England v Slovakia

[The Octagon]

So far dominated possession but no cutting edge.

Fingers crossed for a breakthrough in the second half.

You'd better hope that England are quicker off the mark than this thread!

What kind of person both sings "God save the Queen" loudly yet also gets the last line of the fucking thing wrong? I haven't sung it since I was a nipper but I know the proper words ffs

 

[Treacle Toes]

Men in shorts, crowd chant, then boo...there's a ball, here, there and now over there, yonder. One man spits, most sweat, another feigns injury...here comes the man in black, fumbles in pockets playing with coloured cards...whistles, boos, cheers... sometimes the ball gets trapped in one of two nets...much joy. No Mexican waves.

Under the cosh?

Having a laugh surely, we've bossed this game even with our b-team, just no finishing touch thus far.

Goal coming, definitely

Spain will rip a new arse out of our defence.
Smalling and Cahill have hardly had anything to do, but when they have, they've done it very worryingly

Seems there are 2 threads going. England @ Euro 2016

England are too slow. Dier has the right idea with his passing but it's not good enough this.

 

[The Octagon]

Fair play to Wales, they're finishing their chances, we could do with that.

 

[dessiato]

I can't see England winning unless they up the finishing. They won't win playing like this.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Dier is our best player, ironically enough

Stadium announcer just announced Kane as Harry!

 

[Steel Icarus]

England these days play better against better teams who try and attack, but don't seem to have a clue how to break teams like this down. So I guess finishing second might be better

No she didn't, they give the first name and leave it for the fans to shout the surname.

Us English arent very good at that sadly, we should leave it more to the Southern Europeans.

 

[Steel Icarus]

The German fans are awesome at it.

 

[moomoo]

Did we win yet?

 

[han]

No. Dullsville.

And there's your problem. Ridiculous selection from Woy.

 

[big eejit]

Pretty artless stuff from England there. Just lined up to take no hope shots into a wall of Slovakian defenders.

Not a well balanced team.

 

[sealion]

So who do England play on Monday? Germany or Poland would both be tough if i have it right.

I don't disagree tbh

He is an old fashioned boring manager.They played not to lose which will never be a spectacle.

I think they played to win but they just didn't have a clue how to do it.

England play Hungary, Iceland, Portugal or Austria on Monday.
