Indeed

Not sure why anyone would be concerned if coverage goes to Sky. Much better than either BBC/ITV
And no Robbie Savage

only viewable to people sat in bars and subscription payers, no thsnks

And really not that good either

Oh dear

[harry]

We have the worst goalkeeper in the tournament

Add to that one of the worst dives

[Sutekh]

Anyone able to recall the last time ITV televised England winning a game at a finals tournament ?

[Ascotexgunner]

That'd be the game you were you did pretty much fcuk all and scraped a free-kick in

That's the one. Where we had 2 shots on target and England had a massive 4 and a beautiful assist from Williams for Vardy to bundle in an equaliser.

Wah wah wah.

If it wasn't for Hart palming the ball into the net we would have kept a clean sheet,

According to the BBC it's actually 5 vs 2, and 20 vs 8 when you include off target shots. Plus 70% possession. Get over it. England dominated the arse out of Wales who offered virtually nothing all game.

And if your defenders aren't good enough to avoid giving the opposition assists or unsighting your goalkeeper so he can't save, that's a bit of a team deficiency.

You were saying

England losing to Iceland at HT changes none of that chap.

Anyway.

England look like they turned up thinking they didn't have to worry about defending at all. Get the early goal and think they're in easy win territory. Iceland score immediately, England don't learn and just stand and watch Iceland play through them allowing Hart to palm yet another shot he should save into his own net. And from then on, England look idealess and slow everything down to a crawl once more.

If Iceland win this, and the way England are playing they absolutely should, then fair oxf*rd to them. They've done a proper number on us and we've let them. If England manage to sneak a win, France are going to oxf*rd every single one of the huge numbers of holes in that defence and watch Hart flail ineffectually whilst they shoot all over him.

[Sutekh]

Slow, ponderous and predictable bollox. No tempo. Passing in the final third is absolutely abysmal. Still no width and therefore very little attempt to get behind the defence. Clueless tactics. I'd rather have Rashford on the pitch than useless Sterling.

FFS there are fans out there in the crowd that have spent thousands following them all over Europe and what do they get YET AGAIN at a finals tournament? Another load of utterly embarrassing ****

This team and management should hang their heads in absolute shame.

[Stranded]

England tactics again seem to be walk, walk, walk, lose ball.

Jog,jog,jog lose ball.

Pass, pass, pass, bored now, shoot, miss.

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Huff and puff, no movement off the ball, no end product.....its like our season never ended!

I just don't get Hodgson. Its not a bad squad but his selections are just pants.
I expect us to get tonked at the weekend. Belgium have look like they have found form. Though Vermarlan being out is a plus.

[tidus_mi2]

France must be laughing this up, England should win this, if they do France will smash us and they'll definitely smash Iceland.

[Ian Royal]

I thought Hodgson has done a lot right, exactly up until the first pre-tournament friendly, and then he's suddenly become senile.

[Sutekh]

Cheer up everyone, looks like Wilshire will be on the pitch after half time For Dier

[AthleticoSpizz]

Daughter just got in from boot camp....car emblazoned with England flags, saying people were laughing at her

[AthleticoSpizz]

I thought Hodgson has done a lot right, exactly up until the first pre-tournament friendly, and then he's suddenly become senile.

......and he got to vote

[bcubed]

I think there is something in the Englsih psyche that causes us to freeze in big games
That and the defence is shit

[John Madejski's Wallet]

I expect that Icelandic twitter thing is going into comedy meltdown. What was the handle again?

[Ascotexgunner]

I thought Hodgson has done a lot right, exactly up until the first pre-tournament friendly, and then he's suddenly become senile.

That's just it though England looked so good in the qualifiers and in the friendlies and then he starts p+sing about with the squad once the tournament starts.

[Sutekh]

There is no invention in this team. All they do is pass it about sideways not getting anywhere (because they don't appear to have heard of one touch pass and move football) before lamping something vaguely in the direction of the goal in the vain hope of something happening.

Whatever happened to the English style of play with some height and physical presence and a little bit of pace - might be pretty basic at times but at least you'd be sure 100% effort would be given unlike the "can't be arsed" waiting about for the clueless idiot of a manager to get lucky with some random substitution.

[bcubed]

Is there any point watching the rest of this?

Huff puff huff puff blocked shot over the bar near miss full time embarrassed Welsh gloating good night

[Ascotexgunner]

Seriously, why would you pick Sterling again. How many times at this level should you pick a player who clearly appears out of his depth and out of form before you drop him.
