England vs Slovenia, 8pm (ITV)

[Steel Icarus]

Can't wait to see a straight swap between defensive midfielders make all the difference.

If that's what Genial Gareth does tonight any hope he might be able to steer us to a tournament win will have gone.

Hard to care. England are definitely through now regardless given the results in the first two groups. This is where the flabby tournament structure is exposed a bit. Slovenia have everything to play for, at least.

4-0 England, you heard it here 1st.

 

[two sheds]

Irony would be if it was 4-0 so Croatia go through and beat us in the final

 

[ska invita]

4-0 England, you heard it here 1st.

I said 4-0 already on the Croatia thread.
And its needs to be 3-0 or more so Hrvatska get JUSTICE.

Come On England!!! Do it for Modric!

 

[tommers]

This is the game when it clicks. Honest. I know I said that last time but really.

Definitely this time

The good news is that England don’t actually need to be any good to win the tournament, they just need to be better than everyone else, and given that everyone else seems to be a bit crap, I’m not going to rule it out just yet.

foolishly agreed to go to a meeting an hour away from home so will be watching it from the comfort of the top deck of the bus

I slept through the entire Denmark game, nodded off about ten/fifteen minutes before and woke up a good hour after it had finished... not sure i'll be so lucky tonight but you never know your luck!

No easy games in international football.

6-0. Bowen to get the lot.

Stop it with the inconvenient facts.

 

[Voley]

Going round me Mums to watch this.

Possible: 3 nil England

More probable: offer of a ham sarnie at halftime.

Gallagher and Kyle should work well together.

So Southgate, with all his wages and experience and smarts is playing

Our third best 2 at 3
Our best 10 at 11
Our best 8 at 10
And our best 11 is on the bench and yet to play this tournament

sweeping changes lads

I’m afraid I grew up in the era of squad numbers and none of that makes any sense to me.

I think I've got all the others figured, but would 6 be sort of yer more defensive-minded central-mid?

6 is what we'd have in central defence. 4 is the holding midfielder
