My friends thought England were “incredible” and “managed the game from start to finish.” :lol:

 

Happily pointing out to them they will need to find another 3 or 4 gears to match Italy or Belgium if they come up against them.

I've only seen the last 20 minutes.  I'll watch the whole game later in the morning.  My particular focus will be on Modric.  For me, he is massively over-rated but happy if he proves me wrong.

Nothing to see here

It’s a first game. In 30 degree heat. They did a job. If we do that I’ll be delighted.

It’s 27 and they are both used to it. 
It’s going to be 18 and to rain on Friday which should suit us.

England weren't great but are capable of better. Croatia made one mistake and were punished but they missed a few chances. I'm sure they'll improve too.

I'll be delighted too, but I won't be claiming we were excellent.

Agree. They weren’t great. But never really looked in trouble and did enough. All you can ask for a first game.

Watch it before bedtime, make sure you put any cups or tumblers down before it reaches the twenty minute mark.

The only thing they managed was to give the BBC panel the vinegar strokes. 

You’re braver than me Jonno. I couldn’t put myself through listening to the BBC panel.

Yep, I'd hate to be the cleaner wiping that studio floor. It'll be like shovelling tadpole spawn up. A proper slip hazard.

I hope we have a go at them. It’ll be massive if we can get 3 points.

I do too. I find FoS a bit of a dirge.

Let’s hope so, England’s defence is the weakest part of their team. Get crosses in on the GK and the odd bump at corners. The Scotland fans should target him too the way the Geordies do.

For the first time at a tournament since 1990 I actually feel confident that we have goals in the team. Robertson, Tierney, Adams, McGinn are all dangerous going forward. Would really love to see us score a couple tomorrow.

Him and number 8 are a couple of lazy *******s. And very slow.

Definitely, although any kind of win is acceptable. Nothing to fear in this group.

They call him dinosaur arms

 

Fud gets so psyched up playing Newcastle he ends up being an easy target and makes a complete dick of himself

Most people say that about Modric.  I'm just not one of them.  Maybe I only see him on bad days.

 

In contrast, Sterling's crown seems to have slipped yet I think he is brilliant.  I'll be delighted if England don't select him against us.

Get someone to impersonate a geordie at the first opportunity 😆. Wind them up when the fans boo also, do whatever it takes to win in this match especially.

This is where I am. To be fair England often start tournaments slowly and improve. This is a strange group, where the next round draw makes it better to come 2nd than win. The media hype and frenzy is ott, much worse than our own was in the run up to Argentina 1978.

There seems to be a bit going on behind the scenes for him at club level. I agree, I think Sterling is a terrific player and despite his critics I also always thinks he comes across really well in interviews.

Could do with Austria North Mac being a draw as one of these will finish 3rd in their group imo and don't fancy either to beat Holland or Ukraine

Haha, yeh!! At least that's just a sport related question, some of the crap written about him is a joke. 

 

Obviously I don't know the guy but anytime I've heard him speak he comes across as quite a shy guy actually who's stuck his head above the parapet to speak for what he believes in. Good on him I say, and he's ruffled some folks feathers along the way then it says more about them than him.

 

Hope he plays terribly against us, mind.

It's an away strip.    Looks dull.   Not rediculous looking, not bad.   I'd wear it.

I dont know the Denmark v Finland game there was comments about would a Lineker have scored that chance and the likes. This commentator so far though has only spoken about the game. Hartson is awful though

A truly magnificent, crushing, era-defining 1-0 win that will become part of Folklore for a thousand years.

 

Hands on the cup boys.
