Euro 2012 - Day 4 - France/England & Ukraine/Sweden

[Loch Ness Monster]

Not Joleens' goal, that came from his skin graft.

 

[doctor_mac]

England are gonna win the World Cup!

 

[the count]

Great save by Hart

 

[Holle]

That was close.

 

[Fabio]

Bullet header from diarra. Saved though

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Great save by Hart

Cameraman finding it difficult to find an attractive French female in the crowd

 

[Red Astaire]

Gerrard has been great so far. A stunning (albeit) understated performance. I'm very proud of him.

 

[Red Astaire]

Fuck that was close!!!

 

[FoxForceFive]

God, Steven's brilliant whipping it from the right.

The only position I can feasibly see Stevie playing in Rodger's formation is the right AM, he'd be fucking brilliant at it. Also, Downing could cover when Stevie doesn't play, meaning he doesn't play each week & when he does it's in the position he's played best in throughout his career.

That ball just confirms it, he's amazing at playing balls in from there.

Saw a cracker at about the 15 minute mark.

 

[Holle]

1-1 Nasri

 

[dave2]

Great goal that.

 

[livvy145]

Quality

1-1

 

[FoxForceFive]

Nasri makes it 1-1.

Least they deserve TBH, they've been the better side, though not by much.

 

[doctor_mac]

England's sitting back cost them there.

 

[Holle]

Is he rubbing his face already?

 

[Fabio]

Parker ran about like a headless chicken in the box then

 

[hmmmmm1]

Because Roy Hodgson is a shithouse who sets his teams out not to lose rather than win

Or it could because, lampard and Barry are out injured and the other option in the centre is Henderson or jones

Agreed. I've been saying something similar for a while.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Good game this, I hate to say it, but the saggy face arl cunt may play the right tactics for this side, add in Gerrard's will to win with his country (almost certainly his last chance) & they could progress through the group & then Rooney can take the mantle of destroyer.

I just hope Carroll gets a chance, cos he's tailor made for this game.

 

[Holle]

I have yet to see a pass by Parker which doesn't go sideways.

 

[Squiggles]

Yep, also I wouldn't trust Parker, Terry and Lescott to be able to handle Benzema, Ribery and Nasri.

Did you not watch his tactics with us??

FFF - Your footy knowledge far outstrips mine. I just want them to 'Move forward', 'String passes together' and 'Find an end product' I'm a bag of cliches's but what the hey/ 🙂

 

[livvy145]

England were playing a flat back six then. I reckon the French will win

 

[hmmmmm1]

No doubt he is defneisve but with the options he has, he can't do anything else then play him there?

 

[Hansern]

England are played to low, and it will cost them. No pressing and Gerrard is at times a 3rd CB

As have I.

Ashley Young needs to get on his game. Everything breaks down with him
