1-1. Not too confident with that prediction.
A lot of hilarity guaranteed.

"Agincourt, Waterloo and now Donetsk."
Hyperbole much?

fucking going nuts already at this coverage "Agincourt, Waterloo and now Donetsk"
EBJT, Parker and Hart belting out the anthem, everyone else mumbling away like proper footballers.
Ribery getting ready to kill some cunt.

lol xp
power cut just ended here so i've missed the build up and as such am still feeling quite predisposed to Eng. After 5 mins of commentary i'll have reverted to wanting them to get caned 4 nil. Still 5 mins of being an England fan is the most i've managed for a couple of decades .
Reckon it'll be 0-0. Debuchy is p good i think.

It was like that at Agincourt too tbf

Townsend: "I think he should score"
It was well-crafted, just fell to completely the wrong guy
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 11 June 2012 16:16 (eleven years ago) link
We've got Ian Darke and Steve McManaman doing the commentary. I treat it as ambient sound with somewhat piercing tones.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 11 June 2012 16:16 (eleven years ago) link
Getting going a bit now - two attempts from France and a bad miss from Milner after some good play. We'll get a highlight reel out of this yet.

Very good from t'Ox

England have played more football in 15 mins here than in the previous 180 mins under Roy.

I'm holding out for at least 6 more mentions of "great feet"

this ITV commentary is so Alan Partridge; "i've liked this man since i first saw him.. good strength.. good body.. looks good in the shirt.. "

following this via radio. sounds pretty dull, is this wrong?

oh no Ray Clemence is injured o_O

this is p exciting compared to a lot of Euro/World Cup England-opening-games i've seen in the last 15 years.
― piscesx, Monday, 11 June 2012 16:23 (eleven years ago) link
Was just thinking how tyldsley reminds me of Partridge. Total lack of self awareness plus that forced nasal tone.

With benzema playing so deep france may as well play him behind giroud instead of as a lone CF
― pandemic, Monday, 11 June 2012 16:26 (eleven years ago) link
Why do England play like completing passes isn't important?

At this train pace I should be home for 7. Think i'll miss anything?

relatively speaking this is a passing masterclass from englandxp
― pandemic, Monday, 11 June 2012 16:27 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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.

england's keeper is a ponce
― J0rdan S., Monday, 11 June 2012 16:40 (eleven years ago) link
that was a good goal tho, on the header
He is a ponce though - very dodgy half from the best keeper in the world
