we carry the dubious honour of being in first, scoring only two goals, and none against Scotland whom the others easily scored against

I did say I didn’t want a tense 1-0. Oh well. Fair play to my boss from the pub who brought his best mate who spent all of the 90 telling me how the Czechs would equalise, and then spent fifteen minutes after telling me how Germany/Portugal would put ten past us.

I’d recommend watching England with friends.

He had a very good first half but like everyone else he dropped off after the break

He did get more touches and had a shot, which *is* a big improvement. But he looks like he's running in treacle, they should've rested him for a game.

Honestly starting to hope we absolutely poo poo up this tournament 1-0 all the way to the final. Keep those two defensive midfielders on the pitch, Walker and Trippier alongside all the way.

Made the mistake of listening to a phone in on R5L this morning and there were some very angry England fans complaining about the performance against the Czechs. If England somehow scuffle their way to eye wateringly bad 1-0 victories all the way to picking up the trophy all that negativity will be forgotten in a nano-second and ARE BRAVE LIONS IT WAS NEVER IN DOUBT DID YOU SEE THAT HELMUT, FRANCOIS AND GUISEPPE?

No matter how poorly England play, it’s never worth listening to the opinion of the average person on the street about them. Abysmal.

I'm convinced that a lot of them don't actually like or watch football for the rest of the year

England set up to actually win games against decent teams and also still win their group at a canter without conceding a goal, better have a vox pop on Good Morning Britain on how Boring Gareth needs to stop playing holding midfielders because he ruined your barbeque by not winning 4-0 and doing rabonas

Maybe you should go for a walk instead, Nigel, it's nice out

At the risk of sounding like an appalling blizzard reading goblin the absolute worst thing about England at tournaments is the sudden emergence of professional England Fans who suddenly have opinions about how football should be played of the 'he should score every game he gets paid enough!!!' variety

They didn’t score against loving Scotland, and still haven’t played the consensus best lineup (Sancho), even once we’d qualified.

Miserly defending is good, but not being able to score more than one goal vs even dogshit opposition is going to be a problem. It’s not necessary to be terrible to defend.

It’s still coming home, but only due to luck.

It's not as if England had ten men behind the ball and were clinging on for a result, they were comfortable and controlled against compact defensive teams, and a tetchy game with Scotland in the rain counts for gently caress all except to a bunch of people who are fighting a secret war in their heads getting mad that England didn't win 5-0 to avenge Stirling Bridge

Getting mad that England didn't win by "enough" is the dumbest poo poo, as is deciding that whoever's on the bench/left out of the squad is/was the one secret ingredient to recreating the 1970 Brazil side (remember when it was Joe Cole, the English Messi)
