England V Wales - Will You Be Working Or Watching?

At least teams can't play for a draw in the knock out stage.

Ummmm do you not remember us against Italy in the last Euro's? That's precisely what we did....

Of course they can....and then hope to nick it on pens

Genuinely pleased for Wales by the way, despite a few Wales fans seeming to be much happier with the Slovakia performance than their own.

[Sippo]

We'll clearly they did, they scored the most goals and got the most points. Why would anyone have an issue with that? 

Because Wales hardly get any credit. Not bad for a bunch of sheep shaggers.

If we're gunna run out of ideas and just cross it in the box for the last 15 mins then why didn't we take someone like Carroll/Townsend who can actually head/cross  :'( Plan B.

Changes didnt make much difference in my opinion,clyne was our best player,99% of people would surely have gone for vardy and sturridge....only contentious one was perhaps rooney.to say we didnt create anything is frankly baffling.

[suttonred]

Reminded me of us. All balls, but no cock to stick in. Dire really.

Was going to comment the same thing. Commentators saying England dominated when really they just messed about with possession and really didn't create much and made it a very very boring game to watch.

Didnt create anything?vardy,sturridge,ali all with clear cut opportunities and several desperate blocks in the first half alone.thats what i saw anyway

We played OK...certainly seen worse in recent campaigns.  Most of our shots though were hit too well.....Hal Robson Kanu showed the way....scuff a mis-hit into the corner.

I saw the same thing.

I've seen some comments on social media that we were dire. Disappointing, maybe. Dire, WTF?

We've managed to stutter through what is a mediocre group thanks only a last minute winner against Wales that's fairly poor.
In front of goal we just aren't ruthless and all the backwards/sideways football is pretty frustrating at times.

[Batch]

We've been dominant in every game we have played in, just lacking a killer touch. Agree we have been a bit pedestrian, but all three teams tried to shut up shop against us - its hard to break them down.

[sonicyouth]

I don't think I've ever seen a team so negative as Slovakia, a draw didn't benefit them at all so why put everyone behind the ball for 90 minutes? Seemed odd.

England didn't play poorly but Wilshere was a waste of space and Bertrand offered fuck all except an excellent elbow smash. Vardy did nothing for most of the second half, barely noticed him.

Dier looks a great player and Lallana was good too. I like Rooney in midfield but not the type of player to bring on as a sub in that sort of game.

Nevertheless, a penalty defeat awaits against Portugal.

Well done to Wales, the sight of Neil Taylor's bewilderment in front of goal was amazing.

[Nomoreheroes]

There appeared little movement or creativity. The pace appeared pedestrian too.
