  • We are a positive bunch aren't we...
    Awfully sorry. My, we've been great.

  • If a team plays poorly, why is it an offence to say so?
  • 2-0 Sweden

    Played rubbish. Lucky to win this one

    Because as 'fans' we're supposed to 'support' the team and not slate everything they do! We won. End of.

    Lot of youngsters getting tournament experience. Hodgson adapts his tactics based on who we are playing. Not pretty but has been effective so far.

    yesssss won the group if we can stay solid at the back who knows how far we can get :D
  • Well done England. Results are what counts.

    Never thought we would top the group undefeated. Bring on the Azzurri.

    we arent great to watch but isnt it nice to finally see an organised England team that continually put their bodies on the line.

    not all football can be pretty.

  • I'm almost sorry we won now because if we drawn France would have been out, wouldn't they?

    Fantastic result to win the group, well done Roy & co. His teams will never dominate and his tactics thrive on being the underdog. Not sure what more people were expecting? 4-0 strolls in the park?

    Bring on the Italians. Anything from now on is a bonus.

    Think Ukraine had to win to stand any chance of progressing.

    The
    Welbeck's been a pile tonight.
    The media will still love him (and Sturridge) though and will always put them ahead of a fit Bent.

    Unfortunately not, France would've gone through on head-to-head record and anyway they would've had a better GD.
  • I'm almost sorry we won now because if we drawn France would have been out, wouldn't they?
    I thought they still went through on head-to-head, but if i'm honest i don't really understand the way they sort it out!
  • I'm almost sorry we won now because if we drawn France would have been out, wouldn't they?
    nope they still would have been through.
    Ah, yes, mutual matches not goal difference

    Thought we did what we had to but we were pretty drab. Don't think Italy are up to much though.

    Thought Italy have looked pretty good actually. Looking forward to us putting two banks of four in front of them.

    somehow we have stumbled into the quarter final. gerrard, terry and lescott played well.

    officials poor for their ghost goal.

    walcott i do believe did not actually touch the ball.
    milner and the roon were aweful and carroll only managed to knock out two players when he came on.

    a special mention has to be made for scott parkers face, who single handly managed to stop nearly all of ukrains attacks.

    She's cowering in the corner after all the noise during the game .!
  • Fairly standard away win for me. Parker was mad, I am sure he would enter a "boot me Head" competion if there was one

    We'll get mullered by the Italians, better defensively, have enough up top to cause us a lot of problems. Would rather of had Spain to be honest
