Phil Foden’s hair is somehow worse than Jordan Pickford’s kicking ability.
Too many groups
All those shit teams

Nothing. International tournaments are the best.

First 20 minutes were pretty good tbf. You need to turn it off
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
Phillips has been absolutely fantastic.
Sadly, Phillips is a don.
I just don't understand Kane's role at all. He offers nothing whatsoever in a press. Why is Bammy not here.
Has Sterling ever passed to Kane?
That kind of miss from Sterling is forgiveable now but do that in the knockout stages and he’ll be public enemy number 1.
We're such a good looking nation.
Croatia have been shit.
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.
It's coming home.
Great result. Now to beat the Czech’s, lose on Friday and then snatch a draw for 2nd place against Croatia. So simple.
Well done Ingerlund.

That was alright.
I've no idea who we could get in round 2, but we're basically there with that.
Fucking hell are these questions for real! I'd tell her to fuck off! Jesus wept.
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.
Easy work. That's Croatia done as a footballing nation.
Frank Lampard has been eating his feelings. He'll be going through three shirts a game if this weather holds.
How in sweet buggery did France, Portugal and Germany all end up in one group?
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.
Fuck me, listening to Linekar and Shearer you’d think we’d won the World Cup.
Can we talk about Kane? Looked miles off it.
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.
ITV still preventing their dogshot app from being cast. What a disgrace.
Mon North Macedonia.
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.
It's one game, Kane'll be fine. He's one of the three best strikers in the world.
That Macedonia kit is a rancid effort.
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.
North Macedonia
I guess I did ask for entertainment.
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.
Doesn't the defender essentially foul the attacker into the goalkeeper?
Austria are brutal, get Marko on for that beanpole and stop playing like a Big Sam side.
