England vs Russia - Group B Game #2 - Match Thread

[CJ]

Pretty important if you are a flag manufacturer though

Brilliant attacking half by England just a pity they couldn't score. Still the bench doesn't lack for options.

[SB]

I don't understand a big target like Kane taking corners. Surely we've got a midget who can take them?

[ChesterDave]

Its not even as if he is particularly good at them.

[danperkins]

England have been class, just that end product. Lallana & Walker have been outstanding. This game is made for Vardy though running off and behind two ageing CB's.

[Daniel 7]

Dunno if I agree that England have been class, they've been OK. They should be winning against a limited and unambitious Russia team missing their creative players. Rooney looks good, playing like a latter day Gerrard

[Kenneth]

Sterling is crap.

[Gibbo]

Good to see Sterlings final ball is still wank.

Good to see Sterlings final ball is still wank.

But now his dribbling is wank too. And he's the player least likely to make contact with a volley.

[Phoenix07]

Bizarre how Hodgson wants this England team to press, yet he never went with that idea with us when he had Gerrard, Meireles, Maxi, Kuyt, Torres and Bellamy at his disposal.

[Muddled]

Hodgson going back to his roots. Fullbacks back in the line of four, eleven men behind the ball and one man in the box during an attack that was asking for a midfielder running from deep.

[Buzzo]

Massive for Wales if this finishes 0-0.

[Gibbo]

Surely Vardy has to come on soon

[Fierce]

Is it that Russia remembered to play this half? Or did England forget?

[redmike65]

Sterling is so wasteful
