20th June Games

[Kenneth]

Can somebody ... anybody ... give Italy a run through of the offside law.

It's mental

I bet Woys sat in the hotel rubbing his face now with the rest of the lads. Probably saying "we'd beat this lot lads, with my tactical nous and young Wayne's eye for goal we'd wip em apart, you mark my words"

Shows what would have been possible if we had put out a team on the front foot and pressed Italy higher up the pitch. Instead, we allow them the freedom of the park and stand off them.

Watching other games again, it's striking just how lazy/unfit england were. Plodding around the place as if they were italian.

Exactly, especially standing off Pirlo like they did. I've heard people say that the football we play in the premiership is to blame, imo the best thing we could do is play our games like we do week in week out.

[Kenneth]

The refs done what he can to help Italy but he can't score himself.

[Kenneth]

Worst dive eva

[Chris]

The plucky loss to Italy not looking so good now! Still, I'm sure beating Costa Rica reserves will be spinned as "we beat the best team in the group" or something. If they can even manage that.

Congrats to CR!!

[tanner]

Feck me, England always make Pirlo look like a magician.

[rodo]

england out

[Roboklopp]

Bodgersaur. What a ****ing loser.

[Kenneth]

Now that was a super soft penalty.

[Kenneth]

Switzerland getting completely ****ted.

[McDermotX]

Crunchy as **** challenge by Sakho. Fair.

[Muddled]

France now 4-0 up.

Aston Villa sure have addressed their leaky defence by purchasing Senderos.
