Re: Euro 2016 thread
The first real piece of dodgy refereeing, , justice done in the end but the Crotian shout was far more of a pen than the Spain one.

Re: Euro 2016 thread
Adzi, the whole team were poor. I cannot believe that l was watching a FULL INTERNAIONAL of top quality players to wear an England shirt.
When you ply in competitions, you play a MAIN squad, don't keep changing, that why they play friendlies. And Kane was terrible.
You play a settled team, and that's when you get results.
Ian Wright, when he said, WHY changed the Back four. Either Hodgson has lost the plot, or the team are picking themselves.
Just look at Hodgson when the team are playing badly, he just sits on the bench. He shoul be standing in the tech area. Barking out orders.
I can see the next side we meet will demolish us.
Even the main papers in London were saying that we were Second rate. Did you see the look Rooney gave Hodgson, when he came off the pitch. That to me says it all.

I dont disagree with the Slovakia game at all. See my earlier comments regarding Wilshere and Henderson. Both players offered absolutely nothing to the front two players. Id like to think we had depth but its pretty clear the midfield is set in stone from here on in and just can't be changed. We merely underestimated Slovakia's resolve and assumed we could rest a few lads which ultimately cost us the top position. As a whole I think we have a lot more to offer but mistakes can not and will not be rectified from now on. If we mess up we go home.
I think we could hold our own against teams considered better but my worries lie solely on the ability to get that crucial goal and whether Joe Hart can settle himself. Something about Hart has typical England cock up written on it.
Regarding Kane, he's been awful but as I said above there is a but in there. That 'but' being he's the only one to never start with a second striker. Maybe he's just finding himself isolated and again im against one striker line ups.
So with all that being said I'm solely concerned about how long its taking to get settled in. With Rooney, Sturridge and Vardy starting there's going to be no excuse for Hodgson anymore. I disagree with those once again suggesting we write this off and let him build. They said that at the world cup.. To build for this Euros. Its do or die for Roy. Otherwise his heads as good as gone.
There's no standout sides. The big boys either look like us or are playing worse. Spain look like absolute crap at times and crumble every time you push them. Germany are playing a lot like us. Lots of controlling but minimal end product. Portugal were DOA bar some miracle in the last 16. Now we have confirmed one of Italy or Spain won't be going to the last 16. If Spain aren't careful they could find their dodgy defence turned over. Check out their possession vs Croatia against Croatia's shots... Spain are going to be punished further if they continue like that.
I don't really care who wins the Euros to be fair so long as they win it with better football than the stuff that's been shown so far.
Group stages are closing though. All this could mean nothing come the next round if teams get their heads down.

Oh was it, in that case mine was a joke to, as jokes go though I'd like to apologise for the lack of humour in mine, how about you.

Re: Euro 2016 thread
The media hyping up playing Portugal like its a monumental task. They've just conceded 3 to Hungary... They've finished second on 3 points and in fairness bar some Ronaldo magic they've been absolutely awful and about on par with Russia for the worst team in the tournament. The fact they only have three points to show for that group.
Bar Ronaldo, England should be hammering this Portugal side.

Re: Euro 2016 thread
Well Hodgson the incompetent has really made it extremely hard for England now going forward.

Re: Euro 2016 thread
Has to be Rooney behind Sturridge and Vardy. Be done with this 4-3-3 and give Rooney the freedom to conintue roaming about.

They're not, third place remember.
Gives us Iceland now but still I don't think we should be bothered about Portugal.

In Ireland at the moment, safe to say they're pretty happy.

Re: Euro 2016 thread
Two points make. A sore point, from a spoilt little brat in Ronaldo. An reporter upset him, so he threw his microphone into the point. Just because he didn't get his own way in the Portugal game.
Second point and the best point. I hope England were watching a excellent ROI game. It was blood sweat and sweat. All though. Even l jumped up when they scored. Brilliant game for the Irish.
Just wish England had the heart to know how to fight for the ball, and how to score superb goals.
Well done ROI.

Re: Euro 2016 thread
I don't mind frustration responses from players. I like to think it confirms they actually care that either them or their team have been crap rather than answering with a massive grin and a boat load of positives despite being hammered... Example in question, Steve McClaren.
I'd be annoyed if I was Ronaldo, its all on his shoulders, Portugal are pants.
This brings up an earlier point. There truly is no stand out team here. They're all playing like absolute crap at times. I don't think there's a single team without problems.
Back to Portugal and its a case of they're going out with performances like that. 3 goals to Hungary. What more needs said?

Indeed and well done to them , England , Wales and Northern Ireland in reaching the knockout stages which has never happened before as a foursome.
