@Little_Lord_Fauntleroy played sigeurson
Hodgson is some hapless buffoon, dropping 6 players and handing the group to Wales. Youâd have fancied Engerlund to do some damage the way the top half opened up, theyâre totally fucked now.
England are there to win it mate, theyâll fear nobody. And it wasnât the managers fault that theye had no luck, best team in the group by some distance.
I take that as a huge compliment, cheers pal
Ah stop. They drew against an abysmal Russian team, fluked a last minute win against Wales and let their arrogance take over as they dropped a number of starters and drew 0-0 against an average Slovakia team.
Ya, itâs a funny old game
Iâve been quite impressed, think theyâll improve as well.
You strike me as the kind of lad who only watches the Premier League and thinks that itâs the best league in the world
The changes didnât really cost them one way or the other. They fairly owned the ball for most of it, they just donât have a player to unlock a well-organised defence no matter who they put out.
The 24 team format is a shambles. Albania have just found out two days after playing their last game that they donât have to hang around France any longer, they can go home, they wonât be playing another game.
A decent attack will destroy them.
ok
we have
Macgovern
Mcginn
Mick O Neill
Paddy Maccourt - altho not in squad as he is shit and his wife has a brain tumour i believe so we wish him all the very best and hope they get thru this.
Conor Maclaughlin?
sign in there @Nembo_Kid and do the honors will you please
castle catholics i belive you refer to them as
yer man Baird is a Taig, sure they fire bombed his house after a match once.
If I was an Albanian Iâd have been happier hanging around France for an extra day or two as well.
Thereâs a bit of truth in that, life is too short to be watching football from all over the world.
But I see myself as an impartial football observer, Iâve watched almost all of the Euro games and I have no bias towards or against any team.
But it doesnât take a genius to realise that England have been the best team in their group.
Wales topped their group, how the fuck can you call them the best in their group when they couldnât top it ffs. They are shit, simples. There isnât one player on their roster who would entice any of the decent European teams to sign them. Bale is the only domestic player worth a shit in a European context.
Anglophile scutter from you mate.
Ah câmere. donât be so silly. I know full well how the group panned out, I shouldnât need to explain because I know youâre a clever boy.
Youâve been biggin up England since the tournament began. I understand you are getting nervous now for obvious reasons I.e. they are shit. They will be gone first decent team they meet just like every tournament since 1970.
In fairness mate, it wasnât exactly the Group of Death or anything. Have you watched England? They are pure muck.
Have I been âbigging them upâ? I honestly didnât realise, I figured they were a mediocre team in what was going to be a mediocre tournament. The teams that could have hit form like France, Germany and Spain have been shit, Belgium are still my favourites but theyâve a bit of work to do.
England have played quite well @Fitzy in my opinion, theâve been a little unlucky not to score more often but theyâve nothing to fear from any of the teams in this competition.
Iâm only expressing an opinion here, itâs not fact, and itâs based on my watching of the games.
