Mediocre first half. Some of these England players are bang average. Henderson, Lallana, Bertrand. I'll be kind and stop there. Absolutely better than Slovakia but lacking any kind of guile to break them down. Subs required.
Wiltshire trying to be too clever on too many occasions getting caught on the ball 3 times in the first half Sturridge trying to dance around the ball and getting caught out FRUSTRATING
Henderson is shocking also if he can't beat the first man on a corner or freekick he launches it way above everyone instead
slow, slow pass it back slow slow pass it back shocking football from England the slow build up allows the Slovaks to get 11 behind the ball and nullifies Vardy's pace
So we play the runner-up of Group F next Monday night at 8pm....one of Portugal, Austria, Hungary or Iceland awaits.
Absolutely, one game at a time. I'd like us to avoid Portugal <bogey team> but the other three don't exactly fill you with fear.
Aye, well done Wales, slapped those Russians around the chops and spat them out. Nice one, very sweet
England's next opponents don't play until Wednesday. I like this, our players get two extra days to recover.
England have a record of getting through the group stages and then failing spectacularly in the one of the two games following. From what I have heard they were fortunate to get out of the groups this time around.
