      Disappointed for Wales obviously, living in North Wales. England had too much power for Wales to hold out. Must give their all and get a result against Russia. Had so many disappointments in the past though, just like them too f**k up.

      You're from North Wales?

      I used to like you ;)

      Joking by the way. Whereabouts Dave?

      I am English so I am cheering England mainly, but I am sure Wales will win against Russia. England would have beaten Russia with Sturridge and Vardy on. I honestly really enjoy watching the Wales football team play football and cheer them on too because it is a home nation within the UK.  I feel like Wales were unlicky today, Vardy was kept onside only because it came off a Welsh defender and Sturridge is probably the best finisher from Europe when fit... You can be proud of Wales!

      I'm sorry, but he and Rose were excellent

      I don't think Rose was excellent but I think Walker did the job that he was supposed to have done. He was an excellent attacking outlet for England particularly in that second half. I still think Clyne is the best right back England have but at the very least he's been keeping fit without being played or injured so F**k it!

      I thought overall, the game was low on quality and low on tempo, especially from England who will need to quicken things up a lot more if they're going to get out of this group.

      Glad Sturridge won it, he should have started ahead of the hapless Kane and as for Sterling he should be posted back to Manchester the useless little runt.

      'Hodgsourous' survives by the scaly skin of his teeth (he doesn't really have a clue does he), just so happens it was an LFC player who probably, in all likely saved his career that few games longer.

      I thought that Ali Deli bloke was pretty crap and all, and Kyle Walker was overall probably England's best player - after Sturridge.

      Keeps football slightly interesting for the next few days.

      What I like though, is all the bitters on here kept quiet for the time being who are ready to pounce on England's exit from the tournament. The kind of bitters who, from afar have jumped on the anti-England bandwagon because most of their scouse counterparts do.  :D

      PS. I'd like to see Wales qualify.

      Disagree.

      England were in white by the way.

      Not the best game, but the stats showed England had the better game by far.

      Possession
      70%-30%

      Shots

      20-8

      Shots on Target
      5-2

      Corners
      9-3

      Fouls
      10-9

      As for getting out of the group with 1 game to go and topping the group, just need a draw to progress, where as every other team needs a win.
      I know which scenario I'd like.

      It was low on tempo because Wales were camped out in their own box for a vast majority of the game. For all the sh*te they were spouting about the English have no pride, none of our players would get in their team, how only they had passion; their performance was embarrassing. Apart from 2 free kicks Bale has done jack sh*t in this tournament.

      England will get out of this group no problem now.

      Was there actually any need to post this part? Exactly the comment I expect from someone else.

      I said tempo, no mention of it in any of those stats.

      The quality only came when Sturridge bailed the team out.

      @mrcaz, in fairness to Wales it wasn't necessary for them to play an open game. They already had 3 pts in the bag, and in their arguably toughest fixture they set-out for a draw. The onus was on England to chase the game if you like, and they made f**king hard work of it because they hardly ever stretched Wales. Our best attacking player was Kyle Walker! Down their flank who only ever upped the tempo with his runs down the flanks, the rest was tikka-takka shi**er shatter going nowhere stuff.

      That fecking sterling missed that sitter was hillarious. That's the very reason he will not be world class, can never score when the goal is wide open. Long may that continue. Shriek eas truly embarassing, did nothing the whole game, better off playing rugby. He made a mockery of himself. Hart fell on his arse trying to save the shot. Needed Stur and Vardy to bail the whole useless bunch out. Thought he was a movie star or something the way he took the freekicks. Stur got owl out of the shithole.

      I thought the tempo was fine. No need to go hell for leather, especially when soft lad put the wrong team out.

      There's something very embarrassing and pathetic about how England continue to have God Save The Queen as it's national anthem. Saw the anthems replayed just earlier and it's a terrible drone particularly when sung against the magnificent Welsh anthem.

      Why oh why is it not Jerusalem? Even though I'm Scottish, that tune and its lyrics make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It's not jingoistic, it doesn't glorify a victory in war and it doesn't assume monarchic support but it does tell a story about the transformation of a country and a desire to see that country a home for everyone. It's an amazing universal tune.

      Heard the argument so many times. It's not something thats going to change.

      Think we can all think of songs we like more or that are more apt.

      Jerusalem is that overplayed cricket song these days, in the same its sweet chariot for daft boys rugby.  Might as well all have them all singing 3 lions or world in motion for football.

      I defended Hodgeson in the past and called for Rooney to be dropped before, but he is a total mung bean for dropping Rooney now. Rooney has been doing well in the midfield, other than conceding a free kick that lead to Bales goal. Henderson doesn't offer enough in the middle at this level. Bertrand? What has Rose done wrong in the tournament.

      We can't go through the tournament playing the exact same players every game. You don't know when you're going to need the others so playing them now makes sense and it keeps the others fresh for the knockout rounds. I have no idea what the starting line up is for tonight but I had a feeling we'd drop both full backs, two or all 3 of the midfielders along with Kane and Sterling.

      I'm more concerned with Skrtel doing a number on Studge mate.  Roy doesn't do risky either so I'm guessing he's pandering to the media who have demanded a change but at least he'll have his excuses if it all goes to sh*t.
