This is lovely. Pretty much a perfect start too, no yellows for Wales right?

This is gonna make England's lame 0-0 even sweeter for Celts everywhere
Yeahhhh, well, can't say I've ever had too much fellow feeling for the Welsh tbh

I was another 1-1 predictor, had a giddy 20 minutes there where I thought I was gonna be 2 for 2 today.
Fuxk it tho, I'm very pleased for Wales, would love to see them do over Russia and have a run to the quarters
― Windsor Davies, Saturday, 11 June 2016 17:58 (eight years ago) link
So your predictions for Ingerlund? I've a 2-1 win for them tho think it could easily be 3-0. Russia are so useless. But then it is England. Hmmm.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Saturday, 11 June 2016 17:59 (eight years ago) link
I feel like getting behind ROI in this tournament but with Keane involved it almost totally puts me off them. Otherwise in the short term I'm supporting whoever is playing England :P
― calzino, Saturday, 11 June 2016 18:00 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, I'll be amazed if England don't win that one, 2-0 I reckon.

England 0-0, then if he has any human decency Rooney writes a brief note and walks out of the tent and disappears

@Simon_Rowntree I cannot believe what I am seeing. #ENG fans have lifted a disabled black man off his wheelchair and thrown him into the river. Disgusting.@Simon_Rowntree #ENG fans in their thousands, collectively chanting "Refugees fuck off to Pakistan, we're voting to leave the EU". Very distasteful.@JakeJefferies A number of #ENG fans are chanting to French inhabitants, "we know what you are, ISIS terrorists, we know what you are". Absolutely vile.@JakeLynchSports Small group of #ENG fans completely naked chasing women around Marseille city centre. Absolutely repulsive, illegal and embarrassing.@Jamie_Scoines A group of around twenty #ENG fans are outside a mosque in Marseille and throwing packets of bacon and sausages at the entrance. Disgusting.

xpIt's like it was with Owen, once you are in the international club it doesn't matter how mediocre you currently are. Just keep quoting your stats and talking up the importance of international experience and grimacing every time Vardy scores yet again.

(xp) Looks fake to me. Nice combination that though, Ingerland and Russia.

Those tweets may be fake but ive seen enough disgraceful footage of Ingurlish beating the crap out of anything and anyone.

Hoping England win tonight and are saving one of their traditional shit group games for Thursday.
― groovypanda, Saturday, 11 June 2016 18:41 (eight years ago) link
2-1 England tonight, in spite of Rooney. if Hodgson were only prepared to drop Rooney and bring someone in who can run, Henderson or someone, fuckin Milner even. jfc i'm getting angry just thinking about it
― Windsor Davies, Saturday, 11 June 2016 18:42 (eight years ago) link
I'm more amused than angry but there's something morally bankrupt about his place in the starting line up
― The Brexit Club (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 June 2016 18:47 (eight years ago) link

tbf Rooney's transformation into the creaking, wheezing wreck of an athlete that he is today has given me inordinate pleasure over the last few years, can't have your cake and eat it i guess

It was laughable when Man U gave him the security of that mega contract, like as if they were desperately fending off multiple imaginary suitors. it was really funny tho!

Walker and rose great fun going forward but never more than a cunthair away from calamity at the back. Haven't followed ilf too closely the last year or so but I daresay this will have been noted by te Spurs contingent

England playing quite well tbf. I'd put Vardy on for Kane though, he looks knackered

Rooney doing alright here largely because Russia don't seem to have a midfield tonight
Can't remember England ever being so dominant in a tournament game, this is very pleasant
― Windsor Davies, Saturday, 11 June 2016 19:44 (eight years ago) link
He just doesn't belong (any more). Think of the possibilities with some decent youngun taking his place.

Rooney has made a few good passes to cancel out the bloopers, it's more a case of there must be somebody better for that position
― The Brexit Club (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 June 2016 19:47 (eight years ago) link
Rooney, walker and lallana all outstanding. England in danger of running themselves into the ground if they dont get a goal soon. Two Russian centre-backs look pretty solid too

Vardy on for Sterling if anything atm, don't know if Kane is knackered or just dropping deeper, nicely fluid across the front 3/4
― The Brexit Club (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 June 2016 19:51 (eight years ago) link
Sterling has looked good though. Final ball isn't quite there but this is all very promising. Kane taking the corners isn't working AT ALL though.
Rooney's distribution is probably better than Milner or Henderson's so I'm okay with him in that role but two recently converted players in central midfield is probably not going to work against proper opposition.
Watching Alli wriggle away from two Russian defenders was particularly enjoyable though.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 11 June 2016 19:52 (eight years ago) link
xxxpost not too worried about guys getting tired, Vardy, Milner, Henderson, Studge, lots more legs on that bench if people start slowing down(and some half-decent players too!). this is weird guys, I know this Russia side are dogshit but when has that ever made a difference to England before? it shouldn't be this much fun to watch us at tournaments.
not sure i agree w/ Matt about Sterling, i don't like him and i don't think he offers much at all besides the initial burst of pace down the oustide and the little step back in. never seems to do anything incisive, doesn't know what to do with the ball when he actually has a choice to make
