Yes to both. £35 I think.

Italy are 18/1 to win the tournament?!

I forgot to put money on them. D'oh.

Rooney a 6? He played like Peter Kay in a John Smiths' commercial. Came on, belted it out of play twice, then slalomed forward with the agility of a steamroller to get dispossessed twice. The commentators said he was "finding his range" and taking the game by the scruff of the neck, so that's okay though.

Of joy?

Arrogance continued: You had Gareth Bale's freekick to keep out actually, you dandruff free cunt.

I worry about Rooney too. Clearly in his head he thinks he can drive at goal with the sprightliness of his 16 year old self, rather than as he actually does - like Neil Ruddock.

Wholeheartedly agree. I've surprised myself with my ragefulness at the culture of arrogance being cascaded from the top. Hodgson was incompetent not to start and stick with Vardy during the pre-tournament friendlies, but having identified players who believes are starters, or integral cogs in the team he's building, he continues to rotate them out even during the tournament proper. I don't agree with Rooney starting but clearly Hodgson believes him to be the main man in the team, yet he didn't even try to integrate his "best" players by letting them play together. In a fucking competitive game. This bled into the players, who played teams camped firmly in their own box with no urgency. Each time just assuming that the goal would come. The Wales game reinforced this fallacy. It's disrespectful and has resulted in egg on their face. Congratulations to Wales. They're not that great, and it benefited them that both Russia/Slovakia both felt they could have a go at them, but they still had to walk the walk. They were committed and professional.

He's so, so bad man. His nice guy exterior is kevlar because he should be gone.

2018 will be good tbh. Captain Rooney leading the line.

Like a wet shit tbh.

Again

Rooney

Genuinely like watching NUFC face a non-league side

If Slovakia score, are England third?

Over the shoulder. Shearer would have finished it.

Mental.

Harping on about it, but they could properly do with the width Townsend offers. So narrow.

Nah, he's Sissoko'd it.

Smart by Alli. Watching Henderson overhit everything so he goes wiiiiide

Henderson is the problem though. Slows everything right down.

Two shit-balls from Rooney.

Needed a change. Would have brought on Kane myself.

There's lots of Andy Townsend/Pardew type England fans in the crowd apparently. "just put it in the box, don't bother trying to create an actual opening, throw lots of shit and see what sticks"
