Group B - England, Russia, Wales, Slovakia

[Furball]

Same as the Russia game this. At this level you cannot afford to be this dominant and not score.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Wales should be about 5-0 ahead at this rate

Ftr I'm not saying Rooney's been rubbish. But he's miles short of what you want from an international centre mid, he slows the tempo down far too much and he plays too many passes that look impressive but don't actually achieve anything in an attacking sense. No coincidence they've played at a faster tempo and been more direct tonight.

Well it must be a coincidence as his replacement has been absolutely horse ****. Did nobody tell Wilshere we were not in white tonight?

 

[Furball]

Who the **** was in Russia's group?

Are you expecting me to defend Wilshere or something? Guy's a dud. Still a better midfielder than Rooney.

He's been the worst of the replacements. Vardy and Sturridge both look more dangerous than Kane and Sterling have. No one wants to shoot early, or from distance though.

I don't get Slaven Bilic's hair. On first glance it looks like he's growing out a hair transplant, however having marvelled at it all season his hairline has always been that far forward. It's just going bald within itself without actually receding.

Great assist by Bale for the 2nd goal.. hadn't seen that side of his game before.

Austria and Sweden

Austria won the group with 26 points lol

No I know you hate him. His showing here has been so far below Rooney's it's not funny

I'm not even a Rooney fan. I was as sceptical as the rest of you going into this tournament. But against Russia, and second half against Wales, he constantly played the right ball. Usually to Walker, our best attacking threat in those two games in my opinion.

Disagree think it's great, people that haven't performed have been dropped. I love Alli, but he and Kane look really tired, a rest not a bad idea at all.

I'd have dropped them but would have played Walker and Rose, as it happens Clyne has been our best player anyway so not missed Walker going forward. Not sure dropping Rooney was a good idea.

Wilshere has been crap. Rooney should be on soon.

 

[MW1304]

Why can't we play Clyne and Walker at right back.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

No one wants to captain Russia.

Omnishambles. What a country.

 

[vogue]

Rooney on then

 

[Tangles]

Keystone cops from Smalling and Hart.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Seriously is it that ****ing difficult to cross the ****ing ball

 

[Cabinet96]

Ramsey is better than Pogba.

 

[vogue]

Wales are doing something right it seems

Wales are doing something right it seems

They're defending against a team of statues, though.

Good thing Bale & Ramsey have the skills to expose them because otherwise it would have been a grim night
