Est.1974

Well the Albania Switzerland game is one for the football devotees, can't sit through that one today. As for the other games today, this group will prove to be very tight I think. I actually fancy Slovakia to surprise a few and look really strong. They match up well with Wales, and England aren't greatly different talent wise across the board so things should be close. Not sure about Russia, but will take a flyer the turn out the groups weak link. If England play safe they will suck. If we go all out we may well still suck but will at least have a better chance of not doing so... I'm wasting my hard earned cash on.. Wales Slovakia 2-2 England Russia, 3-1 Kane, Rooney & Cahill

Beer free weekend for me DC, the tonsillitis has seen to that. Best case indeed, as for the second part well no but the Russians are.

Honestly GHH, no major bee in bonnet here. We all have our opinions, ours differ. And I don't defend England to the hilt, and too be fair I'm not fussed what people think about England either, I just find you constant dig at the national team and its following amusing, but its all good, we are all fair game. As for the keep quiet or I will tell everyone what its really like line, haha really, who give's a stuff, pretty sure people can form opinions without your, or my, influence around here. Just google worst cases of English football violence abroad, should cover off everything nicely.

that's a start. best player on the field

The fouled players were. Moving on again, this game could be typical of much of the tourney, not much top draw quality teams but lots of very closely matched teams overall. Too many teams progressing from the groups might close things down too much as the group stages progress though.

Payet is going to look quality as this tourney goes on, will out do a few other star players I reckon.

GHH, you posted the link and raised the subject not me, and whilst a portion of England fans are knobs, so are most in all instances....and the reports are predominantly bull****, just noise to show the French authorities are playing hard, which is good. Perhaps you should leave alone the initial **** stirring. Moving on, cracking game.

It has been an unexpectedly good start, France need a goal to settle I reckon. Tidy game though. I admire your high standards.

I think all three should and could go too.

Man City are going to ship a whole boat load of crap out anytime soon and start again big time. Leicester winning the league will have pissed a fair few people off.

Sentiment is true, kinda, but Drinkwater is average really. See Vardy with regard to Leicester players being picked. Agreed about Reds pissed over Sturridge being picked. Gonna be injured August through October now. Agreed about the blues players. They've pretty much sucked for months. Hodgson is no bellend. Bit of a muppet most the time but hey he's done alright. And finally the percentage of people arsed increases greatly by excluding certain sectors of English society. I look forward to you posting when we exit at the group stages haha..... Brazil '82 just amazing to watch. Ah when world cups were great.

Yeh no shocks here, been pretty obvious for months. Great choice for them, desperate for a short term fix. He's the man, they will be a strong team next season.

Mourinho to Utd appears a done deal. Yep what a knob haha

I think you will be a better team next year........but so will a few others. Will be interesting to see the summer rebuilds.

Last post on it.......yeah right.

Don't think you got screwed over DC, let it slip late first half then caught cold in the second. Sevilla got going and simply closed you out the game.

Jeez good to see its still light hearted in here haha.

Can't stand LFC, but that was a fantastic football moment.

Sturridge ain't gonna cope with that haha. By the way, not trolling here, it's my honest take on him. It would be great if it turned out different, for Liverpool.....and England for me....just don't see it. I agree with you, Liverpool need another forward.

Leicester miss an open goal, still leading 1-0 with 15mins to go.

I feel you're in the minority with most of that GHH. Great natural finisher, getting 30 games a season is the problem. Probably does the Euros, which isn't necessarily the best result for Liverpool. Time will tell.

This has always been the issue with him. Probably always will be.

I'm not sure Klopp will buy into Sturridge as the long term answer. Can't see it.

Reckon the league might get interesting this weekend. Think both Spurs and Leicester get beaten.

Reports suggest he would compete with Joe Hart for the #1 spot. Can't see it, Hart would be gone if he signs.
