Group D-Day - England vs Ukraine & Sweden vs France (Gills' title, but Leppard's OP) 19:45

[Zvonimir Boban]

Sweden make it 2-0, time to let Sheva have a couple of pens.

[Redshift]

Sweden score again. \:D/

[Andrew_]

Spanish players brought in to my fantasy team

[Wasma]

ukraine will feel particularly hard done by not getting through now

[Leppard]

So, England definitely top?

[SOStriker]

I do love Sweden.

[foolsgold]

Walked the group . Am I right in saying, with France 2-0 down, we are through even if we lose 2-1 now?

[darren1983]

Who'd have thought England would win the group? lol

[Redshift]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!

[Thengil]

Christian Wilhelmsson came on at halftime and has been better than ever in the national team. A bit late in his career I must say... Great assist that led to the goal.

[SeanNUFC]

Engerrrrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnddddddddddddd

[cms186]

top of the group feel bad for sheva though

[ddidiodion]

Carroll has been great since coming on for me done more than wellbeck did all game.

You mean got a few knock ons to nobody and created nothing? He's been brought on to hold up the ball and not done it, seems a bit odd to say he's done more when neither did anything.

[sean_oc16]

Huzzah, England through and top of the group.

[SeanNUFC]

Roy such a **** manager.

[NICK_GIFF]

HUZZAH!!

Semi-finals now a plausible target.

[SOStriker]

How have we won the group?

Mario Balotelli to score 3 against us coming off the bench.

[NICK_GIFF]

You were saying?

[Marc Albrighton]

Hardly his fault everyone was back defending is it, he gets the knock on almost everytime and had we had runners it may have been a different story im not saying he a massive amount im saying he did more than wellbeck for me and offers something completely different.

[tony_cfc]

France were utterly awful tonight. Spain should have no problem beating them.

[CaptainPlanet]

Can we out-Italy Italy?

[englandmanager]

see all you bitter scottish on sunday

[bell]

Cheese eating surrender-monkeys

I have never seen a team win a group so uncomfortably BTW

[SeanNUFC]

We actually reached our target for once. Unlike last two tournaments. And have a chance of reaching the semi's.

[Wakers]

We were a bit lucky there. Still, I think what we learnt from that is that Hodgeson can give a heck of a team talk - and that the average memory of an England international is 15 minutes.

[Lermon]

should have been a 1-1 but the win will do Who'd have seen Sweden beating France.

[Boltman]

Jesus Christ.

England obviously been pouring over the Greek handbook in 'how to 5h!tfest your way through a football tournament'.

[Helarxe]

after the QF so that noone can be suspended for accumulation for the final

ty

[englandmanager]

we are gonna do a greece 2004

[SeanNUFC]

Jesus Christ.

**** off mate! don't see how that was boring.

[Helarxe]

Can we out-Italy Italy?

Will be a beautiful spectacle, a true celebration of the modern game

[metlika]

Out penalties next round methinks, usual England.

England have been very jammy imo

[Marc Albrighton]

we are gonna do a greece 2004

Good to see people not getting carried away

[Indaro]

Can we out-Italy Italy?

Italy haven't played catenaccio in years.

[bell]

**** off mate! don't see how that was boring.

It wasn't boring, it was limp, unimaginative and painful to watch.

[Big Geordie]

Will take the win and playing the Italians on Sunday. However, more than a slice of fortune went our way and whilst we look organized and hard to beat - we are still a poor side.

Will need to up it big style on Sunday to get a result.

[bell]

Italy haven't played catenaccio in years.

Nobody plays catenaccio

[Paul Bacon]

It wasn't boring, it was limp, unimaginative and painful to watch.

And you expect anything else? England have done well and got the results, but they have never ever been exciting to watch

[aggressive minor]

Credit due to Woy and England. Very rusty Rooney, but more flow with him in the team.

[foolsgold]

Got to admit, Gerrard and Parker have been immense for us. If the wingers had performed to a similar standard and kept the ball better with the full backs we would have looked so much better though.

[ddidiodion]

Rooney was getting into goal scoring positions, thats the main thing.

[Lermon]

England handed a lifeline, versus Spain and we'd have been out. Italy, there's a chance. Although it's going to be extremely boring to watch.

[Wasma]

gabriel clarke worst interviewer ever "is that the best goal you ever scored" "is that the easiest goal you ever scored" "what does it feel like to score that goal" always those same or similar type stupid questions

[SeanNUFC]

If you want boring go watch us at the last world cup then compare us now. You'll see what i mean.

[scott MUFC]

against Italy, park the bus, wait for Balotelli to get sent off. win 1-0

[Bababui]

Someone the other day mentioned about the teams with the fewest amount of possession likely being England and Ireland, tonight England were out-possessed 42-58%. Just goes to show what a misleading stat possession really is.

[cms186]

exactly, at least we're boring and winning games

[Andrew_]

Adrian so excited. Giddy in his chair.

[av3ry]

Well done England Hope we dont underestimate Italy they're a good side.

France ballsing up

[dudge7]

Is someone going to come up with this **** every time a team with less possession wins a game?
