Euro 2016: England v Russia, Sat 11th June, 8pm

[Voley]

About time to hear the magnificence of John Barnes rapping I think.

 

[Maltin]

Oh, good...

Think positive, we haven't lost our first game in the European Championships for 12 years.

 

[pocketscience]

What would actually be considered a good match for England? Win and looking like they earned it rather than stumbled to it?

look comfortable as a team. play a fast premiership type game, fast breaks, solid defence (this one i fear will let me down), don't concede

0-0 written all over it

 

[pocketscience]

Rooney's starting in midfield

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

 

[sealion]

Cahill to score and England to win.

 

[Dandred]

COME ON RUSSIA!

 

[Lord Camomile]

I quite like the Gaudi-esque stadium

 

[Ponyutd]

Same old same old I'm afraid. It kills the tournament for me. Horrible nasty fuckers, awful scenes.

 

[chilango]

I miss the USSR

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fucking hell, we're not whistling and booing over their anthem, are we?

 

[Voley]

I've got ten quid on us to win 2-0.

It's coming home.

 

[Dandred]

Fucking hell, we're not whistling and booing over their anthem, are we?

Yes, you are! Pure class....

 

[Skyfallsz]

England 2-0

 

[sealion]

Strong bench for England if a goal is needed.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Hate the countdown to k/o bollocks.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh god, why haven't we scored yet? Why are there so many Russians on the pitch? Are we sure this pitch is safe?

ARRRGGGHH!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Very well done from Walker.

Why the fuck is Kane still taking corners??

 

[Lord Camomile]

Walker seems to be having a positive time of it in the final third, gone past their defenders few times.

 

[pocketscience]

Positive start. Going for it and creating chances.

 

[Voley]

Pretty promising start.

 

[campanula]

Bizarre socks. have been ordered to watch as sweetheart is too ill with massive abscess...although what good my watching will do I fail to grasp.

 

[Voley]

Walker seems to be having a positive time of it in the final third, gone past their defenders few times.

Yeah he looks lively. Lallana looking good too.

 

[goldenecitrone]

Would be good if we could make some of these chances count.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Would be good if we could make some of these chances count.

That is the general idea of football, yes

You're right though, positive play but some clearer chances (and taking of them) would be nice.

 

[campanula]

oooh some cute sweaty Russians

 

[Lord Camomile]

Still not looking like a fluid unit, in either half of the pitch.

 

[planetgeli]

Looks set up for some Lallana magic or a horrific Smalling/Hart combo OG.

 

[campanula]

should have had more target practice

 

[Flanflinger]

Lallana looking good.
