Euro 2012 - Group Stages

[winchester_royal]

Worse than watching Reading that

[ZacNaloen]

Defensive work on the training ground for the next week me thinks.

[Avon Royal]

Good news: Only a point needed from the final game.

Bad news: It's on ITV................

It'll be Romania all over again.

[ZacNaloen]

Ukraine will spank us, I think.


Good technical team.

[Uke]

Good news: Only a point needed from the final game.

Bad news: Ukraine need the win

[Ian Royal]

England sit back playing for a draw, give Ukraine all the momentum. Ukraine score midway through the game. England panic, start to try and force things and romp forward. Ukraine score again. England get a consolation goal. Ukraine hit them on the break again.

Ashley Young was fcuking awful tonight, Milner was very average, changes needed for Monday. My team:

Hart
Johnson
Terry
Lescott
Cole
Walcott
Gerrard
Parker
Ox
Rooney
Welbeck

Harsh on Carroll, but he can come on with 20 to play and scare the arse off 'em.

[Jack Celliers]

Can I give biased marks out of ten based more on my own pre-game prejudices than actual performances?

Hart 5: two games; two cock ups

Johnson 8 motm
Cole 7
Terry 6 in this game, 3 if he played some teams with strikers
Lescott 6

Gerrard 5
Parker 4
Young 3
Milner 6

Carrol 6
Wellbeck 7

Subs
Walcott 10

[Avon Royal]

Johnson 8 motm

Probably was Sweden's MOTM to be fair.

Scores fair enough - although I'd probably give Parker and Carroll 7's

[Simon's Church]

Team for next game:

Hart
Johnson Lescott Terry Cole
Parker
Milner Gerrard
Rooney
Carroll Welbz

Take it to 'em, comfortable win.

[Ian Royal]

Where is the width? We'd get crucified down the flanks. England can't play intricate football through the middle, we have to get it out wide and use pace there.

[PieEater]

Ignore all the negatives, we scored a couple of brilliant goal tonight.

I could watch the slow mo of Carroll with that cross and header, he had time to head it then move his head towards the goal then to say oxf*rd you Sweden whilst suspended in mid air. Then Wellbeck's goal was just pure class, what a way to win a game.

On the down side, our defence and marking was shit.

[soggy biscuit]

Every time I have a rant we score...

That's an amazing finish.

No way in the world did he mean to do that

[Alan Partridge]

Balls to the negatives. Despite a TON of injuries, despite England's best player being unavailable, England have 4 pts from 2 games and barring a disaster will qualify from what is a tough group.

Happy Days. Roy's done fantastically over these first couple of games. Got the tactics, team selections and subs bang on for both occasions and got the best 2 results realistically possible from them.

England aren't going to win it but at least they are playing positively, look like scoring and playing with some freedom. They'll make mistakes because they aren't brilliant and their defense is makeshift but got to be pleased with tonight surely? Showed great heart and quality to turn that game around.

[Royal Rother]

Exciting game in the end I suppose, but we really are still a pretty crap team.

Fantastic finish by Welbeck but his 1st touch was bloody awful most of the night. Ashley Young was just appalling. And how slow is Terry now?

Probably the worst 2 teams in the tournament on display tonight.

MOTM - Roy Hodgson. Making the most of a bad bunch through tactical nouse.

By the way, Carroll's goal should never have been, because the clearance from the defender curled a foot out of play before reaching Gerrard....

I think you haven't watched Ireland's games...
