    Default Euro 2016 - England V Slovakia

    Not enough creativity or invention in the final third. A top tier nation like Germany or Spain would have found a way to score against a stubborn team intent on playing for a draw. If we can't top that group, we've got no chance.

    Yes that about sums it up. Lots of impressive possession, lots of passes into the box....just a complete lack of decent finishes.

    I think that a quarter-final knockout is on the cards, just like in the good old Sven days.

    Loads of possession but no killer instinct from anyone on the pitch. They looked a bit better after Rooney came on but it was pretty obvious we weren't going to score from about 70 minutes onwards. England were looking for the perfect floated cross with a perfect header and it just wasn't going to come.

    Fair play to the Welsh, they did what we should have to Russia because they played without fear rather than trying to pass 300 times in every attack.

    Usually i'd be pissed off..

    But atleast Woy made some good attacking subs.

    And went all out near the end.

    Couldnt of done alot more tbh.

    Slovakia were a joke. They get a goal. And they finish 2nd, didnt even try.

    Hope 3rd doesnt get them through.

    England are fucking shit. For a country that prides itself on having the best league in the world (Sky Sports' words, not mine) we are a joke. We haven't had a decent play maker since Gascoigne. Scholes could have been, except Sven refused to build the team around him so he could incorporate the rest of 'The Golden Generation'. The problem is, that squad is probably the best we've got. Every team knows that if they sit deep, England don't have the players to get behind them. We just shuffle the ball around and then sling hopeful balls into the box. Honestly, we're so predictable it's untrue. First decent team we play, we'll get mullered. Or we'll play well above ourselves and get knocked out on penalties.

    Like most people on here, I grew up watching a team with the likes of Hoddle, Barnes, Beardsley, Platt, Waddle, Gascoigne and Lineker. I know that they weren't world beaters but they were genuinely inventive players who could create chances and score goals. Now we're served this fucking dross. This just sums it up - James Milner has more caps than Waddle, Hoddle, Beardsley, Gascoigne and Platt. James fucking Milner has more England caps than Paul Gascoigne. It's beyond a joke. The fucking Premier League and Richard Scudamore are bunch of self serving twats who couldn't give a flying fuck about the England team.

    Once again, England have been over hyped for the tournament. The reality was that we are never going to do that well. Once we get a decent team, we'll see this teams real level.
