can I just say it's v weird to my ears to hear it called "mexican"
― Steve Youngblood (dan m), Monday, 11 June 2012 17:17 (fourteen years ago)
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.

Dullest, slowest game so far

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

Have Uefa got it in for England?

making a substitution is an epic task in these Euros

Lovely strike from Cabaye

macca not even pretending any more, using "we" when analyzing england's play & upcoming games
― Steve Youngblood (dan m), Monday, 11 June 2012 17:50 (fourteen years ago)
there's a couple of hours I won't be getting back
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 11 June 2012 17:50 (fourteen years ago)
what a horrible game for a neutral.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 11 June 2012 17:50 (fourteen years ago)
lol just slept thru the second half

is the heat a factor? that was a dreadful game
― Michael B Higgins (Michael B), Monday, 11 June 2012 17:53 (fourteen years ago)
england reflecting their manager hey clive? don't tempt me.
― Chris, Monday, 11 June 2012 17:54 (fourteen years ago)
Both sides looked pretty sluggish.

i think that was yr archetypal "two teams frightened to lose with limited resources at their disposal" match
― 'Last Moments Robot' Comforts You To Death (Noodle Vague), Monday, 11 June 2012 17:54 (fourteen years ago)
man that was deadful

dreadful but made me feel dead
and yet still one of the better England tournament performances of the last decade :\

Most valuable fact I got from the Dutch commentary: Theo Walcott writes children's books and has published four already. Had no idea o_O

LBI i've took the piss out of the books Theo's "written" on one of the Prem threads in the past i think

I've seen 'em LBI. They're not great.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 11 June 2012 18:01 (fourteen years ago)
tbf i thought the first half was good, the second was miserable. i think some combination of welbeck, ox, young, henderson, wilshere, cleverly etc could combine england's first nice passing move in 2014

lol
― 'Last Moments Robot' Comforts You To Death (Noodle Vague), Monday, 11 June 2012 18:03 (fourteen years ago)
lol but true
sorry MW but anything I felt towards Macca at the end has been replaced by white-hot loathing of Alexi Lalas being argumentative with Ballack & Martinez when both were criticizing England's tactics
― Steve Youngblood (dan m), Monday, 11 June 2012 18:08 (fourteen years ago)
srsly i'd watch the half hour i missed on ITV+1 but i'm not that much of a masochist
― Mexès Coleslaw Massacre (Noodle Vague), Monday, 11 June 2012 18:10 (fourteen years ago)
Dunno how England can be dissatisfied with that really, but I'd worry about the Ukraine game. Was a bit like a mediocre Premiership game.
Neither team is getting beyond the second round.
― Matt DC, Monday, 11 June 2012 18:10 (fourteen years ago)
Well done woy: organised, but grim and unexciting.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 11 June 2012 18:11 (fourteen years ago)
we've got "international" class players who can't trap a ball without it bouncing a yard off them tbf, options was limited
― Mexès Coleslaw Massacre (Noodle Vague), Monday, 11 June 2012 18:13 (fourteen years ago)
no lie tho, one of the better performances from Gerrard in an England jersey, at least until i fell asleep
― Mexès Coleslaw Massacre (Noodle Vague), Monday, 11 June 2012 18:14 (fourteen years ago)
But Roo is coming back! :-)

by white-hot loathing of Alexi Lalas being
Mind you, I don't mind Macca nor Ballack but my hatred of Lalas borders on irrational. His self-assessment and my assessment of him differ by miles and he never fails to be a smug dick about stuff esp when he's clearly wring or talking out his ass. At least Wynalda's kind of funny.
