June 11, 201610 yr Couldn't see a thread for this unless i'm blind. Terrace Talk one involves too much mether. Hopefully the gay sheep shaggers lose although we're off to a poor start on that front
June 15, 201610 yr Weiss scores, a draw or secondly a Slovakia win is best for England, as long as Russia don't win. Edited June 15, 201610 yr by Didledee
June 15, 201610 yr Russia really aren't very good. How did we not beat them? We played the last 20 minutes with one striker who was knackered and a 5 man midfield whilst Sturidge,rashford and vardy all sat playing with their willies on the bench.
June 15, 201610 yr His come these Albanian footballers don't look half a shifty as the blokes at the car catering place near the beehive?
June 15, 201610 yr Giroud shows why if arsenal are serious about challenging for the title they need to buy another forward
June 15, 201610 yr If you look back through the comments on this thread, doubt you'd find any team gettin worse abuse than Albania in the first games. They were pants. If France, with their apparent squad depth and home nation advantage can't easily beat em, they are shit!

June 15, 201610 yr My recollection of it was they were like a Sunday team against the Swiss. Might have been based on first 45 though. Fucking winning two nil after all that. England would have lost that. And I had a fiver on 3-0, the frog eating bastards! Edited June 15, 201610 yr by stevieb

England would have lost that. And I had a fiver on 3-0, the frog eating bastards! Yeah Albania had a nervous start to the tournament, but really were good in the second half against the Swiss. There's a high standard being played in this tournament, even among the less fancied teams.
June 15, 201610 yr Aye. In the predictor at work, as it has gone to 24 teams from 16 I have it down that one team would get panned from each group. That hasn't happened. It's been entertaining, apart from in group B.
June 15, 201610 yr It has been entertaining, im not convinced at all about increasing to 24 teams doing much for the actual quality of football but it's great to see some of the fans of these sides just happy to be there. One thing for me though, much was made pre tournament about how poor defences are these days, its the forward play thats been disappointing. Been some terrible finishing.

June 16, 201610 yr I blame the structure, with hardly any teams going out, the poorer teams are playing for a point, a win and a draw, maybe three draws, will see you through.
June 16, 201610 yr I agree The groups are dead rubbers Last 16 is when it will start meaning something, be nice to see some more goals though
June 16, 201610 yr I blame the structure, with hardly any teams going out, the poorer teams are playing for a point, a win and a draw, maybe three draws, will see you through. Given England's slow starts, I'd say it suits us better than most.

One thing for me though, much was made pre tournament about how poor defences are these days, its the forward play thats been disappointing. Been some terrible finishing. One thing that increasing the numbers has done is to virtually eliminate dead rubbers. I agree The groups are dead rubbers Last 16 is when it will start meaning something, be nice to see some more goals though Not for the first time, you are wrong.
