I love the way you can predict peoples verdicts on England results. I can guarantee the ones who say they have no interest in England anymore throughout the year are the ones who a month before tournaments tell the world how shit we will be then after a decent performance tell everyone how shit the opposition were.
So far i don't think i have seen one world class team and on Wales i don't think they were that good either. We will beat them by 2-3 clear goals. As someone famously said on here that is a FACT

Well I have no fears in us facing england.
Skrtel should have not been on the pitch.

Germany for me have impressed me the most so far, apart from at the back where they look pretty ropey.
Apart from then, and France in bits, no team has stood out as being head and shoulders better than the rest, however we still have Spain, Italy and Belgium to come.
If we can get an early goal or two against the Welsh then we should win comfortably. If we go in at half time at 0-0, things could get awkward. Slovakia didn't impress me that much and Wales generally (apart from the first 5 minutes) contained Hamsik well.

This was the best I've seen England play for a long, long time.
Sucker punch at the end, but lot's of positives to take from the game..
I, personally, thought Rooney was superb.. I don't understand the reservations that people have for him. Opinions are like arseholes, I guess.

Yeah I've gotta say, I was a big critic of Rooneys before the tournament but I thought he was excellent.

Exactly. They have one of the best players in the tournament, but not much else. |

Agree with all the comments about Rooney, I thought he was excellent in midfield.
Who do we play on the left wing instead of Sterling then? Its so frustrating to see yet another whippet footballer not having a football brain, countless scooby doo style runs down the wing to fuck up a cross or give the ball away.

I'd rather have Vardy there than Sterling. |

I hate the saying "one man team" but they really are, he would turn any side into a good side just with his presence, him, Messi and Ronaldo are probably the 3 best players in the world right now and Wales are very lucky to have him. How we deal with that I don't know, he should probably have a man marking him all game but I don't think England have a player capable of doing that who can tackle and has pace. Being a man marker is not much of a part of the modern game, unlike in olden days when Styles, Vogts, Gentile etc. I have a feeling it will be Diers job. |

I'm not afraid to say Rooney proved me wrong in this one and found overall it was a good performance and game.
Sure we were a touch unlucky, but we should have put it to bed long before that. There were negatives (mainly wasting Kane on set-pieces, finishing and Sterling), but they were far outweighed by the positives.

What, with 'Jack' going missing in midfield, 'Blakey' on the wing and 'Olive' moping at the back while 'Arthur' was injured and on the bench? |

Nah, Reg Vardy has a much better motor than Sterling. |

Probably the best player we have for that role. |
