Euro 2016 England V Russia on and off the pitch ITV/TV3

Irish_rat

Hodgson went for Lallana and Sterling because he's tactically limited.

It's a tongue in cheek comment. Clive Tyldsley on ITV after Dier scored said, "Justice for the England 11" for some odd reason.

Feck, its hard to not get swept up in things on boards. I was wrong and im sorry. England are still shíte tho :pac::pac:

Really?

England pushed in the first half but completely failed to capitalise which is the what separates a good side from an OK side.

They should have been hammering them but couldn't put the ball in the net.

Also can someone tell me how is Sturidge playing in that team or any team for that matter?

He's the new Walcott.

Run, run, run, run, run but can't cross or shoot.

He's a sprinter not a footballer.

Kane was poor. Shouldn't have been set pieces.

And as for the managerial choices and substitutions. Hard to put words on what ever that was.

He wasn't playing.

I went to have a shower, and there I was hurrying to get finished before the ad break finished. I needn't have worried, I could have gone on holiday and I still would have made it back in time.

I'd say it will be carnage tonight in Marseille unfortunately....

Oh listen to the nonsense on Sky news. It's all Russians causing trouble of course nothing to do with us at all. Pathetic.

They couldn't hold on against a real awful Russian team. Poor stuff from them. Wales will be right up for it. Bale will give them nightmares.

Russia are decent in fairness. Not tonight but they are always competitive. Wales are overrated I think. I fancy England to beat them just about.

Precisely, he was so bad today, didnt even touch the ball!

Usual bland analysis on English TV.

Not one of them has the balls to say what really happened.

A "freak header" according to Dixon. :rolleyes::pac:

Aren't Russia missing a good few of their key players through injury?

The English giving out about Russian hooligans is hilarious, come on lads pull the other one, just because youve met some hooligans who are as bad as you

Feel bad for Vardy even though he's not the most likable person in the world, bags 24 EPL league goals and sees Sterling and Lallana get a game ahead of him. It's a joke Hodgson couldn't accommodate both him and Kane in the team. You'd have to predict he`ll start against Wales but who knows

This is the point if your a England fan your a target due to reputation.

I wonder will the FA want to exit UEFA after that.

They'll be missing a good few of their key fans through injury after tonight.

The ITV panel have found absolutely nothing negative in that England performance whatsoever tonight. Incredible.

Watching ITV is hurting my head. The management from England was poor, but they refuse to see that.

Yup.

My mistake.

Maybe Roy meant to play Sturidge.

Anyone care to guess the England v Wales scoreline?

After that display I reckon Wales could take them.

Russia don't have a Bale.

Qiaonasen

Lads what was that massive explosion around the 89th minute. Sounded serious.

chupacabra

ITV presenter called the Russian goal a "sucker punch" but good on Glen Hoddle for calling it as it was, a good yet disappointing goal. Loving all these English tears.

That's 9 Euros in a row in which England could not win their opening game.

Firework.... Just sounds extra loud in an enclosed bowl.

She asks Hoddle will Kane stay on set pieces and he gives a politician answer by not answering the question at all.

Russian fans are no angels, trust me. In fact it is them chasing the english fans out of the stands right now....

Russian hooligans are seriously tough, no nonsense thugs, a lot of them have done time in the army and that would harden anybody up.

The old violent English hooligan element of the 80's and early 90's is gone, replaced by a crowd raised on "lad culture". They've no problem when there's 50-100 of them standing against a few locals and smashing up a bar, it's a different story when they're faced with man to man fist-fights; the overwhelming majority of them will run.

Typical bully boy behaviour; stand up to them and they sit down and STFU very quickly.

Great header. Great jump, caught it right on the apex of the jump and did the only thing possible, which was to lob the goalie, and he does it perfectly into the corner. Textbook stuff.

England dominated against an incredibly poor team and didnt have the gonads to go on and win it. Not clinical in the final third and struggle on set pieces. Lennon and Souness giving it to them on tv3.

England vs Wales will be fun.

What has Lee Dixon been smoking/drinking all day. It's a pity Roy Keane isn't on the panel.
Hoddle on now talking through his hole.

Ugh, had England win to nil 9/5. So unlucky.

That same security that was non-existent at the final whistle when Russian fans charged the English/neutrals next to them?

adox

Jaysus images of English fans climbing over fences to escape Russian fans after the game does not make pleasant viewing, like the videos from the last couple of days of the two of them rampaging around the streets of Marseilles.

May be harsh on the genuine fans but I'd **** the two teams out of the tournament or impose a future ban on both national teams. I honestly think someone will be killed before the tournament is over.

Russia don't even look like the past Russian teams that even lacking quality they were still tough to break down. England were doing it in the first half and then just stopped. That first half squandering by England could come back to haunt them in the tournament.

And as Lennon pointed out the 2 players Roy bright on to shore things up are the ones at fault for the goal.

The way England controlled the game and ended up with a draw only highlighted their lack of quality & the poor tactics/selection of their management

I said it before, and I'll say it again...

ROLL ON THURSDAY!
