Slovakia V England (0 - 0)


Recommended Posts


That was like watching one of those Dons games where we're playing some dross at Pittodrie, who have come to do nothing other than defend and escape with a 0-0, and from about the 25-minute mark you just know that we could be playing until fucking doomsday and never score.

 

Slovakia were dire, but for all the possession England never really looked all that threatening.

You can dominate a game by passing the ball but that's not going to win you games unless you have genuine quality.

 

Look at the best teams in the English top division. The only team you could argue that their best player is English born is probably Spurs. I've likely made a cunt of that and there will be someone I've forgotten but I'm racking my brains and can't think of anyone.

Can't think of any other EPL teams whose best player is English, at least not an attacking player.

 

There were so many times during that game that the English forwards were practically tripping over each other. I lost count of the number of times that Sturridge, Vardy, Kane, Rooney, Lallana, the Teletubbies, the Chuckle Brothers, Derek and Clive and Flanders and Swann were all standing on the edge of the penalty area, none of them seemingly with a clear idea of either their own role or indeed anyone else's.

'Nobody will want to play us'

Slovakia 0-0 England




Posted at22:13




England goalkeeper Joe Hart: "We all wanted to finish top but we didn't. We have dominated every corner of the pitch and every Slovakian player will be proud of that result.


"We are into the next round and nobody will want to play us. I haven't had anything to do in the whole tournament to be honest, we have been playing very well as a team.


"There is good chances being made, I couldn't criticise anyone. Some heroic defending against us, it is frustrating but we are through.


"We are more than happy with our squad and all 23 are thoroughly deserving to play."



Deary mie min.

Folk on here think England are going to win it too :hysterical:

The smiley definitely fits.

It's an utterly hysterical notion.

 

They've huffed and puffed.

Failed miserably to beat the two worst teams in the tournament.

And incredible good fortune by way of suicidal defending saved their skin in another game they never looked like scoring in.

 

Absolutely toothless and the most overated pish I've had the misfortune to clap my eyes on.

That gluepot Tyldesley is one fucking deluded balloon. Or clinically insane. What a fucking fruitloop.

Amusing.

It's why I said they lack width. You need someone to try crossing the ball early from time to time. Stretch the play. If your only wide players are your full backs then you're going to struggle.

 

England can moan that all of these teams sat and defended against them...what happened in their qualifiers?

You can't even grudge them it when they do win because they've pissed you off for 90 minutes.
