Group B - England, Russia, Wales, Slovakia

[Pothas]

This is the worst England squad ever.

EDIT *I don't include Graham Taylor's reign*.

Nah, it is better than the one from the last World cup and from Euro 2012.

I know I'm probably in the minority but I think we should be playing 4-2-3-1: Hart; Walker, Smalling, Cahill, Bertrand; Dier, Wilshere: Rooney, Alli, Sterling; Kane.

Based on what I've seen in the 3 games they're probably the form players.

 

[Pothas]

No I would not hate that, Rooney still kind of in the way though.

 

[Pothas]

Maybe Lallana in for Rooney in that side, would mean taking so many strikers seem fairly ridiculous though.

 

[GIMH]

Probably be ridiculed for this but I would go Vardy over Kane

Yeah this isn't the worst, the only part I hate is Rooney on the left wing but Rooney anywhere is pretty dire. At least it's a coherent system.

I don't hate this either although I'd definitely lean towards Kane for his connection with Alli. One thing I don't really understand is why Vardy was the one to be shunted out to the left. If one of them has to be a makeshift winger then I thought Kane was the obvious choice.

Would just have both and no Rooney tbh.

I really don't get Lallana - what does he actually do?

 

[Pothas]

I have never thought he is amazing or anything but he is a very nice footballer and just fits in that side better than Rooney does.

Wouldn't be a major tournament without English fans smashing up bars and throwing chairs all over the place.

Got to wonder what the **** goes on in people's heads.

 

[duffer]

Ramsey's hair is so rude.

Well seeing as they are all brainless not a lot.

 

[vogue]

So Wales..don't dissapoint eh?

 

[duffer]

That would've been insane, unlucky for Hamsik.

 

[Scaly piscine]

That was never a foul. Typical international rules for 'heading' - basically jumping up to head the ball is a foul.

Slovakia player jumped up and headed the ball, Welsh player cowered underneath and fouled him. Not the other way around. If the Welsh player had done it with more force (ie took his legs away) then it would have been very dangerous.

 

[vogue]

Yesssss!!!

Dr Zaius ****

 

[Scaly piscine]

I think the keeper anticipated that it would swerve one way and it went the other. Game on.

My old man would have had the mother of all rants about the haircuts on display here - not convinced that even Bale's goal would have quietened him down
