Euro 2016 - hype, anticipation and general excitement

Yeah, I'll be amazed if England don't win that one, 2-0 I reckon.

England kinda deserves to lose for the MAYHEM in MARSEILLE

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.

Oh, seems to be fake. Fuck if I know.

Not fake? Idk

xp
It'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.

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

I'm more amused than angry but there's something morally bankrupt about his place in the starting line up

Shame Rashford isn't starting.

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!

Building an entire foireann around the fuckin rúnaí

Those kits! Hadnae seen them before. Hurting my eyes.

Ah, the thrill when the national anthem starts and I picture her head on a pike

Photoshopped onto the body of an actual pike

which would probably make her look better than the rude lime green getup the senile fucker was wearing today:p

Kane still on corners...

so it wasn't just me who thought that Ramsey sucked ass?

Nah he was dreadful.

Lol that cross field pass by Rooney

Lol waz getting caught in his own half

He learned that from LVG, it's called a "tikkie breed"
xpost

Lol

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

Tbf to England I've seen them go whole tournaments without creating this number of chances

Sterling is a fuxkin coward

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

Lord knows I hate the prick more than anyone, but he hasn't been that bad

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

He just doesn't belong (any more). Think of the possibilities with some decent youngun taking his place.

NN and Windsor otm

best half in a tournament i can remember seeing from an England team

Oh, seems to be fake. Fuck if I know.

iirc those are all from a weird cluster of twitter handles that constantly post made up eyewitness accounts like that

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

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

I expected Russia to be shit but Jesus.

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

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.

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

No problem with Walker and Rose flying forward, manager's job is to structure the team to cover that. Back four looks porous tho.

Sterling has been good in parts, his decision making is a bit suspect for me. Wouldn't change owt at this point.

"it's more a case of there must be somebody better for that position"

Drinkwater for a start, what did he do wrong this season?

Nah, I agree with Matt. Sterling's backheel for Ali's cross was the best move of the game imo.

maintain my position on this, Sterling also bang out of form, whereas Jamie Vardy was so brimming over with confidence by the end of the season that you could see it sloshing about behind his beady little rodent eyes

be pointless playing Vardy in Sterling's position though

Yeah i guess that's true, wouldn't want to change the shape at this point
