i was a huge critic of Rooney but love him as a midfielder Same. I said before the tournament that I wouldn't have even taken him but in the Chris lines role he's been superb and at last England look like a side that can keep possession. I still think we'll get knocked out against the first good side we come up against though because we don't look solid at the back and although I rate Hart he doesn't seem to do it in the tournaments for us. see now I slightly disagree, I think a better team opens the game up for us and allows to plays like we did against France and Germany in the friendlies. The problem with sh** teams is they park the bus like Wales and England don't know how to break down teams that do this. Personally I think when we come up against this we should just focus on hitting shots from outside the area and banging balls into the box from the wings, but we seem to try and pass it into a crowded box.

Yeah I agree with that, we do have trouble breaking down 10 man defences but so have Germany and France , Italy etc this Euros. My point about us getting knocked out against a top side is based on us not being as good as those sides. I think we're decent but not as good as them. If we can win our group then we should be able to get through to the semis and then yeah you never know but I'd be amazed if we went on to win the euros, our defence is shakey and that's putting it nice and Hart seems too hyped up for my liking, I think he's a bloody good keeper but he needs to calm down and become mr reliable and not so much mr mouthy let's have it.

If we win the group I think we'll be playing a third placed side from another group which shouldn't be any harder than playing the likes of Wales or Russia. Getting to the semi final sounds like a great achievement but we could do that without beating anyone good. If we beat a Germany, Italy or someone in a semi that would be a good achievement. Otherwise it's same old England and knocked out against first good team we play. Got to beat Slovakia first tho.

If Czechs beat Turkey and Spain beat Croatia then it is possible to have them I think? And that would be a lot, lot tougher than Wales and Russia.

Oh the irony. Such a non sequitur to have a City flag with otib, surrounded by two that put the lie to the argument! Even more ironic - the City flag is from BS20, i.e. Portishead which is not within the City of Bristol boundary. They just don't get it!

I don't think any of the big favourites are actually doing what everyone expect - was willing The Swiss to catch France on the hop yesterday. What's happened to Portugal ? Germany never seem to play well but always do enough to get through to last 4 at least without ever impressing. I reckon based on what I've seen pending tonight we have done very well and really should have 6 points putting Russia out - fully expecting a win tonight as competition for places has been really ramped up today. Sneakily i'de like the Russians to kick off in the ground and get expelled tonight. Yes there will always be England knockers as they continually fail to impress but for what's it's worth Win today and I reckon we will make the semis. As for the Manager knockers - sorry you really cannot fault him this tournament and if we had a younger good looking manager and they had gone through qualification and the tournament as we had so far many would have little to moon about - controversial or what !!!!

these group qualification on the 24 team format are identical to the world cup format of 1986 and 1990 and very open to some 'clever' results in the later group matches....
i'm surprised they went with highest lossers 24 teams to be honest, it only works fairly if all matches are played simultaneously....
should get interesting....

At least they're playing the same-group matches simultaneously. Amazing they didn't think that might be necessary in '82. Probably the worst format competition ever.

I hope all these changes don't trip us up. A draw and we're through, but nothing is certain in international group matches. I'd have stuck with the strongest side, including Rooney in midfield, but Roy thinks differently.
Wales 1-0 up. So we really don't want to lose.
