only group winner advances directly, there are 9 groups and the 8 number 2 teams with highest points will have a playoff.

Just watched the clip of "England back passes that led to Slovenia chances"

Honestly what the fuck. Are those really the best defenders you have? xD

Do I have to watch the England game? Can't I just be a good English football fan who doesn't care or watch the national team strugle to beat a small island we used to own and a few valleys in the Balkans?

No. O.K. I will watch the game. But after looking at Slovenia on the map I am now far more interested in how Trieste became completely surrounded by Slovenia. Reading the history of Trieste on Wikiepedia sounds like a far more interesting way to spend the next 45 mins.

edit: Some how I always manage to forget that Austria once had an empire too.

Lol yeah don't watch it. Shocking times England team is pretty lackluster right now, nothing going forawrd, nothing of note at the back. Midfielders like Dier who do not deserve to be professionals. Alli thinks he is Messi, Sturridge thinks he Ronaldo, it's hilarious. At least when Rooney plays striker you get someone who runs around and actually physically tries for 90 minutes. Wallcott also, last two games clearly proved without Ozil passing him the ball he is useless too. We need a rebrand out of 4-3-3 for a start and dare i say it we missed Sterling so much at least he takes people on, the one thing that any football fan wants to see, a guy with the ball going past a player!

I did unfortunately watch the game. It looked like those players have never heard of each other before let alone met each other or trained together, so disjointed. I feel inclined to blame Southgate already. Englad have never been the best team in the world. But in previous games we have at least been a team.

edit: Here's a fact I didn't know; Huddersfield Town won the First Division 3 seasons in a row (1923–24 - 1925–26). They have a fancy new stadium and strong (although it's only a little town) fan base. Maybe I shouldn't be so suprised they are in contention to make it to the Premier League.

If that happens, there will be huge riots. Southgate in trouble already for contiuing his job here, England looked awful in 2 games and im sure the press is having a field day. Playing with Rooney vs Malta and got slaughtered (won 2-0) played without him vs Slovenia and looked awful and didn't even score/look like scoring. Next up Scotland and a friendly with Espaniaaa. Yeah good luck Mr Southgate

We got wrecked 3-0 in our friendly vs Spain. Granted it was the first game with Martinez as manager but damn, they played so much better than in their last 2 tournaments.

Good luck

Yeah they have a really good manager, he made there u21 team awesome, Morata had a goal scoring record of like 12 goals in 9 games going into the tournament. Not sure if the Spanish themselves have noticed much of a difference, but the results sure look good atm.

Wait. Isn't the England team pretty much exactly the same team that you were hyping into the stratosphere just a few months ago? I distinctly remember you raving about how England would win the world cup because they have the best team since the 60s or so. The ONLY thing that happened to the team is a change of coach from someone you didn't like anyway to some random dude.

Well, they also performedc poorly at the Euro, as everybody else expected, but you hyped that team like they were the best thing since sliced bread...

That's the hype the English squad gets before every major tournament.

Which means at the minimum 20 years of disappointment.

Not all of it is the same team, not even the squad is the same at the moment. Back 3 and goalkeeper (which were the issue at the Euros) are the same, midfield has changed, in comes Henderson and Alli in a midfield 3 with the wonderful amazing player that is Eric Dier! Then attacking 3 is Sturridge Wallcott and Lindgaard!! That is pityful. Sturridge is either up for a game and scores for fun or he is just bone idle and annoying like he has been for 175 minutes of the last two games (he did ok for 5 minutes vs Malta!)

Issue is we went from having a good identity under Hodgson in the qualifying games and the squad was all playing the way he wanted too. The downfall of that is he did not give a shit about his opponents, he focused to much on his own players and how he wanted them to do stuff. The defending in that European championships were awful and that was our downfall, our attacking play wasn't terrible, we were unlucky at times but no excuse for giving the ball away for fun at the back and leaving big gaping holes. Don't get me starting on the marking for the Iceland game!

The England team from last two games has been a new system in which it didn't have a style and no one seem to know any other player on the pitch. I can go on and on, but there is issues needing to be addressed going forward for sure.

Tom Cairney
Little kid enjoyed his trp to Craven Cottage and was so impressed with Tom Cairney's performance he sent him his pocket moeny. So cute.

Footballers should definately be paid based on performance.

On a vaguely related note what the hell are United going to do do with Rooney. If he really is surplus to requirement and they are contracted to pay him £300,000 untill 2019. No other clubs going to want to match that for him. Been needed (arguably) by England maybe he will do the right thing and be willing to except less money elsewhere to get game time and stay match fit. But he's well within his rights to do a Demba Ba and just sit on the bench for the money. He's old enough to do it without fucking up his carrer and end up working in China.

....not that you have fucked up your carrer if you end up working in China.
