Group D Discussion - Ukraine, Sweden, France, England

[The Sean]

I think that tonight has been one of his best performances for us, in terms of actually doing the job he's paid to do.

I thought he was excellent against France too TBF.

Can't comment - I didn't see much of that game.

 

[The Sean]

Sweden ahead - England topping the group.

 

[wpdavid]

Real shame that Milner was the only player keeping up with Rooney just now.

Mind you, the 2004 version wouldn't have been caught up by the defender anyway.

Sweden winning itstl

Very nearly 2-0 actually.

TBH, clearly not match fit though, may have done the job if he had been. I'd be thinking of taking him off soon.

2 guys in the box. 8 English in the box and they get a free header from 5 yards out.

 

[grecian]

Good marking that.

 

[wpdavid]

Lucky. Marking not so much poor as non-existent by Parker there, who really isn't having his best game.

 

[The Sean]

And that's a goal.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Heroic defending my arse, he ****ing set up the golden opportunity.

 

[benchmark00]

That was a goal. Luckiest ****s.

 

[grecian]

Looked over, Terry makes a mistake, then doesn't clear it, will be an hero.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That extra official did his job well then.

 

[superkingdave]

tbf looked like there might have been an offside in the build up (the guy who played the final ball came back from an offside position to collect the ball) would need to see it agian though

Ha ha yep, Terry all over - gets caught out of position, has to scramble to recover and then gets praised for being a hero.

Yep, having seen the replay I reckon you're dead right. He was offside when that first ball was played.

yep only about 5 minutes ahead of ITV and all their technical staff who have just realised this

 

[Scaly piscine]

Go for a header = yellow card. Referees are clueless.
