A few sublime bits amongst a lot of ordinary stuff tbh.

However, at least they look a spirited side. Not that its enough to challenge at tournaments.

Aye, not going to win anyt tournaments but at least we've won a match and should go through, although that isn't a certainty.

Gerrard's cross for Carrol's goal was absolutely immense though, best cross of the tournament so far.

We've got bouncebackability, that's for sure! Look some way short of the best teams in the competition but this should at least give the players the confidence to go and get something against Ukraine to progress. A few moments of quality in the goals as well, and of course there's a certain player called Rooney to come back in...

I've only seen the goals but it seemed an excellent comeback from Engulund. Some good goals in the game.

Crikey, nasty storm in the froggy Ukraine game. The French look pretty slick.

Since when can we not defend the far post? Oh well, good times. 8 pints of scrumpy helped it along and I now feel like Satan has raped my face with his fiery cock.

How many preggo sheilas did you deck? Very Happy

Well, I really cannot remember... the match is actually stark clear in my head... how much of a twat I was is so incredibly fuzzy that it's like it didn't even happen.

At least I'll always have the feeling of Walcott's goal lifting deep despair from my soul. Thank you Theo.

by skully Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:25

Aye, it was a sweet strike.

by Brass Monkey Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:41

Aye, England now have a selectorial problem IMO. He's stuck his hand up and Roy may now have to change to a classic 4-4-2. To include Rooney, too, would mean dropping one of the goalscorers. It's nice to have some pacy substitutes.

by skully Sat 16 Jun 2012, 11:30

My response is simple. "C'mon Engulund". Joe Hart - the New Wall.

Best English keeper for some time.

Really enjoyable first week of the tourney IMO. Some excellent matches, upsets and good goals.

by skully Sat 16 Jun 2012, 13:17

Aye, it's been a very entertaining first week.

Well, we've barely had one worthy of the name since Seaman was at his peak.

Just hope he doesn't get injured or sent off, as there's fark all in reserve. Especially as two of the more competent backups don't want to travel round sitting on the bench. Our third choice is a 19-year-old who has never played first team football above League Two (fourth tier) level and second is Robert Green, enough said!

That was nice of Dello to come round and watch the game with you.

TBH, I was thinking before Seaman.

No spring. That's his major weakness. Can't get off the ground. Weak on crosses and high, long range strikes.

He's a thinner Paul Robinson.

Greek hanging on in the tournament like they are hanging onto the Euro zone. Just.

by lardbucket Sun 17 Jun 2012, 01:21

Russkies out though.

by skully Sun 17 Jun 2012, 01:22

Aye. Bit of a shock, that.

by lardbucket Sun 17 Jun 2012, 01:24

Not to John the Bookie.

by skully Sun 17 Jun 2012, 01:24

I thought he was in Colombo watching the Wackies lose 7-13.

Wonder if they'll sell the cup to stay in the Eurozone if at all they win the cup.

Ahh, that's who it was. I never would've picked it... I thought his didn't work anymore.

by taipan Sun 17 Jun 2012, 21:37

Holland gone without picking up a point.
