relatively speaking this is a passing masterclass from englandxp

England look decent getting it forward, France look like they're running out of ideas a little. Wouldn't like to call this right now.

tbh this reminds me most of England beating Germany at Euro 2004

2000
England already doing better than the Dutch there.

Tyldsley not so much tempting fate as standing naked on a mountain, covered in warpaint, challenging the cosmos to deny an England win.

that was coming - England getting deeper and deeper trying to protect the 1-0

england's keeper is a ponce
― J0rdan S., Monday, 11 June 2012 16:40 (fourteen years ago)
that was a good goal tho, on the header
He is a ponce though - very dodgy half from the best keeper in the world
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 11 June 2012 16:42 (fourteen years ago)
going for a nap because im embarrassed about my provincial england-hating and close to apoplectic listening to some of this commentary. keep calm and get yersel tae fuck.

damn, since when does england have the best keeper in the world? i need to read more

England midfielders passing the ball to each other seems to have stopped completely since their goal.

They don't really xp - it's just something I've noticed creeping into the media the last couple of months, like Buffon, Casillas et al just suddenly stopped existing
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 11 June 2012 16:47 (fourteen years ago)
oh lol, okay -- sorry
― J0rdan S., Monday, 11 June 2012 16:47 (fourteen years ago)
Buffon and Casillas have never won The Best League In The World iirc

whatever happened to robert green anyway?
― Steve Youngblood (dan m), Monday, 11 June 2012 16:50 (fourteen years ago)
that was...ok from England. pleased for Joleon. Hart is a wanker. think part of the problem is that with Gerrard and Parker screening the back 4, one of them needs to take the ball forward and link the forwards more. but i'm actually kind of impressed that Gerrard's had the discipline to play deeper.
technical shortcomings of the players as a whole v. much in evidence. France aren't all that. neither of these wd compete with the better teams in the tournament i don't think.

Hart is the best England gk in many years and possibly world class but not best in the world.
England looked good for about 20mins but I assume that's it for the tournament now.

nah that seems fair but partly cos our goalkeeping standards have declined. unsighted or not you don't get beat on yr near post like that.
― 'Last Moments Robot' Comforts You To Death (Noodle Vague), Monday, 11 June 2012 17:00 (fourteen years ago)
Not a greatly entertaining match so far tbh. Sloppy from both sides, France disappoint me.

England play a pretty good passing game when they're moving the ball through the midfield from the srtikers back to the defenders.

Mexican wave again :(

they bloody love a Mexican wave at this tournament

can I just say it's v weird to my ears to hear it called "mexican"

or, rather, weird to my eyes to see

started being called that (outside the US) after the Mexico World Cup in '86

England are playing well, in a kinda South Korea way.

Disappointed with France tbh. They're not very good.

Both teams are well matched, neither look likely on this evidence to reach a semi-final.
