    I'm a bit concerned that McDonalds are advertising at pitchside that they provide players with escorts.

    Though it does help explain why some seem so languid.

    McBrass?

    I think Lothar Matthäus is probably my most liked pundit for this tournament. Which surprises me as I disliked him as a player.

    Just about to say, just when you thought the commentators couldn't get worse, that mug rocks up.

    Germany take 8 minutes to score against Slovakia.

    Don't suppose Slovakia will put 10 men behind the ball now.

    Germany take 8 minutes to score against Slovakia.

    Ireland were even faster scoring against France.

    Slovakia to win.

    Germany get a penalty after 12 minutes.

    About time Skrtel was punished for that type of thing.

    Arsenal players showing their worth from the spot this tournament

    Why the fuck doesn't Dowie just keep his mouth shut. Whatever he says is either contradiction or just utter bollocks.

    Who was the idiot on here who said the Slovak keeper wasn't all that, being a relative weak link in his club team?

    What? Oh....
  • What's with players not putting the ball on the penalty spot ? The Swiss bloke whip missed yesterday did the same with his penalty. If they can't even get that bit right they deserve to not score

    Be nice if Dowie got a players name right before the end of the game.

    Granted France have been less than convincing, but anyone who thinks we can beat them with the way we've played so far is dreaming.

    Can't believe this is only 1-0. Germany are completely dominant.

    Should be 1-1.

    Why couldn't they have defended like that against us. Just let Draxler go past him.

    If we had got an early goal against Slovakia we would've ripped them apart. When they actually have to move out their own half they look awful. Germany strong however.
  • Germany missing a penalty, and still bossing it against Slovakia, 2 nil up, England miss a penalty and they implode, why do Germany have a stronger mental toughness than anyone else, used to expect to win I guess, 4 x World Cup winners, 4 x Euro's winners, the Man United of international football.

    Too easy for Germany this, shows how poor we were not beating Slovakia.

    When was the last time England missed a pen during normal time at a major competition? Have we ever?

    Beckham v France in 2004 is the only one i can think of.

    Because we wouldn't have passed the ball forward we would have played it back to sturridge on the half way line
  • Serves Slovakia right this. Showed no intent and just parked the bus and played for a point against us, just so they'd get third and this is what they've ended up with. Could've gone for the win and got Iceland.
