Three points, clean sheet. Bosh.
Definitely! All hail Sir Waistcoat.
England have a good chance of winning.
Not predicting it will, but wouldn't be too surprising.
They'll go out in the quarters / semis once they play somebody good.
Not. A. Chance. Dunno when they'll go out, but they'll go out.
It's been too long. A group stage calamity beckons.
Drunk turtle with a flare sticking out of its bum.
Three points, clean sheet. Bosh.
I'm middle aged now, won't have that many left to experience and I've pretty much given up on us ever winning one of these, so yeah, given the choice I'd rather have enjoyed this game and seen us lose than what actually happened.Originally Posted by igor_balis
It's not as if we haven't got two more games against middle of the road shite to make up for it either.
Cesc knows we're wank.
Southgate writes his substitutions down the day before and makes them regardless of what happens. Ole Gunnar Binman used to do the same.
How Foden stayed on the pitch there I don't know. He was bobbins throughout
That stat about not winning the opening game for the first 9 tournaments but then doing so for these last two is such a misleading one. The tournament had 8 teams in it when I started watching it.
It's actually unbelievable that this is the case, but it really is, isn't it?
Did Klopp ever play him in midfield? The only reason to do so seems to be so he can maybe have a pop from range, which is fair enough, but maybe not something to build a strategy around. Although as if we have a strategy.
Our left side was so bad the whole game. Another classic Foden performance. Shame Trippier didn't get injured.
Gallagher and Bowen as the first subs for ENERGY is just everything that is wrong with modern football. Zero quality.
First 30 minutes decent, last hour not very good at all.
Sums up Southgate really in that he will get you par across a tournament but but as soon as you come up against anyone decent we will most likely lose, when you look at what came before him that’s not terrible but you do feel that the team is better than he is getting from it. Basically he’s an English Sven who had the team pretty much doing the same thing.
He brought Bowen on to defend, not to attack.
He’s actually not that good.
The issue being the attacking plan for the last 20 minutes was to hoof the ball up the field.
You're 40-odd, not 70.
It's also why the bigger name always stays on. I don't think Ole Gunnar Binman subbed Rashford once.
What tf are they saying?
Tottenham get battered everywhere they go.
After his Jew baiting, this is what Kiko was up to.
Conflicting reports on whether it's Serbs and Albanians or Serbs and the English, but I'm sure there's some Albanian in our boy somewhere so the charge STANDS.
There's clearly an English voice in there.
And a big England flag on the back of one of their shirts.
However, it could be English lads staying outside to just look hard whilst the Albanians were the ones to pile in.
Watched at the pub so only half-watched really but Guehi looked a bit of a don. Like it was his 40th England cap, not his *checks notes* 12th.
As ever, Bellingham the best player on the pitch. Nice of England to play with 10 men and not bother playing a striker too.
I'm a twit
Shitloads of Belgians in town for later. Already making a racket.
Wimbledon doesn't start for a fortnight.
Balls.
I saw a Barney Ronay piece and wondered. "Weird, I haven't seen anything he's written in years." Only to find out he apparently blocked me about half a decade ago for saying cricket is shit.
Cracking finish
Yet another goal conceded by industrial shitmunchers trying to play it out from the back. Just hoof it up to the big man.
Lolnin.
Yeah, that might be it for him in the tournament.
As bad as Ukraine are, Romania look pretty good.
I'm a twit
Kepa must be hilariously bad to be behind Lunin in the pecking order
Ukraine were fancied to do alright weren't they?
Zinchenko is infuriating. Every time he gets the ball he turns back and plays an easy 10yd pass to the centre back. Kills all momentum, kills every attack. Haven't seen his move forward with the ball once.
Have Ukraine not made their subs at 4 different times? I thought there was a limit of 3?
You've got to imagine that's the Ukrainians done.
Surely going to lose against the Belgians and they wont be able to overturn the negative GD they'll have against Slovakia.
I like the look of Romania. Like the Argentina of the Carpathians.
This has almost become a meme in the Swedish league this season, the amount of terrible teams that try to start play in their own box and then just royally fuck it up time and time again. The modern game is so dumb.
That Belgian defence makes England’s look like prime Italy.
Someone gotta be making a killing on early first half goals
Kante starting for France later
Lobotka is bossing this so far.
Slovakia looking nifty.
I don't know about half the players in that Belgian XI.
Lukaku still stealing a living
Time for Belgium to shit or get off the pot. They've been massaging their top seed status and doing fuck all for too long now.
Also looking at the bench, it really feels like their generational moment is fully over at this point.
Surprising that VAR didn't waste upwards of 5 mins for what was a decently clear offside.
Lolkaku
That's almost comical at this point.
This goes back to Yev's point last night how he'd rather see a defeat from a team that tries. Belgium have always tried. They're a worse England.

Aye I'm sure their fans will be happy they gave it a go.
