That though, was lovely by Tommy.

I predict 6-0.
Look at the movement and passing. Electric. England are absolutely fuck all like Germany or any of the other big teams. There's none of that. This lot would have destroyed Wales, Russia and Slovakia.
And Hungary, who will see England off.
How is Mario Gomez only 30?
Missed a goal cos it was muted while I watched some beheadings.
I'm a twit
Didn't Slovakia beat Germany in the run up to this?Originally Posted by Magic
England too, not too far back . . .
And Georgia beat Spain in a recent friendly.
Conclusion: don't rely on friendlies for ideas on how competitive games will turn out
Germany haven't been very good until today.
Linesman is a pussy, run it off lad.
You need a massive goalfest to do that
.....
Lennon is seething at Lehmann calling N Ireland uneducated and poorly trained.
How did Lewandowski miss that sitter circa 5 mins in?
I'm a twit
Because I have money on him to score.
See also, Thomas Muller.
How on earth has Götze not scored today?
Who on earth is commentating on the NI game for Radio 5? It sounds like they've dragged the first two people they could find off the street and thrown them into the studio.
Will Grigg needs to come on.
So if I'm getting this correctly, if Poland score another and Germany don't, the tie-breaking criteria that applies is "Fair play conduct (1 point for a single yellow card, 3 points for a red card as a consequence of two yellow cards, 3 points for a direct red card)".
If NI do a Russia.
What?
Bullshit that BBC haven't showed the goal.
What?
They drew 0-0 when they played and will have had identical results against the other two in the group, so nothing to split them.
Lol at through balls for Lafferty.
So a draw or a tight Turkey win will see NI through.
Turkey won't win, they've been god awful.
This is the most boring group stage ever.
This^
I'll take that every day of the week.
We might have a knock-out game.
There is some sort of Anti-goalscoring curse on this tournament.
It's the format. Slovakia had four points last night, so there was zero incentive for them to push it against the English. It's harder not to go through from the group stage, which leads to shit football because nobody has to "throw the kitchen sink" etc.
It's that for sure. But even so, there seems to have also been an extraordinary amount of really bad misses as well. Is the ball very light or something?
Still not as bored by this as the 2010 World Cup, but fucking hell.
EDIT: Fewer group stage goals per game though by the look of it.
Croatian police have warned of a potential attack on the referee after 30 mins.
Lol.
They should've thrown in an extra point if you win by two goals.
Don't think I've ever experienced a tournament with so much random shite going on both on the pitch / stadiums and on the side. Terror threats, about every football firm / gang from Europe about just to cause trouble, people slipping in every single game, threats of storming the pitch, crackers or what they are called thrown on the pitch, match paused because of hailstorm or something...
Basically anything and everything except actual good football.
Spain look like they want to score goals again. Good.
'mon then, looking better
If that had dipped in that would have been lovely.
Looking at the groups, I'd say Northern Ireland are safe. Sweden and the Irish probably aren't winning their games and they've got a better GD than Albania and, even if they did, Turkey's GD is worse than theirs.
No way in hell are Sweden winning their game, so don't anybody worry about that.
That Croatian fullback is a bit of a disaster.
David Silva is bang on it here.
So all that remains is for the Czech's to peg Turkey back and Albania can start the party.
Czech Republic letting us all down.
I have X in both games and Rakitic in my fantasy team.Oh, and Brozovic.
Turkey need to win by 2 to surpass Albania anyway.
Plan C, then. Hungary beat Portugal whilst Iceland draw with Austria.
All this mathmatics you have to do in order to figure out who is going through is embarrassing.
