Recommended Posts

Fail to beat Russia and Slovakia and England fan thinks that's great.

Says it all tbqh

£20 to the forum says England get further than Wales.

If we both go out at the same stage I'll give a tenner.

Harry Kane is set to reclaim his starting position for England's Euro 2016 clash against Iceland, with Roy Hodgson ready to drop Jamie Vardy for the second round tie in Nice on Monday.

Kane, last season's 25-goal Premier League top scorer, was relegated to the substitutes' bench by Hodgson for the Group B encounter with Slovakia last Monday after failing to score against Russia and Wales in England's previous two group games.

lol LOL lol LOL

Kane

lol LOL lol LOL

Yeah if we had someone like Riyad then maybe...

If England were in that position it would go back to the right back and to the centre backs, or back into midfield.

 

Aint that the truth

So true

Without the ball, Iceland are outstandingly disciplined structurally, and very physical. I wouldn't say this about most English teams, but I look at the youth and wavering confidence among this English squad, and I do wonder whether they can be pushed around and bullied.

I think England would do well to play 4-4-2 with Dier at the base of the midfield. I'd like to see Kane and Vardy, like lots of others, but mostly because I think England will need a tall forward that can play with his back to goal at the top of the box to attract a defender, lay off passes, and help create channels through Iceland's two banks of four.

Which would be alright, but Harry "zero assists" Kane is a tad selfish, so will probably try and turn and shoot, wherever he is.

Had a bit too much to drink last night which resulted in drunkenly booking the Eurostar and Digs for the quarter finals lol lol

Can I sleep on floor if ireland pull off a miracle ?

Posted

lol

You can certainly have my Eurostar and bed if we don't make it (not joking) it's cost me 250 all in Saturday til Monday

Wow that's great value

Iceland are a better side than people seem to be giving them credit for, let's not forget they had a strong qualifying campaign coming 2nd in their group with just 2 defeats away from home to eventual group winners the Czech Republic as well as away to Turkey, beating an admittedly weaker than we've come to expect Netherlands squad twice (though tbh are the Netherlands really any worse than this England squad?).  If we do win it'll be a grinding shithouse victory.  Fully expect to go out on penalties though.

1-0 England. Think it'll be similar to most of the other games but we will eventually find a way through in injury time. Not confident though, these in theory should be beaten soundly but they're ridiculously good for the size of the place, they're better than two sides we've failed to beat already, by no means is it a stroll.

 

You've just got to hope we take the few clear chances we get otherwise we'll get another shambles like Monday just gone. They'll be happy to let us dominate and they'll be more dangerous on the break than Slovakia too.

2-0 Cahill and Smalling with goals from ser pieces (providing Harry Kane isn't taking them).

The sort of game where it would be great if we took acouple of wingers in the squad and went 442.

With the squad we have got to look at the diamond

Dier

Milner Ali

Rooney

Vardy Kane

Posted

Before the Slovakia game when our quarter final could've been either in Lille or Paris the Eurostar to Paris was 100 quid less than what we paid, so the prices will only increase

If ireland pull off the shocks of shocks I'll be on the iPad during game and book straight away

Think we should mix it up and go with:

The classic 3-5-2 O'Neill formation, England have no width so it makes sense we have this formation and the wing backs provide the width.

GK: Hart

CB: Smalling

CDM: Dier

CB: Cahill

RWB: Walker

LWB: Rose

CM: Wilshere (should be Drinky tho)

CM: Rooney

AMC: Alli

CF: Kane

CF: Vardy

Ive got a revolutionary new tactic for this game, if Iceland are defending deep.

 

Its called "Put the ball in the fvcking box".

 

I mean go flat out Wimbledon up in this bitch.

 

If theyre defending deep, a centre half or full back can advance with the ball and play a deep cross.

 

Put the ball in the box.

 

Then win the header, or win the 2nd ball in and around the box, and bury it.

 

No passing, no neat triangles, no oooh we can break them down

 

Put 100 high balls in their box and watch em end up conceding from 1 or 2 of them.

Hodgson says he is "prepared to carry on" after the tournament but "that's different to wanting it". He's "not prepared to beg" apparently. A lot of arrogance for a man who has failed in every tournament he has been in with England.
