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

[Chris]

England were class.

[Phoenix07]

England are very Spurs heavy. This kind of performance was inevitable.

What was that about Spurs

Give them time.

They Spursed it up.

[Kenneth]

LOL. Would a top class manager sit on a 1-0 against ****e with that pace sat on the bench? Negative managers get negative outcomes all too often.

[MrsB]

lolz

[Buzzo]

That is a shocking result for them.

Yep - Russia were garbage. Not sure why Kane was given the 90, and with the options on the bench the game should have been well won before the 93rd minute.

Still...

[topscorer]

Another pathetic start to a tournament for England.

Game should have been dead and buried.

[Buzzo]

I genuinely can't wait for Roys interview.

[Muddled]

I'm not that arsed about England. Anything that highlights Hodgson's ineptness is tiptop in my book.

[Chazza]

I'm no Woy fan but I'm pretty sure any other manager would look to close the game out in the last 5 minutes so the subs were to be expected.

[SB]

£50m

Cause he's all about the pace , about the pace
No control
He's all about the pace, about the pace
No control
Yeah he's all about the pace , about the pace
And his payroll

[G]

Excellent result for my last man standing game. Needed it.

[Gibbo]

Shouldn't have took Rooney off.

Where was Vardy? Pace against two old centrebacks with 15-20 minutes to go when theyve been battered all game, you smash the ball up-field and he chases it, avoid all that nonsense.

You saw the England shape go full Hodgson last 10 minutes, men behind the ball all over the place, reminded me of those pictures you had when he was our manager.

Such a **** manager.

[dom9]

Who does Dier play for normally? I've never heard of him.

[RichC]

Spurs

[Gibbo]

Spurs Dom.
