The countdown is fucking shit They’ve been right up Foden immediately. Will be an absolute ton of free kicks here.

Come on England, put it together.

I think Bellingham and Saka are lethal on the counter. I’d have started Gordon, but let’s see what happens. Hope they haven’t got a strong right side.

It’s an obvious thing to say, but beating Serbia should put us through. Edit: Probably better to say that I’d be confident in us going through even if we lose.

Keeper absolutely rooted to his line there - got lucky.

He’s got plenty of time. I think he’d be fucking great for us given a season with Ange.

Yeah it was weird from the commentators . Like, I can see why it wasn’t given, but it did also look very much like a forearm smash.

Eriksen having to come deeper and deeper. It almost looks like Slovenia have an extra man at times.

Danish midfield just disappears sometimes.

That was absolutely fucking rubbish, wasn’t it?

Oof - screamer.

Fair enough. I’m cooking and half-watching the game so have probably got them wrong. Although arguably the fact they actually have a top-class striker may elevate them over Scotland.

I know it was Germany in Germany in the opening game, but every single team has looked better than Scotland.

Nearly a brilliant oggy.

I have definitely started drinking too early.

Was my first thought - especially against Serbia.

Hard to argue with that tbh, they’ve apparently got the ticketing right too as almost every team has had a huge backing at their game.

Got such bad vibes about tonight.

Pougatch gets a beer! Always had a soft spot for Croatia, even before Modric, Kranjcar and Corluka. Back in 1996 we were playing on Regents Park after work and an old Croatian guy (60s) in full kit asked in broken/non-existent English if he and his sons could join in. Went down the pub afterwards etc - one of my fondest memories of that tournament.

I haven’t really enjoyed watching Spain play for years. Same with Portugal. Don’t think it’s the tiki taka stuff so much as the divey whinging cheating that’s always bubbling under the surface.

I’m rewinding this to see that clip of the beers again. Hope they make that the underlying motif of this Championship.

Lescott looks like they’re using some of those Lord of the Rings forced perspective tricks to make Gandalf look twice the size of the hobbits.

That shot of the beers flying is fucking majestic.

FFS.
