Euro 2016 - Group Stage thread

Skrtel is a dopey cunt

Wales fluked that, they were played off the pitch and scores from two scuffed efforts.

Hamsik was brilliant.

Whoā€™s on co commentary duty on tv3 for the England match

Kenny Cunningham.

Keith Andrews is one fucking twat.

Iā€™ve been dipping in and out due to other commitments but from what Iā€™ve seen England are looking very good

Sounds very like Kenny.

They will be hard to score against but wonā€™t score enough under Hodgson and will go out in a penalty shoot out

The other way around if anything. Theyā€™ll be undone by their centre half pairing

Iā€™d be more worried about the lads either side of Smalling and Cahill being defensively found out.

Think those two lads are decent enough.

Iā€™d be very content with the English back 4, all are decent defenders, the full backs maybe a bit ambitious at times, all 4 are decent in the opposition half.

If you look at the top teams in the tournamentā€¦who has a great back 4.

Iā€™d struggle to find oneā€¦the Italians fair enough, the Spanish at an extreme push but thatā€™s it.

You would think England were 5-0 up the way some are talking here. This is a shit England team, the fact Rooney is the only one who can pass the ball or look like scoring tells you everything. Kane is way too slow for this level and Woy is absolutely clueless. Bring on Vardy ffs at least heā€™s a threat.

Its very very hard to be a really consistent defender these days, the wabker little diving fucks are extremely protected. Hard for defenders to dominate their position like in the past.

Thatā€™s a fair pointā€¦

Atletico Madrid would be the only obvious example to counter that.

Is Rooney starting to go bald again?

Ya fair point, plenty protection too though. But i agree. Godin is old school, love him.

You have to be cunning like Chiellini or Godin.

Is Woy going to wait for England to concede a goal before making a change?

Rare enough a manager would make a move before 60 in a game that his team is generally in control of, good few minutes from Russia though.
