Euro 2016 begins!

he really is shit

Its like playing a fast runner with no skills

Is this a ‘good’ game so far? It’s only the second one I’ve ever seen and the last one was 20 years ago – this is the better of the two, more is happening.

Sterling vs Vardy – who would you want on the end of that chance ?

FFS! He couldn’t hit a cows arse with a bag. It was actually harder to miss that than bury it!! Donkey!!!

He couldn’t hit a cows arse with a bag

Is that even a phrase? Cow’s arse with a banjo, surely?

Terrible balance footballers.

Robbie Savage says they are wearing the wrong footwear

robbie savage is even more irritating than normal

This is shit.

Ha!!

Why have a wall when he’s that far out? Rooney to blame?

THUMP

two free kicks and two goals

Two weak attempts by GK though

What. A. Hit.

Hart should be keeping that out

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

8)

“Don’t worry lads, you run about and fall over, I’ll score the goals. Don’t mind how far out.” 🙂

Goooooaaaaaalllllll! Wales! Wales! Wales! Gooooaaaaaalllll! 😆 (Brazilian pundit style)

Was that Sterlings fault?

Oh dearie, dearie me….

Was just about to post – is there any chance we (Eng) might score in open play? Still a valid question. Now I don’t know exactly how much woy is paid but it’s patently obvious we are struggling to put the ball in the new. wtf is sterling doing on the pitch.

Good goal though…

Was talking to someone in the pub yesterday as I was saying Bale might score first … arrghhh … could be quids in if I bet.

So far so good. Come on Wales!

double post.

you have been crap and murdered for 45 minutes

Well Woys system is working well. Why is Sterling on the pitch? Other than putting an absolute sitter into Row Z, I haven’t even heard his name mentioned. He’s absolutely ****ing hopeless!!!!

Bales goal was an absolute peach though. Fair play. Give any more free kicks away and he looks like he could do that all day long

Yet we’re winning. Funny old game.

Was that Sterlings fault?

For not putting us 1-0 up yes

As said now on bbc the keeper should be saving that

Harston saying how a finisher would score – interrupted with “he’s not a finihser though” 🙂

It’s like deja vu …..all over again!

Indeed but still not deserved

England look unable to score though

Interesting second half with Wales able to counter as England go for it

Please dont go home so soon I like to see the dawn of false hope being cruelly crushed in a penalty shootout or a handball goal 😉

yup was indeed Roonie’s fault as he gave away the free kick.

ENgland always like to look for a victim 🙄

The keeper really should have saved that

I played in goal for 30 years, and I’d never want a wall from 35 yards. The purpose of a wall is to stop a direct shot, means that a player has to either bend or dip a ball using spin and gravity. If you’re close in, you can’t blast it over a wall because you can’t swerve it enough to get it down again, hence a wall slows the shot and gives the keeper a bit more time.

All it’s done in this case is to mean he can’t see the ball for 1/3 of it’s travel. If he’d stood in the middle of the goal with no wall and let him shoot – he’d have thrown his hat on it.

Should still have saved it.

Indeed but still not deserved

In what way is it not deserved?

The keeper really should have saved that

The strikers should have scored 5 or 6 goals by now. 1 mistake by the keeper though…

And this is why I didn’t put England and Wales in my accumulator.

In what way is it not deserved?

Only chance all game, defended for 45mins, not really in it and then a”lucky” goal from a long range free kick

No one could argue wales were the better side and I dont want england to win.

Bye Bye Sterling. About time.

Oh good a compile of people who know where the goal is. Here’s hoping

so this is what a football thread looks like…

Considering copying Bale’s bin bag top knot junkyard?

Only chance all game, defended for 45mins, not really in it and then a”lucky” goal from a long range free kick

So what? Wales took their chance, England haven’t. And there’s not anything novel about absorbing pressure and hitting a team on the break.
