    Phil Foden’s hair is somehow worse than Jordan Pickford’s kicking ability.

    It's your fault then. We were all over them for the first 15 minutes.

    Walker is the best defender of the RBs.

    And if you're gonna play Phillips as an 8, why not just play Mount there and bring in Grealish, you mong.

    Scotland could do with England winning here. 2nd is the best position to finish in this group

    I just don't understand Kane's role at all. He offers nothing whatsoever in a press. Why is Bammy not here.

    That kind of miss from Sterling is forgiveable now but do that in the knockout stages and he’ll be public enemy number 1.

    How Pickford is our number one is absolutely bewildering. He's not a very good keeper who you could at least understand getting picked if he fell into the trendy "good with the ball" category, but his distribution is abysmal.

    Great result. Now to beat the Czech’s, lose on Friday and then snatch a draw for 2nd place against Croatia. So simple.

    That was alright.

    I've no idea who we could get in round 2, but we're basically there with that.

    Yeah, I always assumed he got picked for being good on the ball, but he really isn't.

    Pretty tepid from England, but a first ever opening Euro game win against the next best side in the group isn;t to be sniffed at. Every game from now on at 8pm as well so we've even out-foxed the Great British Weather's attempts to fuck us.

    Rashford is absolute shit. I understand the pace thing, but if you're looking to hold out with your 1 goal lead (would England ever doing anything else?) then just stick Grealish on so he can win a foul every time the ball comes near him. As if we'd ever score on the counter late on.

    France/Portugal/Germany if you win the group. Sweden/Slovakia/Poland/Spain (whoever finishes 2nd) if you finish 2nd.

    Probably something to do with the weird hosting which gives all the home nations easier groups (are any of those three playing home games)? It does seem a bit anomalous though.

    Germany are.

    The other home team in the group is Hungary.

    Don't rule out Hungary. I have no idea if they're any good or not, but still scarred by the ENGLAND, ITALY, URUGUAY and Costa Rica debacle.

    Kane seems to be developing a knack for being pretty shit in tournaments, which is quite something given he was top scorer in one of them.

    Yeah, it wasn't happening for him. He had the header that saw him bonk the post and that was it. Not that he tends to get much from open play in tournaments but he usually gets himself in positions for it.

    The worrying thing about Kane is that he’ll never be dropped. If he plays well then great but if he’s shit he’ll play regardless.

    Whatever happens here, I hope we (Austria) at least try to play in a somewhat exciting fashion. Our international games are usually plodding borefests.

    Kanes main problem is neither of his wide men pass to him. They both just shoot, even if he's in a better position. Mount also wasted an easy assist when he chose to win a free kick instead.

    So he drops deep and goes looking for the ball instead... but he's the least capable of the 3 of running with the ball. It's all a bit arse about face.

    Surprised the ref didn't give the goalkeeper a freekick for that though. They usually do in situations like that.

    Quality little finish from Pandev. I reckon an alarmingly large number of players would fuck that up trying to take extra touches. I'm thinking mainly England players here.

    Yes, after seeing it again I also thought they'd usually punish this kind of challenge. Need so see it from more angles though.

    I'm worried our defenders' heads might be gone now.

    Doesn't the defender essentially foul the attacker into the goalkeeper?
