Good to see Bender in the starting XI. International tournaments aren't as good without an amusing last name in the German side.

If the Greeks put the Germans out with another Rehhagel performance, there's no way the Eurozone will be saved.

I'd rather have Italy. Spain second choice. Just not the Croats. So bored of them.

Hope Parker's achilles holds up for 3+ games. Not that he was sensational today, but we lost our shape when he went off and we'll be fucked if Henderson is forced to play that role.

Hoping for an animated gif of that Ukrainian lad celebrating 

Pleased. If anything, I'm surprised by how predictable that was.

Love the Croatian celebrations.

 

I'm starting to find them very irritating. The plucky, emotional OTT little country act was fun 14 years ago with Davor Suker and the third place finish in France. Now I just wish they'd calm down.

 

f*** off.

Deserved.

James Beattie.

Mexico v Brazil about to get going.

We'll go through the entire Liverpool junior side before it even occurs to the FA to look at Williamson (who has spent all year training with two of the players England are likely to face next week).

Not calling up Rio, but it's not 'cause Terry is racist or anything. Nah. Footballing decision. Martin Kelly is just a better player.

This is starting to seem very much like being asked to support Liverpool.

Are Belgium any better than Sweden or Ukraine? They were terrible in the final third but there is a lot of talent in that team.

As for England, it's certainly a below average side but I think they can get out of the group if they can stop giving the ball away. Then I'll take a reassuring "defended like Lions" defeat to a superior side in the quarter finals thanks to bad referee, dirty cheating foreigner and/or penalties.

So what happens if Parker can't go? Anyone left on the standby list?

This is getting decidedly un-friendly.

Marcelo gets up, puts on his boot, scores a goal.

I always rated Barry as a centre half, f*** knows why he decided to become a midfielder and even more so of a f*** knows why he has dozens of caps there.

Easily the worst player in that awful performance against Germany two years ago.

If that puts Barry out of the tournament, then it's been worth the trip.

Going to really struggle to see any of the ball against France. 

Barry is so shit. Slow as fuck.

Decent. But Milner is still as irritating as he ever was.

Best result for us

 

Modric, Bale will be having 2nd thoughts now...

Give Harry an extra 20 mil and a Champions League spot and he would have spent all summer telling the media how much he admired Papiss/Ben Arfa/Tiote from the window of a Range Rover.

Fantastic result.

Hahahaha...Spurs. Brilliant. Friedel's face.

Loving this really.

Haha Spurs.

She's back!
