Forster in ahead of Ruddy. Interesting.

Very dodgy on crosses from what I've seen, especially for such a big lad.

Baines starts at LB. Think he has every right to be considered the man in possession now.
Decent shot stopper, pish at everything else.

Of course he could have improved massively in the last 2 years.

Ronaldo 1 Sweden 0

Greece 3-1 up against Romania.

France lost 2-0 and Koscielny gave away a late penalty before getting sent off for twatting a bloke.

Ukraine vs France was an excellent game, Ukraine's first goal was amazing, and Koscielny was hilarious.

Be terrible if France miss out.

No wait, I mean "hilarious" there, don't I?

Love it if Iceland can nick one in Croatia. Away goal rule applies, doesn't it? Score draw would do them.

I'd like France to peg it back, only to miss out at the death with Ukraine scoring a handball goal. #justiceforIreland

Three a bit years after telling us no Germany player would make a full strength English side, ITV tell us no Englishmen would make Germany's line up at full strength. How times change eh?

I love how Ronaldo v Zlatan turned out to be quite simply; Ronaldo v Zlatan.

That was an incredible ten minutes though. Four goals in two of the biggest international matches imaginable. And who says he's not a big game player?

France seem to have saved themselves (still 15 minutes to **** it up mind) so no big side going to be missing.

Switched over when I heard Sweden had scored a second hoping for a great finish and Ronaldo just immediately ended it.

Ha, comedic marking there. Not once, not twice, but thrice.

Great head from big Merts tho, it must be said.
Yeah, the defending would have embarrassed my son's U12 side. 3 free headers in 60 seconds ffs.

Not our finest few days: outclassed by Chile and comfortably seen off my Germany 'B'. Looks like out stay in Brazil will be rather brief.

They'll obviously thrash us now, but it does look a pretty limited Jerry line up, it has to be said.
I'm not sure any side which can call upon Reus, Götze and Kroos as starters can really be described as "limited."

Also, is there a more over-rated player currently in world football than Andros Townsend? He's absolute toilet.

We have a pretty decent record of getting out of the group once we're there (never failed in my lifetime, nor yours, I'd guess) but yeah, as soon as anyone half decent crosses (ha) our path we're buggered.

Didn't offer much, tbf.

Was a typically Teutonically efficient job. Soaked up what we offered (which was Fanny Adams, really) and took their chance well.

They're an oddly likable bunch, Jerry.
