Round of 16

[RomanReigns]

The Swiss are gonna have our trousers down

Maybe but if their defence is like Swiss cheese we might have a chance

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Afro-Carribean heritage scorer and Irish-heritage scorer.

If England were left to English players to do the job for them they'd never qualify for a tournament, much less get to a QF of one.

If only we had more integrity like Cascarino playing for Ireland or Vinny Jones for Wales

 

[Lob]

Southgates dreadful managerial tactics, get ahead then drop back and defend what you have got when you should be kicking on and trying to score a shedful against a team that you are miles better than if managed correctly.

 

[davek]

Thought you didn’t buy into nationalism, David? They’re all just citizens of planet earth.

That's the point I'm making: if there wasn't a united colours of Benetton internationalist England team they'd be worse than Scotland and Wales.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I can see Slovakia equalising here yeno

 

[Drico]

Yep, but I can't say I'm gutted for Slovakia.

No. I'm as ABE as the next fella, but they played as dumb spoilers. I have no issue with smaller nations playing as spoilers - heck, Italy made an art form out of it - but you have to spoil with imagination. With wit. The Slovaks weren't good enough to pass their way out of trouble, so they should have gone long, with smart balls into corners, for runners, etc. But they were too dumb to do that.

This is not some Greece-like defensive display from Slovakia. This is like Ireland without Packie Bonner having a blinder in 1988.

 

[davek]

Yer cos Afro-Caribbean and Irish heritage people can’t be English

Not my point like, but...

 

[NathDogg]

Perfect excuse for the waistcoat to bring Gallagher on now, and let the Slovaks back in.

 

[Papa Shango]

Yer cos Afro-Caribbean and Irish heritage people can’t be English

We can't?

Oh thank god for that!

 

[heatmeiser]

Tho we’ve been garbage they deserve to go out for that alone

Calzona teaching them the Italian dark arts of football it seems

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

That's the point I'm making: if there wasn't a united colours of Benetton internationalist England team they'd be worse than Scotland and Wales.

Dave’s lemon has well and truly fallen off, here.

 

[Tommy Chong]

The Swiss are gonna have our trousers down

After the Bunga Bunga party they had at the Italians expense last night, that is a very likely possibility...

 

[DanEFC92]

If he starts with Kane and Toney up front, no. If Foden starts again, yes.

Foden starting again will be ridiculous

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

I look forward to the plot reveal.

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

Can’t see Slovakia getting back into this in a million years

Indeed. Absolutely impossible......
