    I am hoping that whatever happens we finish second rather than first, thereby playing Spain in quarters.
    This would allow a route to final without having to play the Germans (who I think are the strongest looking team so far)
    Good point, though I'd give us a chance against Italy.
    Penalties vs the Germans, and this time we'll win.

    Of all the advert breaks on all the world I hate the one inbetween the national anthems and kick off most

    Macdonalds are the official tournament sponsors of 'player escorts'. Some things just don't come across in translation.

    Anyone else think we need to keep hold of the ball for more than 5 seconds in order to score a goal.

    Yeah be nice at some stage but they were always going to come out of the blocks sharpish.

    Agree. Hoping it's to take the edge of the Ukranians before we try to be more fluid.

    England playing far too deep. Absolutely atrocious or Ukraine are much better than we think they are? Special mentions to Milner and Rooney who've both been useless

    This formation does not seem to provide much scope for any over lapping runs by Cole and Johnson with Young and Milner permanently stationed 10 yards in front of them.

    Best bit of the first half was the half-time whistle.

    Dreadful first half. Cannot hold on for a 0 0. Need to take Milner and Rooney off and get Walcott and Carroll on. But dont think that will happen. Save Wayne for the quarters.

    If it stays like this have a feeling Schevcenko will come off the bench and nick a goal.

    Rooney's first touch is abysmal. There can't be a more mediocre international player than Milner. Thank gog for JT, Ashley Cole and Stevie Gerrard

    No need to panic. I think Hodgson knew that the first half would pan out this way. Bring Walcott/Ox/Carroll on with 25 minutes to go at 0-0 and we can definitely steal this.

    Think Roy has told them first and foremost not to lose. Hoping to nick a set play or use Walcott late on when they get tired. Certainly playing very rigid with no width and we don't have flair of any real quality anyway. Still think this will end up 1 nil to England.

    If you think Milner's mediocre, just pray to gog that Henderson doesn't come on!

    Dire !! Agree about Milner, Parker has yet to play a ball forward and Rooney hasn't woken up. Back to normality then.
