UEFA have a turnover of over 4 billion £ in the last 4 years, so I'm guessing they're fine with how things are at the moment.
 
The French have been shite. Why does Blanc get such props? He's been setting this French side up awfully.

Diarra and M'vila in central mid today. Wtf is with that? Two ultra defensive mids. No creativity. It's jarring to watch the French, who were so renowned for their creativity a few years ago, playing so bereft of ideas.

They also need to chop the older guard like Malouda, Mexes etc. and start breeding their fresh talent. It always annoys me when managers will stick to safer options (despite them having achieved little at the international stage), rather than develop quality younger players. The Dutch failed massively there, and so seem to have the French.
 
Worst performance so far but Gerrard and the back 4 were really really good.
Id rather have them firing than the front 5.
 
England were poor. We should have scored at least one, we had enough chances, even not counting the disallowed goal. Gutted.

Good luck in the quarters.

Our players kissing and hugging fans in the stands after the game was good to see. Such a contrast to the Russkies who left without even glancing at their fans.
 
You can't assume that Carroll would have taken up the same positions but if he had missed those gilt edge chances that were presented on a plate to Rooney he would be savaged in the press.
 
Terry is a whore and it was his mistake that led to that supposed goal-line clearance.
Fuck that overrated cunt.
The fact that he's even playing in the Euro's is a travesty considering what he said to Jar Jar's brother.
Doesn't it bother you lot that he's being praised after every game despite being shit?

Here's the goal Ukraine scored, have a look at Terry's positioning, world class defender my nuts:

Er, yes, isn't it obvious??
Just needed to vent after seeing the ratings some of the papers are giving him.

Example:

John Terry Magnificent performance with crucial blocks and tackles. His distribution was first class, too. Made amazing clearance from Devic - even if replays showed it was over the line. Rating: 9
-Mirror

John Terry: The former skipper showed he can still possess leadership qualities
despite being stripped of the armband. Raced back heroically to prevent an equaliser despite replays showing the ball had crossed the line.7

God that's bad!
 
Haha, fucking hell!

Stevie probably got, 'good performance from the captain, but we've seen him do more & will need to add his name to the scoresheet should scoresheet should england wish to progress to the semi finals'. 6/10
