Group D England v Ukraine & Sweden v France

Recommended Posts

Posted

We were totally awful. Accordng to sky we had 43% possesion.

Ukraine had a ton of chances we are just lucky that their strikers lack both pace and skill.

Ukraine looked like a poor championship side and we were nearly beaten by them.

Rooney was dreadful, worse he seemed to make Wellbeck have a poor game too, milner was bad.

Playing like that we will get comfortably beaten by Italy.

Plus two of the games we're against teams who HAD to win to stay in the competiton.

First of all, they rarely looked threatening. I'd say we had more clear cut chances than they did.

Secondly, I don't know the stats but they must have had at least 10 shots from 30+ yards.

I'll admit the possession stat is a little worrying but I think that was more of a tactic from Hodgson. They needed a win and we'd look to hit them on the break, which we ended up doing a lot. We should have won my more to be honest, there were definitely some great opportunities for us. On another note, we defended solidly.

Overall I think we were average, which, being England, happens to be disappointing.

Oh we were bad, they weren't exactly brilliant either though and we have to remember it was pratically an away tie, and a intimadating one at that, if you look at France's game against them they had a good go at them in first half, it was only when the French managed to shut the crowd up that they started to dominate. We haven't played "well" as an XI at all this tournement or indeed in any of the warm ups however you can't really argue with the results, the only team we've failed to beat is one that hadn't lost in 22 odd matches before last night.

Well done Woy, managed the minimum requirement anything else now is a bonus. Notice how all the losers saying we shouldn't have taken Terry have suddenly gone very quiet. Milner needs replacing has been dog all tournament.

Loving the Ukranian medias reaction to the goal that never was, it makes me laugh how they can complain about that but not one of them has stopped to mention the fact that Milevskiy should have been flagged before they even got to goal. Justice was done.

lol

I can't speak on behalf of the other losers but my reasons for not wanting Terry to go were based entirely on non-footballing reasons. I'm sure most people would agree he's an absolute cúnt but I would go one step further and prevent him from playing for England because of that. I admit that could be considered slightly irrational and illogical but I don't care.

Can't argue with his performances so far though, he's clearly our best centre back.

Not sure of the current stat but I heard on TV that only 4 out of the first 14 games were won by the team with the most possession.
