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

[Icelander83]

England don't look like they are playing for a draw, it looks like they are playing for a 1-0 loss ffs

Which unfortunately means it's set up perfectly for a 93rd minute Gerrard cross, headed home by Terry

[Leppard]

England pretty good at set-pieces.

[Bababui]

Do you also say 'the England'?

We say (said) The Soviet Union; its more about what sounds right in the language.

[football_master_94]

england is currently making this awful ukraine team play like spain

They're hardly awful

[Astafjevs]

england is currently making this awful ukraine team play like spain

0 attempts after 25 minutes smh

[Marc Albrighton]

We are so unimaginative on the ball its painful.

[Leppard]

We say (said) The Soviet Union; its more about what sounds right in the language.

It was called the Soviet Union because it was more than one entity, ffs. Same with why it's called the United States of America and the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The Ukraine is wrong.

[Zoom]

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.

Well, I think we've all learned today just how stupid UEFA are, considering commercial violation carries a higher penalty than racist abuse.

[Wasma]

0 attempts after 25 minutes smh

and they have 7!

[daylight]

Why exactly are they awful?

They have a couple of real class players on the park tonight and 1 legend on the bench

Is it because you have never heard of any of their players?

[SeanNUFC]

Wow, a chance, a chance!

[sean_oc16]

Rooney /o\

[H.O.V.I]

Got to score that

[Andrew_]

Rooney you plonker. Lost me 10 points right there!

[football_master_94]

Rooney .

[ddidiodion]

We say (said) The Soviet Union; its more about what sounds right in the language.

That's because it's a collection of places like the Netherlands. It's probably for the same reason we say the Ardeche, dunno what that reason is exactly though...

[CaptainPlanet]

Carroll would have scored that.

[Woodmansee]

The hair put it wide.

[Leppard]

Should've scored that O.O

[Orzelek]

Big chance for Rooney there

Poor finish though

[foofighter23]

on a plate

[georginho_juventusygr]

Rooneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey.

Oh.

[el sid]

Should've buried it

[PMLF]

This English Pelé is a bit rubbish, isn't he?

[football_master_94]

This English Pelé is a bit rubbish, isn't he?

Welbeck didn't head the ball

[Leppard]

Hart

[ddidiodion]

This English Pelé is a bit rubbish, isn't he?

Doesn't have any trouble with his other performance level though, however old she is...

[SeanNUFC]

thank you hart, phew

[daylight]

The Dutch commentator here just said "good save from Green"....you see what I am up against

[georginho_juventusygr]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart.

[PMLF]

Welbeck didn't head the ball

I mean the other English Pelé.

He probably uses viagra like Brazilian Pelé.

[CloudYildiz]

The Dutch commentator here just said "good save from Green"....you see what I am up against

Lol he made that mistake few times before with other players

[Leppard]

England don't look like they are playing for a draw, it looks like they are playing for a 1-0 loss ffs

Which unfortunately means it's set up perfectly for a 93rd minute Gerrard cross, headed home by Terry

Almost .

[georginho_juventusygr]

Gerrard so indispensable.

[Icelander83]

Almost .

Wrong minute, hence just a test run

[Wasma]

this is as bad as the england vs algeria match in the last wc

[Bababui]

McManaman: "Superstar players perform at the highest level."

Rooney really does need to step up.

[Astafjevs]

Can already see England winning this.

[DandyDon]

Would it be sacrilege to say this Ukraine team look quite a bit better without Sheva.....

[SeanNUFC]

this is as bad as the england vs algeria match in the last wc

lol what? no way

[Leppard]

Ukraine just dominating

[Deltaroad]

Is it really that hard to pass a ball?

[ddidiodion]

Wasma fishing so hard and not getting any bites

[georginho_juventusygr]

England have learned from Chelsea.

[daylight]

Anyone else think that maybe someone in the England staff must be thinking "If Ukraine keep creating these chances and Sheva comes on with 30 minutes to go we are going to have a problem unless we get a goal"

[Leppard]

What happened to the Young that used to take on players and beat them?

[SeanNUFC]

Ukraine just dominating

But we are getting forward unlike v Algeria as hard as that is to believe.

[ddidiodion]

Anyone else think that maybe someone in the England staff must be thinking "If Ukraine keep creating these chances and Sheva comes on with 30 minutes to go we are going to have a problem unless we get a goal"

They've only had one reasonable one.

[CloudYildiz]

Is Walcott injured or can he play later on?

[Woodmansee]

We got this....
