Posted June 18, 20169 yr After the misery and joys of conceding and scoring in the last minutes of the game against Russia & Wales, England play their final group game against Slovakia. A win will guarantee going through as group winners. A draw will also guarantee qualification. Predictions? Vardy & Sturridge surely to start.
June 18, 20169 yr Will be a great game and characteristically I'll refrain from predicting it. Hope we can grab a win though.
June 18, 20169 yr Am I right in saying that the Winner of Group B (England?) will face the third place team in Group D (Czech Republic?)
June 18, 20169 yr If we win the group we could play the 3rd place team in Groups A, C or D depending on the best placed ones. Plus I have a sneaky feeling Turkey could pull out a win against the Czechs meaning they in fact finish 3rd in that group.
June 18, 20169 yr Should be a comfortable win if we combine our first half performance against Russia and our second half performance against Wales. Of course with England it's never that simple... :drama: Vardy and Sturridge to start please.
June 20, 20169 yr Author Very dull game so far. England the better side, but yet again, the elusive goal ain't happening.
June 20, 20169 yr Author Lallana is such a gifted footballer. I just wish his finishing was a bit better. As a Liverpool fan I'm used to it :D
June 20, 20169 yr Author Dreadful, don't listen to the hype that we dominated the game. We did, but we had absolutely nothing. We could be playing until tomorrow and we wouldn't score.
June 20, 20169 yr Jack Wilshire was SHOCKING. The #ITVcurse strikes again I notice... (we hardly ever win when the game is broadcast on ITV)
June 20, 20169 yr I was bringing up parallels to 2010 Group C (English-speaking nation that isn't England tops the group, we play one of the two 'Slovs' in our last match and draw it, putting ourselves in second). Would have been stronger if we were to play runner-up of Group C which could have been Germany, I hadn't memorised the matchups so thought that was it. Group F is decent but it could end up being Portgual if both they and Iceland win. We were actually fairly good tonight - and I say that against my sweepstake team of Slovakia (who I'm incredibly glad are still in with a chance) but no converting.

We controlled the game from start to finish and Slovakia played for the draw, but we only had one/two clear cut chances for all the domination. We weren't patient enough when going through the middle (I don't think the crowd helped) and we had zero width down our left hand side. Shame as he would have got slaughtered, but the game needed Sterling.
June 20, 20169 yr Completely wasteful in converting chances. A titanic defensive resolve from Slovakia though.
June 20, 20169 yr Absolute crap from start to finish. It was very reminiscent of United last season at times :lol:

It was very reminiscent of United last season at times :lol: lol Typical England, they had a golden route to the semi finals potentially but they have well and truly f***ed that up now! If they manage to get past the Round Of 16 then France will be waiting in the quarter final to knock them out. Wales defeat to England has no effect whatsoever on the final positions in the group and I think they have a chance of beating Czech Republic or Albania.
