Are England playing that walking football where you're not allowed to run?

England have been pretty shit, there's just no real fluency about the way they play. They'll be turned over by the first half decent team they play and that might well be Scotland.

Exactly, did someone tell Bale that 3 points were on offer for a conversion?

Have they got a manager yet?

They can have him for free if they give us the money back for Andy Carroll.

Lack of quality up front cost them along with some poor defending. They'll lose to England pretty comfortably too.

Good save that though, I haven't watched much of Scotland, they're a decent side just lacking that bit of genuine quality up front. They're dominating this at the moment.

Awful defending, half a dozen players around him and the forward gets a free header. Gotta love the dutch.

Too true, particularly after the tedious drivel we've had to put up with elsewhere, Jenas.....

It is, the Netherlands are going to be good to watch throughout the tournament, really attacking football and yet able to ship a goal against anyone at any point.

Pickford is an accident waiting to happen, really poor distribution as usual.

His wife is there as well apparently. Christ this is awful. Why did they keep showing it when he was obviously receiving CPR?

Pretty much nail on the head, despite England appearing to have a plethora of attacking options that pretty much any other manager would be thinking attack, attack, Southgate will stick resolutely to three at the back, two holding midfielders along with Kane and Rashford up front. It wouldn't surprise me if he stuck with Sterling too. At Middlesbrough his reputation was for being a dull, unimaginative, defensive and predictable manager.

Good move by Hendo, take yourself out of the running for being one of the five penalty takers when England depart disappointingly on penalties in the first knock out round.

I'm assuming there must have been a release clause in his contract for this to go through so quickly and easily? I'm guessing the clause he inserted was that if any other team show interest in him he can leave?
