It could go horribly wrong but we have an outside chance. Winning the group is a huge advantage though. Like France we have an awful lot going forwards and are a bit suspect at the back. I still reckon that Germany and Spain will be there or thereabouts, but with a little luck ..... This. We're basically through to the last 16 now, and that's good news. But if we're going to realistically do anything in the tournament, we need to be winning the group. Doing so will probably (looking at how the games are going) mean avoiding Spain, Italy, Germany & France until at least the semis. Second place in the group means it's very possible that we'd have to beat them back-to-back-to-back to win the tourney. So Slovakia is a big game. And on a side note, still hope that Wales get at least a point against the Russians to send them home - they should be capable of that.

Happy in general with England so far, certainly more so than any time since the WC in Japan. There is a sense of more dynamism that is great to watch. Whether Roy is the best manager to get them playing is another matter, but his substitutions today were top.
Rooney like Pirlo in the middle, very impressed with him...ditto Dier. Think Walker and Rose are doing well but need to move the ball a touch quicker. I wouldn't be disappointed if I never saw Sterling play another game for his country.
Hope Wales get through, limited team but good to see them do well.

I am not convinced about Rooney in the middle against the top sides, he always looks like he will be caught in possesion and can't afford that against the quality sides.
Sterling has been dire and surely cannot be selected again.

Roy's substitutions made a difference because he got the team wrong in the first place, IMO!

Celebrations. What a waste of beer Or a good way to get rid of the by product of drinking too much beer.
