Most valuable fact I got from the Dutch commentary: Theo Walcott writes children's books and has published four already. Had no idea o_O

tbf i thought the first half was good, the second was miserable. i think some combination of welbeck, ox, young, henderson, wilshere, cleverly etc could combine england's first nice passing move in 2014

lol but true
sorry MW but anything I felt towards Macca at the end has been replaced by white-hot loathing of Alexi Lalas being argumentative with Ballack & Martinez when both were criticizing England's tactics

srsly i'd watch the half hour i missed on ITV+1 but i'm not that much of a masochist

Dunno how England can be dissatisfied with that really, but I'd worry about the Ukraine game. Was a bit like a mediocre Premiership game.
Neither team is getting beyond the second round.

Well done woy: organised, but grim and unexciting.

we've got "international" class players who can't trap a ball without it bouncing a yard off them tbf, options was limited

no lie tho, one of the better performances from Gerrard in an England jersey, at least until i fell asleep

by white-hot loathing of Alexi Lalas being
Mind you, I don't mind Macca nor Ballack but my hatred of Lalas borders on irrational. His self-assessment and my assessment of him differ by miles and he never fails to be a smug dick about stuff esp when he's clearly wring or talking out his ass. At least Wynalda's kind of funny.

Anyone not convinced by Zlatan hasn't been paying attention to football outside England for a decade. Oh wait.

In the fall of 2007, Ibrahimović, with the help of Nike, self-funded Zlatan Court in the streets of the city district Rosengård in his hometown Malmö: he provided a playing mat, goalposts, lighting, and a modern fence.
