Euro's

So, hangover is clearing. 4 pint jugs for a tenner mean my head was a little cloudy this morning. What a great game, when we scored the 3rd (what a goal by the way) all semblance of civilisation in the pub disappeared, every single pint glass was thrown skyward and everyone got a beer shower.

Interesting that there were some German chants, but really chuffed with the result. The dilemma now is who gets dropped for Rooney!

we went 1-0 up and sat back while Sweeden were there for the taking defensively we were poor (not just the defence but the team as a whole).

I thought England were bloody terrible, if they play like that against any half good team they'll get taken to pieces.

The 1 & only point in the game they looked like they knew what to do with that round thing was the move that ended with Welbecks goal.

Another performance like that & they could easily lose against Ukraine & that'll be the end of the tourney.

Poland and Russia are out, bit of a shock that one!

Phew, we really do like doing things the hard way.

Hats off to Hodgson for sending Walcott on - he saw that a change was needed and it worked, fair play.

We still have a tendancy to score and then sit back deep. Its a bad habit to have - we have to work harder to keep possession. How we are crying out for a Scholes/Wilshere in the middle of the park.

Caroll is pants. Once the Swedes got used to his height he offered nothing. Wellbeck should get the nod ahead of him for his movement and finishing, with Rooney playing in the hole behind.

I have a feeling we'll draw with the Ukraine and scrape through into the quarters.

Very good tactics by RH. I like him, he's a cultured, well educated man.
I don't see Carrol as pants; He's a big fella, something Eng lack up front since Lurch got dropped. He can be dangerous to defences and girlfriends alike (scummy thug that he is).
But I do agree Wellbeck should start.
Scholes is needed, but I'm afraid he's put his career ahead of country, and I applaud that, being a Reds fan.
With Shrek back v Ukraine, I see an England win by 2 goals.

When Ghosty said Holland and italy (or something) were out of the euro I thought he meant they had withdrawn from the European union and renounced the euro! XD

All this Euro zone crisis stuff is getting to me

Is it me or are they over hyping Rooney?! Hope he scores and all that but he ain't god like f&*^& sake! :ranting2:

we're not playing well tonight so far

Sithvid · June 19, 2012, 08:39:43 PM

The result is the most important thing but it is frustrating passing the ball backwards all the time

England played really well tonight nothing speical, Got the job done & didnt buckle under pressure FIFA Get your finger out and use video tech.....it is 2012.

Lampard - over the line, goal disallowed, England out of the World cup. Sepp Blatter "nothing to see here, don't worry about it"
Terry - over the line, goal not seen, England benefit. Sepp Blatter "We definitely need goal line tech"

What a cock.

I don't understand why football at least at the premiership level does not encorporate goal line review. I guess it's painfully obvious when a goal is scored but in this case is turned the tide of the game and it could have made a huge difference.

The NHL has had the option for the the on-ice official to go "upstairs" whenever they felt they were not in a position to see the puck clear enough to make the call. It provides the consistancy required and avoids the English moaning that after all these years they've finally been vindicated.. *yawn*
