Euro 2016 begins!

aw oh!

Hellooo…. Waves to all the Scotland supporters watching the footy…..

Scotland fans waving back now.

Perfect moment of hubris. 🙂

Arse

Oh.
For.
****’s.
Sake.

Sterling goes off, we concede.

????!

that’s what happens when you don’t take your chances! which looks a massive glaring issue going forward.

THat is the england we have come to know and love

YOuse did not deserve that and Russia are very very lucky indeed

I wonder how long for the footie haters to pop in with their pro Russian pithy remarks.

Angry sports journos tearing up all their copy as we speak. Set it up nicely for Wales to put us out, though.

Don’t panic! Plenty of time to come first or 2nd
We played very well, which should see us through long term

Apparently it’s kicking off in the stadium with Russian fans rushing the English.

50 seconds to go and there’s an equalizer?

That’s not cricket.

Sterling goes off, we concede.

alot of people don’t understand the defensive job these players do, sometimes they may not look like they are doing much going forward, but they are keeping people busy down the wing, and they help push a team back further up the pitch by stopping you getting attacked down that wing.. It has an effect on the whole opposition team.

FFS! 😥

It’s never easy. England are the hardest team to support …

1-1 against a very understrength Russian side.

This is the England we all love 😀

Shouldve kept me gob shut 5 mins ago about England winning in rugby, U20s rugby and football!

The glitch. The glitch!!

Crikey, unlucky lads! 😮

No change this tournament then 🙂

Why when Sterling had the left wing to himself did we resort to defensive play when we’d not had a problem all night? Sheesh

Everyone ready to pick their second teams? 😉

POSTED 2 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST

Couldn’t agree more , see earlier post , I rate him . Not the finished product but he is trouble for the opposition

From what we saw earlier Wales aren’t going to beat either England or Russia.

Copy will be about Sterling I’d say, he was dire wasting so many opportunities. Both Vardy and Kane need to play against Slovakia and Wales

classic 1st goal capitulation.. shows the 3rd rate replacements for the first team.. Milner and wilshere poor.. couldve been worse we couldve had henderson.

I was enjoying the football in the first half. Hodgson should not be following the lvg guide to winning gammes

Well. I didn’t see that coming…..
Oh. Hold on a sec, yes, actually I did. 🙄

No it was definitely about wiltshire playing…don’t pretend you have forgotten 😉

wilshere poor

Really? Thought he played quite well for the brief time he was on.

…and Milner wasn’t on the pitch long enough to make any impact.

proud record maintained – well done lads

The joys of watching England – poor old mini THM is too young to realise this is the norm. At 89 m he still thougt we might win 😉

French coppers will have their hands full tonight

How typically, uniquely… England!

Going out first round

Weren’t we meant to have options up front – who was the bloke playing at 9, a ghost?

And 19, WTF…….how did he last that long??? Which side had the manager working for nothing/honour?
I

I’m not sure I saw the same game as some of you lot. Wilshere poor?

Onwards and upwards! Positive performance . Would rather a 1-1 like this than a 0-0 with Algeria like World Cup 2010.

We’re not out yet…but it’s a decent start!

For some reason I knew they would equalise.

Russia goal was created by a lovely combination from Wilshere and Milner.. Didnt have to be on the pitch that long for them to make an impact !
Shame England’s shape and intensity dropped in the second half. Got to move on now and win the next game. Give Sturridge and Rashford a go

I’ll take 1-1 over not even qualifying all day long

Great to see David Ginola hosting the French TV coverage after his heart attack and quadrupe bypass just 3 weeks ago, respect

When whoever the commentator was at 80mins started talking about this being a win for England, it was clearly not going to be.

For some reason I knew they would equalise.

Yeah, I had a feeling. Cashed out my bets with 5 mins to go, as I just didn’t have the confidence they’d close it out.

Anyway you can qualify with 3 draws, so it’ll be reet.
