Euro 2016

[Mawsley]

 

[Feriol]

It was the sort of performance we expected, the selected squad isn't capable of anything else. Keep the ball but do nothing with it.

Our most effective attacking players are full backs, who unfortunately lack quality with the final ball, but it shouldn't be left to them alone to put balls into the box.

 

[Motown Fox]

What happened to the elephant up the tree, or since our exploits last season is that no longer an example.

I don't think that the team changes made any difference whatsoever. It would have been the same with the bunch that played in the earlier matches.

There is no formation of note. No shape or tactical approach worth the name. No intelligence or ideas from set plays. No insight into weaknesses in the opposition.

All that is the managers remit and he stinks the place out. He's abysmal.

Summed up for me by the pundits pre match Dixon demonstrated how Wales exploited the space behind their centre backs we did it once all night bad planning by the management

 

[Miles Away]

It's like he's just rolled the balls out and said "enjoy yourselves lads", without a single thought given to how to actually beat a team. It's remarkable.

Of course footballers, if not given clear direction, will fanny about, take four touches and pass it sideways. All players like Sturridge, Wilshere, and Rooney want is the ball.

England have had 3 decent managers in about 60 years...but this bloke is on a shortlist with Taylor and Mclaren for me. He's utterly inept.

 

[Mawsley]

I caught one of his post-match interviews where he started getting the arse because he was being asked to account for the lack of goals - and he made out it was the fault of the other teams for defending. Seriously, what the ****? If I had any kind of allegiance to that team I'd be spitting feathers. England's shortcoming is everybody else's inability to lose properly? What an utter cock.

 

[RHYDAL]

Lovely stuff

Indeed.

He'd better hope to hell that England don't get Iceland in their next game then, that team can defend.

 

[Brown Nose]

With France, Germany, Italy, Spain and England all now in the same half of the draw, I think the chances of Croatia making the final are pretty good. Oh, and England's chances of making the final are zero.

 

[Feriol]

Croatia look very good. Similar style of play to Leicester City.

Spain's shirts look like they have had a bowl of spaghetti bolognese tipped on them.

 

[pork pie fox]

Despite the late equaliser, I said after their draw with the Czechs that Croatia looked very impressive and last night's result has been a huge boost for them.

It also prevented them playing the Italians in the next round, which will be a massive relief to the French police.

 

[Blaarev]

Great fun with the Irish

 

[Motown Fox]

Ireland are through.
Wow it was close.
MON is happy
Even scary Roy looks happy

 

[Blaarev]

And a livid MON on and over the sideline

 

[Blaarev]

Wales-N.Ireland should be fun

 

[Blaarev]

England-Iceland will probably be a borefest of unknown dimensions

 

[fox58]

Ireland are through.
Wow it was close.
MON is happy
Even scary Roy looks happy

To play France 1st time since the hand of Henry

 

[Motown Fox]

And the Swedes are mashed and on the way home.

 

[Cate Fox]

To play France 1st time since the hand of Henry

Hoping revenge will be sweet...

 

[Blaarev]

And the Swedes are mashed and on the way home.

A sad farewell for Zlatan
