[football_master_94]

Comparing Milevskiy to the Boss :o

[Leppard]

That wasn't too far away...

[georginho_juventusygr]

Good shot.

[Wasma]

isnt there a curse that england never wins a game thats on itv?

[SeanNUFC]

This is going to be a shocking performance it looks like.

[Marc Albrighton]

Played us off the park so far, were just sitting back AGAIN.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Van Persie would score that.

[SeanNUFC]

ffs rooney again

[Andrew_]

Anything else on?

[georginho_juventusygr]

Rooney.

[Charlesbeams]

Sweden hit the post

[ddidiodion]

ffs rooney again

He's only touched the ball twice? Some of you ****wits need to calm down, it's been 10 minutes ffs.

[Woodmansee]

Nice play..

[Andrew_]

Sweden should be 1-0 up.

[Manouche]

Toivonen gets past Lloris and hits the post !

[Marc Albrighton]

Hes had a rusty start sure but if anyones going to open up their defence its going to rooney surely.

[Leppard]

Jesus. Everyone missing the ball in the box.

[football_master_94]

Day-vich

SMH.

[Zoom]

Does anyone else think it's a bit silly that Ukraine have to wear the away kit at home

[SeanNUFC]

Hard to be settled when watching us.

[Woodmansee]

Rooney starting to find his touch.

[Bababui]

Ashley Cole now the England leader in caps at WCs and ECs at 21 passing Shilton and Beckham.

[ddidiodion]

Ukraine are going to be dangerous on the counter, we seem to be pushing forward more than usual now.

[Icelander83]

Ashley Young now the England leader in caps at WCs and ECs at 21 passing Shilton and Beckham.

Cole, surely?

[SOStriker]

Ashley Cole.

[Leppard]

Does anyone else think it's a bit silly that Ukraine have to wear the away kit at home.

Well, technically, Ukraine are away.

[darren1983]

Young? Think you mean Cole?

[Wasma]

Ashley Young now the England leader in caps at WCs and ECs at 21 passing Shilton and Beckham.

say what now?

[ddidiodion]

Ashley Young now the England leader in caps at WCs and ECs at 21 passing Shilton and Beckham.

Ashley Cole surely?

Edit: what they all said.

[Bababui]

Apologies..Ill edit it

[Bababui]

I cant even blame alcohol :/

[Redshift]

England losing posssesion a lot. Looks like they're too desperate to get it forward unlike the other games.

[Bababui]

Dont let these young Ukranians get the first goal. What a boost it would be to them.

[SOStriker]

Glen Johnson, please don't let your man cut inside anymore, thanks.

[Leppard]

Why do commentators sometimes refer to Ukraine as 'the Ukraine'?

[Zoom]

lol, you could also say that technically and more logically, they aren't. I think they should make an exception for the host nation for obvious reasons. The majority of the crowd are here to see the home team and are wearing a different colour to them.

[Jonno-Blood]

This hasn't been the start we were all hoping for...

[Andrew_]

Does Gerrard actually do anything?

This hasn't been the start we were all hoping for...

But the one we all expected?

[foolsgold]

Didn't expect it tbf.

[Bababui]

Why do commentators sometimes refer to Ukraine as 'the Ukraine'?

Because it sounds more natural in English. I do it too.

[football_master_94]

Getting closer

[SeanNUFC]

Goddamn.....

[daylight]

Glen Johnson, please don't let your man cut inside anymore, thanks.

That is why we were speaking in the England thread why they would double up on Konoplyanka,a really great talent and already doing a job in this game.

[Leppard]

I agree with you that Ukraine should be the 'home' team but I don't think the fixtures are done logically. I also don't think UEFA care about what color the fans are wearing.

[Wasma]

england is currently making this awful ukraine team play like spain

[georginho_juventusygr]

Young! What are ya doin'?

[Leppard]

Because it sounds more natural in English. I do it too.

Do you also say 'the England'?

[Deltaroad]

Pass pass loose. Pass pass loose. Then long ball loose, long ball, loose.

[SeanNUFC]

Good run by Johnson

[Redshift]

Have they let the band in?
