There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

That would be an ecumenical matter.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Henderson's delivery into the box from set pieces and open play is absolute dog wank...

Other than that think we've played well.

Yeah Wilshere hasn't been that good either. I'd not have taken him or Henderson in the squad at all myself....

More you look at this more you think a genuine wide player like Townsend would have helped break teams down.

Trying to be too clever for me. Short free kicks, diamonds, reverse passes...

Forget that. Get people in the box. Lump it in.

Can't get any live coverage other than for the BBC text. Danny Mills saying that we have no width. I assume that that's fair as we haven't had any in the last two games either.

It is fair. We are trying to go through the middle all the time. The full backs have offered width to be fair, especially Clyne but a lot of our build up play is through the middle and not quite good enough to play like that.

If the tournament has taught us anything so far, it's that teams that invite so much pressure on themselves tend to get punished. If we can keep this pace up, our goal will come.

Danny Mills making a right tit of himself - England will score but they might run out of time...

Couldn't even win the group. Sums Hodgson up, no plan and winging it as we go.

There is no pattern or shape other than hope we can go down the middle or get a full back on the overlap.

It is so frustrating watching our decent strikers get so little service because we play such slow and ponderous football.

Team reflects the manager.

Roy out.

Are the KO games drawn from a bag or is it a 'Winner A plays Runner up B' kind of format?

We play runner up from group F. Could be Portugal. Rather suspect it might be....

Had we won the group we'd have played a team that finished 3rd.

Roy's been told semis are minimum by Greg Dyke...

Give it up will you. We didn't score because they defended lik demons. 149 corners, 76 shots on target and they hardly came out of their half. Cahill spent more time in their box than ours. Frustrating as fxck, but Hodgson did nothing wrong at all.

Townsend. But he hasn't taken him.....

Not necessarily start him but he'd be a good option to stretch teams off the bench.
