I'm a Sad Panda.
Especially with the 4 best 3rd-placed teams qualifying, meaning that come tomorrow the teams will know what they need to be that and we'll probably see some rather guaranteed results.

That's fine, nothing wrong with resting players when you're almost certain of qualification.

Except that winning the group means we play one of Albania/Northern Ireland/Czech/Croatia and then the winner of group F (Portugal? Hungary?) in the quarters with Spain in the semis.

Coming 2nd means Portugal/Hungary/Iceland first followed by France in the quarters and Germany/Italy in the semis.

That first one is definitely easier. Being England we'll blow it to whoever, but why get yourself a harder draw than you have to?

No teams in the knockout stages will park the bus like Wales and Slovakia did. A bit more space and England's dominance will translate into goals.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

From yesterdays press conference.

Reporter: "How would you define success at this tournament?"

Roy: 'It's not an intelligent question – I don't mean to insult you – but it's not a question for coaches. All we can do is prepare teams, because what is success and what is not success, depends on many things. It's not really so simple.

'We could play ridiculously badly, look like a poor team, but sneak our way through to what people think is a successful position; or we could be really unlucky, play quite well and fall foul of a bad refereeing decision, an injury, or something that happens in a game of football, like we did against Russia.

'All of a sudden does that mean the team is doing really badly because they conceded a goal in the 92nd minute after giving a good performance; or is it satisfactory because you can see how the team is doing and that bodes well for the future. Who knows?"

Yeah the one question that was answered with a "yes" was "is Roy a retard for bringing Wilshere and leaving out Drinkwater?" and it was a big yes imho

I can't blame Roy; he's a brain damaged pensioner way out of his depth.

The FA shouldn't put him through this to be honest.

Have you ever watched football before?

Slovakia were weak on their left side, nearly all our good chances came from attacks down the right, so that's why England concentrated on attacking that side. After Slovakia brought on another LB it got mixed up a bit more.

Honestly, apart from the frustration of seeing chances blocked or missed, I enjoyed watching the match. I don't think I've enjoyed watching England play football this much for at least ten years.
