[Football] The football forum that couldn't be arsed to have an England v Czech official *** :shrug:

[Eeyore]

7 points . Winning without being 100%

Job done

Well done England

But we want more. Not sure what more. But there must be something to MOAN about.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Maybe that was the gameplan all along to qualify and like the better sides know just how to do it and then turn it on when it matters in the knockout games.
Maybe.

 

[redoubtable seagull]

Another efficient, measured performance. Did Pickford have much to do?

The test arrives next Tuesday against better quality opposition.

 

[Weststander]

I’m guessing you’re a glass half full type of person?

I was glass completely empty after Scotland.

Roy Keane is so often the angry miserablist. He’s full of praise for England tonight.

 

[Napper]

Strolled the group with ease . If was any other country be fearing them

It’s coming home

 

[portslade seagull]

Well we won, it was like us giving a 45min performance then huffing and puffing through the next 45

 

[Mackenzie]

Sorry, but will never forgive them for supporting whoever you're playing.

That’s a shame, wouldn’t it be better to be friends?

Gotta start somewhere.




Great result tonight for our lads, keeping fingers crossed for the next game.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

why wouldn't you be when we cruised through top of the group?

Because the football has been utterly dreadful in all 3 games barring 2 spells of 20 minutes or so where we looked useful.

 

[Is it PotG?]

As they said, we won't outplay the big boys.

A pragmatic 1 nil win all the way seems the plan.

If you were Germany, Italy, Belguim or France you'd be fearing us would you?

 

[Sheebo]

Well ?

Embarrassing from us all.

Good result. Good performance. Like Croatia. Not bad. Not average. Good. Not very good. Not spectacular. Weird one.

Don’t think we’re up with Italy / Belgium / France / Germany but I’ll always believe guys.

Good night guys.

 

[Randy McNob]

You're an Alan Partridge fan so you're alright by me, but honestly do you see us winning this tournament?

not at this stage but the criticism is way over the top. We've played 3 games and Pickford hasn't had a meaningful save to make. We weren't exciting to watch but we were very comfortable in every game.

I think we are due a big performance and can go far

 

[Napper]

If you were Germany, Italy, Belguim or France you'd be fearing us would you?

Absolutely . Only played in 3rd gear and more to come

40k Wembley

Enjoy it

Fair enough, it’s a game of opinions. Personally I found that an excruciating watch.

Not a great deal of evidence that Southgate knows how to get beyond 3rd gear though.

Portugal. Greece.

I guarantee even Hungary don't fear us.
See you on Tuesday.

Apart from making the best save of the match? No ....

 

[hart's shirt]

It may not be coming home, but at least England are still playing there for now.

A bit to work on for sure, but no goals conceded in 3 games can't be knocked.

 

[Sheebo]

Is a good point. I worry we still don’t know our best team and the tourno is about to get brutal. I’m usually so positive but can’t see us getting through I’m afraid.
