Block after block.

 

[Jimbob Smalls]

Taking nothing away from Wales, Russia needed a win not a draw. Much easier to score against a team having to take risks.

 

[theaface]

My thoughts about England right now...

"Can you give me back my time?!"

 

[Carl2291]

You think they will show up against the other teams? They got pretty lucky with Wales

The good teams won't sit back with 10 players hoping for a draw like Russia, Wales and Slovakia have done.

[El Topo]

The way Slovakia are playing you'd think they were through. So little effort.

 

[Infernostew]

Come on Wayne....

 

[Phantast2k]

Long Live Lord Baleish.

England are not going to score anymore.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Why did I choose the England game over the Wales one

 

[D4Danger]

In fairness it's very difficult to break down 11 defenders. Slovakia look like the're happy to get the draw and qualify.

You really like our singing?

And those teams will beat England.

Imagine how this game would've went down if the third had no chance to qualify

STOP FUCKING CHANTING YOU BRAINLESS TWATS

Slovakia has defended incredibly well. Hats off to them.

 

[Garjon]

Of all the English songs you could chant repeatedly and you sing one composed by an American for an American film

 

[Mascot]

So, so bad.

 

[Tempy]

Russia almost got a goal there.

 

[Shiloa]

England have faced 3 games with teams of 10 defenders. As much as I would criticize the team, it's so harsh to judge their performance poorly. England need to not lose hope and then they can really shine when it comes to the knockouts.

Lovely line from the Guardian liveblog:

80 min: This game, having bounced around like a toddler fuelled by a Haribo overdose for 70-odd minutes, has now curled up in a corner and gone to sleep. The Russian team can’t wait to get out of Toulouse.

 

[Maximus P]

England fans showing they're extensive range of songs....by singing the same one again

Should watch the Wales game. They're singing too but there's actual joy behind it.

 

[Boy Wander]

Fuck me, this England team couldn't break down a rice pudding.

Yeah, England doesn't really play all that boring. It's the kind of game that's just not going to be pretty.

The frustrations about the offense are understandable though.

 

[Carl2291]

And those teams will beat England.

Irrelevant because they will actually be exciting, open games of football. Not just one team sat knocking on a breeze block wall for 90 minutes.

 

[Hesemonni]

No wonder England has so many hooligans. They need to do something to keep them entertained after matches like this :/

We've had chances though, as much as I agree with you. We should have been a couple up by half time, and that's a problem that's not going away.

 

[Infernostew]

Kane was a bad choice

 

[Nemesis121]

11 vs 10 England can you score?

 

[Oersted]

Chanting Hey for every successful pass might be not the most annoying thing on earth, but hell its close.

 

[JP]

This is making me very tense, will be very happily settle with both matches to finish as they are now.

Watch it be Portugal.

Even worse when Spain fans do it. 89 minutes of pointless passing.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Slovakia have had 0 shots on target. That said, the fact it's 0-0 does not surprise me since this is England they're facing.

 

[Bold One]

Hoddle's insight actually leaves you at a deficit

 

[Infernostew]

Only 5?

 

[Nemesis121]

all the way back to the goalie hahahaha

 

[Cob32]

fingers crossed for Iceland

I'm hoping for Portugal. Don't fancy watching another 10 defender team playing for penalties.

 

[Jamie OD]

Is that the same crying Welsh fan as last time?

 

[Maximus P]

For all the stick that this England team are getting, this is the best and most consistent performance ive seen from them in a tournament for a long time. Dominated 3 matches,against 3 teams who have resorted to sticking 11 players in the box.

 

[idonteven]

the great wall of slovakia

 

[gutshot]

Crying Wales fan returns!

 

[Phantast2k]

Shouldn't Sterling be playing against that tight Slovak defense?

Edit - My mistake, wrong guy.

Agreed, this group has been like attack vs defence training sessions for England. Unfortunately we don't have anyone truly creative enough to punish a team that piles men behind the ball.

I think we'll look better in the knockouts when teams come at us more, whether we can win is another matter.
