Didn't deserve to win that one. Still in our hands though, so I'm not going to lose any sleep.

If only Ash performed like that for Villa, better runs, make defenders miss etc. Ah well Fergie will be happy

England are truly awful. Lack pace, any sign of urgency (apart from hopeless long balls), skill, talent you could go on and on. Added to which we must have the worst defense of any supposedly top international team.

Really glad I could turn over and watch a proper cricket team in action.....oh

ITV shite.

Performance poor.

Not playing Bobby Z.......... a mistake, he'd have taken one of those chances and done more with link up play IMHO.

Awful.

Playing long ball to one man up font who can't even control the ball.

Oh this tapatalk thing is a huge improvement. Does not seem to like photos though. Poor result against a very average Swiss team

So ...who of you based on today is confident england will win the euros?

They'll be some goons who come on here and have some bizarre reasoning as to why England might do well.

Fabio on why England lost: 'We've had a long season'

Funny that, only yesterday he was saying how fresh his players were and that they'd all had a decent break since the end of the season bar Rio.

When did the Swiss season start and end?

From a neutral point of view, I thought Switzerland were pretty good, played nice organised football, clearly had a tactic to shoot on sight, and if it wasn't for that dodgy #20 centre back probably would have won. England missed some good chances but it doesn't hide the fact that another team knocked the ball about for long periods.

Genius. The world has moved on my friend.

The object of the game was to win and Bent didnt look like he would score even with an open goal. I suggested that before they brought on the other Villa clown Downing, had we had Crouch in the middle for the last 10-15 mins and provided long balls from the wings that he would win and either aim to the goal or knock down for Ashley Young. Bent would and didnt do either.
