1 very disturbing fact :(

Kane did not touch the ball once in the Russia penalty area - he had three shots, all from outside the box - one was blocked and the other two were off target

The English are girls! They don't know how to fight' funny statement I saw online about the attacks on our fans by the Russian hooligans. Seems they are proud of beating up ordinary football fans who have no intention of violence from the vids I've been watching -

Hey guys you want to have a good laugh, 'Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey say no England players would get into Wales' side as duo step up mind games ahead of the Euro 2016 clash. I can't wait until Thursday there's just no way we can lose to Wales. -

Looks like both wales and England should qualify for the last 16 which will be a great result for Britain as a whole. I'm pretty sure they'll beat a slow looking Russia but I won't be surprised if we only manage a draw with Slovakia and end up second in the group and getting a tough last 16 fixture -

well well well, looks like what I said actually happened. England failed to beat Slovakia and Wales easily dispatched of the Russians and topped the group. Going into the last 16 it doesn't seem like England will be matched hard though, so we should reach the quarter finals -

England vs Iceland in the last 16 so we should be able to progress. It was a last minute winner from them that secured them a win to face us meaning we avoided facing Portugal which would have been a really tough game at which we could have lost. -

I dunno England vs Portugal would have been a good game, as both are not playing to what they are capable of, more so with England but then again
Game should be interesting on Monday -

England 1-2 Iceland! Yes, that score is the right way around! Yet another laughable and embarrassing England tournament campaign! There can be no doubt now, that England are probably the biggest under achievers in world football! No matter who the coach is, no matter who the players are, they just don't have what it takes to compete against the best....or even above average teams!
Wales have gone further in this tournament than England on merit! They play as a team and seem to give their all for the fans!
It really wouldn't surprise me if the incompetent English blame the EU for this! That would be typical!
Still, every cloud has a silver lining as they say! I bet on over 2.5 goals :) -

It's a fine line between between being unlucky and just not good enough, but the warning signs were there against Russia and Slovakia, as well as the first half of the Wales game.
We had more than enough possession in the tournament, but how many clear-cut chances did we actually create?
Before last night's game Glenn Hoddle was talking about the need for Sterling and Sturridge to keep wide and engage with the full backs, play the overlaps and create some space. Bang on I thought, but it didn't pan out anything like that. How many times did you see Walker and Rose (particularly the latter) pick the ball up just past the halfway line, have no-one available, then get crowded out by two banks of four Icelandic shirts?
And what was Hodgson's answer to this? Just chuck on more strikers! I couldn't believe it when he took Sterling off for Vardy. He'd had a decent game and was our only bit of natural width further up the pitch. Should have been Kane that was sacrificed, then Sturridge could have gone in to the middle, and with Sterling and Vardy either side we might have looked a halfway balanced team.
Thought Rashford looked decent when he came on, probably caused more panic in the last 5 minutes than the rest of the team did in the previous 85.
But really, the 4-3-3 should have been abandoned the moment Welbeck got injured. A 4-4-2 with Milner wide right (he'd at least hold his position and engage the full-back), Sterling on the left, Townsend as back-up. Hang on, the latter wasn't selected, was he? We needed ALL the strikers...
One last thing, how the fuck do you arrive at a major tournament with Harry Kane as your dead-ball man??
Woeful.
