Euro 2016 Discussion

First topic message reminder :

With so many different nations it'll take so many different threads to put all the news on the site. So, here's this thread.

Kompany to miss Euro 2016

Sterling is utter gash! Needs to be subbed fast

Rooney not just out of the game but looking disinterested when he momentarily pops up. And agreed sterling off now. This half showing why England were only 'good' not great in 1st half..because it had a lot to do with Russia being rubbish.

Andros Townsend > Sterling

Kane and Lallana off please. Sterling isn't playing badly at all, just nothing for him to hit in there

Roy needs to do something in next 5 mins...game is getting away from England and were dropping deeper and deeper. It's why I don't rate the man though...he won't make changes till it's too late and we've lost control of the game.

Absolutely NOBODY in there!! What's the point!

Roy's dithering. England have little energy in the centre of midfield.

Kane has been shocking up there. Think the high press may have killed them.

Vardy, Sturridge and Wilshere are the options

Wow, what a stop.

Great save

My word, what a save.

I worry for Clive Tyldesley's blood pressure when Rooney has a chance.

DIER!!!!!!!!!!!

Great strike.

Soft free kick for that, but a lovely strike.

Eric Dier the unexpected goalscorer.

Nice finish, but twas never a free-kick.

We need vardy on to chase everything up front

Lol...great strike? Erm that was closer to being center of the goal than corner! Crap wall and even worse goalkeeping!

But...hey ho..one nil. Expect the hype to begin

Good performance from deep for Rooney. Even I'm saying that.

Do our players know the offside rules. Time and time again there have been players too f'ing slow to recover from an offside position and we run out of options/ideas and the move breaks down.

Gareth Bale literally hit a free kick straight at the keeper and its pegged as unbelievable so I don't care

But he's so special the keeper was duty bound to get out of the way of it

Well I'm sure you'll be around to p!ss on everybody's cornflakes, Owen

Great support from the majority of England fans, tremendous noise.

Headline tomorrow could be Dier performance

It really is a shame Wilshere can't stay fit, England really don't have another player like him.

Kane beginning to make his mark now, its opening up.

Think England have really benefited from some 50-50 refereeing decisions.

Haven't really noticed it Duty, but was listening to 5 live when I had to dip out at the start of the half and they think hes been spot on.

It's what I'm here for Freek...keep the hype machine under control and restore parity. Been some good points to take from the game and should we hold on 3 points is good result. But let's not get carried away, Russia are nothing special and have been distinctly poor even by their standards. We play like we have in 2nd half against a better team and the game will be well out of reach by time we get a lucky free kick decision.

Where was Kane?

Milner for Lallana I assume?

Sterling's game summed up in a nutshell there.

Kane is horrendous at set pieces...has nobody told him

Theres always one c*** with a flare

Apparently he has one setting; over powered. Looks like he was taking one of his corners....

Goal by Russia.

Lol, typically of England

Predictable as you like.

Trul awful. Roy thought we'd won this with the subs

Wasn't surprised.

That is gutting.

Deserved to win that by 3 or 4.

Well done for settling for a 1-0 Roy, good subs they were mate

We go one up & then make subs to see it out, like Milner. Bloody negative. Emabrrassing

WTF was Joe Hart doing? Definitely going with Dier performance tomorrow

We knew we were rubbish at the back, we should of done far better upfront. 

Typical of the English commentators saying we played well. We didn't, the aim is to score goals

That's what you get Woy when you do Poopie subs!

Game was crying out for vardy all 2nd half - horrible subs by Roy

As predicted, albeit no early lead.

Russia were rubbish, so England will be massively disappointed. If England want to advance, they must be more clinical with the chances they create, if only because they have a diabolical defence.

Next game will be a step up.

Undeserved late goal to concede.

Think Roy is guilty there. He got lucky with the freekick and then made poor subs. No man to run the ball out with Sterling off, not sure Milner touched the ball. Wilshere is defensively unaware and actually poorer deeper than Rooney. Kane ineffective to the point that keeping him on left us with no option to defend up front or the outlet to take the pressure off.

The floor is yours!

Seriously?

Played Russia off the park, denied by a wholly undeserved smash and grab. I'm all for tearing into England when it's meritted, it absolutely isn't today
