Group B - England, Russia, Wales, Slovakia

[vogue]

Good shot from Rooney

 

[Compton]

Vardy for Sterling and swap with Lallana. He wouldn't necessarily need to be wide given how far forward Walker gets.

Wouldn't be against it.

His pace will cause trouble, especially 70 mins in to a game Russia have been chasing, and far more likely to score that "one chance" than Sterling.

This is beyond frustrating. Kane's looked really sluggish this half, barely had a presence. The trouble is he's the only one of our front three who can score a goal.

Edit: Well that'll do it.

 

[vogue]

Yessss

 

[Compton]

Yeeeeesss

That's an excellent finish.

 

[cpr]

What. A. Strike.

About ****ing time.

 

[vogue]

Great goal

 

[Furball]

Fully deserved.

 

[grecian]

Yesssss, and deserved.

but did Tyldesley just do a tasteless Hillsborough reference?

 

[Tangles]

The replay makes the keeper look very bad there. Bad positioning and wasn't that far away. Nice strike though.

 

[Howe_zat]

Still don't trust Dier. Too pretty

 

[cpr]

Time for Sturridge/Vardy to run the Russian defence and not allow them time to build from the back.

 

[Compton]

Yesssss, and deserved.

but did Tyldesley just do a tasteless Hillsborough reference?

I don't think he meant it, but yeah he did

 

[cpr]

Yesssss, and deserved.

but did Tyldesley just do a tasteless Hillsborough reference?

Pretty much, yeah

 

[Pothas]

Vardy for Kane now.

 

[Furball]

There's actuallu something quite likeable about this England side, which is surprising considering a) it's Englamd and b) there's 5 Spurs players and Rooney in the side.

I've liked Rooney a lot in this match, there's a silky insouciance about him, it's been fun watching him for the first time in about 8 years.

 

[Compton]

Kane's set plays are absolute garbage.

 

[Niall]

Yesssss, and deserved.

but did Tyldesley just do a tasteless Hillsborough reference?

Yeah absolutely dire.

Not great from the keeper, but good free kick.

England look pretty good here, Russia absolute also rans though.

 

[grecian]

Kane's set plays are absolute garbage.

Couldn't agree more, it's the one wrong note we have, one presumes he's incredible in training.
