Euro 2016 - hype, anticipation and general excitement

I have no problem with Sterling but he is the apotheosis of a culture that tolerates aaron lennon and theo walcott as professional athletes that have any business on a football pitch.

Please please please let barca believe the kyle walker hype. Useless at everything but running between areas where he is useless

Could another defeat for Europe's elites be on the cards here?

Likely not.

But this mismash of spurs players without spurs centre halves or inside forwards is a failed experiment.

can't believe they said "rooney urging his players to move the ball more quickly" without bursting into laughter or breaking down in tears

Rooneys not even fat now

Not even fat

Idiots commentating on 5 live were arguing about what counts as 'a youth'.

iit is actually hilarious to watch rooney getting on the ball deep, then doing some urgent-looking work on it, dribbling a bit, putting his foot on top of the ball, before passing it laterally to kyle walker.

"If he does not turn this around, talk abut the sword of Damocles - he'll be falling on that sword."

ITV panel did not just ask "does he drop Joe Hart for the quarter final?"

like I just saw claimed

did they?

ahaha xp

Just stop showing England games on ITV

PLEASE!

"Should Hodgson drop Hart for the Quarter Final?" seems a somewhat presumptuous question

hence my amused disbelief

how hard did tyldsley have to work to create the voice he has? he sounds like he's got the back of his throat clenched as tightly as possible.

"He's made amends with that save there"

Errrrrrrrr, nah.

Hodgson set to be the third manager in three years to lose his job thanks to blind loyalty to Wayne Rooney

seriously, what does he have on these people?

Front

International Front

Sterling probably the worst player i remember in an England shirt

rooney to centre mid and his own petulant justifications of it are some of the most wild falsehoods in football for years. like "rooney must play because he's rooney, so if rooney is no longer rooney due to losing his ability, then we must change what rooney is so rooney still plays"

it's bizarre

surely Mourinho doesn't fall for it though

Rooney must come off, he's dreadful here

Thats a real immobile cock vs irresistable force

how many times have england hit a pass to one of the full backs that's too long and goes out over the line? endless.

good on that ref for deciding that Rooney on the ball 30 yards out is no kind of advantage at all

lol

Horribly, I still expect England to win this.

Laughably bad free kick from Kane

felt no cognitive dissonance in laughing at Kane's hopelessness there

transition from complacency of "ok what day are we playing France in the QF" to tetchiness of "ok this isn't going quite how we'd planned" to "DON'T PANIC CAPTAIN MAINWARING WE MIGHT GET A GOAL HERE IF WE'RE LUCKY" is reminding me of something tho i can't think what

odds on Vardy getting a single touch before the final whistle?

Roonaaay, Roonaaay

england get the ball

iceland taketh it away

why are england so sluggish? they look completely jaded.

Cant possibly see Iceland holding on, but Ingerland are dire

odds on Vardy getting a single touch before the final whistle?

And scoring? On the cards I'd say.

"its not working out for Rooney at this moment in time"

iceland give the ball

iceland taketh it away

That was a pen obv btw

Im laughing like wario at rooney

bad touch

the hell is rooney doin out there

straight up cackling aloud at rooney

I can definitely see them holding on. England aren't doing anything threatening. It's looking more and more like the end of the game against Slovakia.

rooney has been struck on the head by thor

can't blame our Wayne tbf, he has never pretended to be anything other than what he is. not his fault the England manager is a coward

This is the pits from England.

Rooney gonna win an oscar for true grit yet

that was England fans booing their own team just then right

What's Vardy's position even supposed to be? Organisation gone completely.

nah there are a bunch of iceland fans at that end of the field
