would be Nice a week on Monday but against who I’ve no clue and after that no clue.

I’d like to nip over with the lad before my treatment kicks in.

Sweden/Italy 0 - 0 at half time. Neither setting the world on fire. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Ibrahimovic misses a sitter, doesn’t matter as he would have been offside anyway. No shots on target so far for the Swedish in the whole tournament.

I would so laugh if Ibrahimovic did go to Man U next season, if he can’t cut it in the Euros he’ll nevert cut it in the PL.

Eder with a cracking strike in the 87th minute, Italy 1 - Sweden 0

Italy just trying to run the clock down.

Buffon just got a yellow card for taking the piss.

I did a Predictor before the tournament, but we never made it out the group :lou_sad: If we did I think it would’ve been Romania in Round of 16, Ireland or Portugal or Sweden in Quarter Final, Spain in Semi, and Germany or France in Final. If that helps (prob not)

What treatment bro? Sry. Nosy.

11 goals in the last 5 minutes of matches so far in the tournament (19 games)
