Gotta say as today is the day of "playing without fear", England players look like they are pooping themselves.

Thought Ramsey was okay today actually. Few poor decisions and plenty of flicks (a few of which actually came off) but generally retained and used possession well. Benefited from playing further forward because he is just too jumpy playing in the middle under constant pressure.

Bale is clearly knackered. Him playing up top also doesn't work as in a side like Wales he never gets the ball at his feet facing goals. Laughable as it is, Robson-Kanu is a very important player for the side as he runs his bollocks off and holds the ball up on his own up there, and it lets Bale drift into space and get the ball in dangerous positions.

Good rearguard performance and it wouldn't have turned out with a win had Ben Davies not made that clearance off the line. Not the best result for England as whilst they should still be favourites to win the group quite comfortably, Wales could Spring a shock against them whereas had they lost today Wales would have been steamrolled.

Also every time Jonathan Williams turns out for Wales he looks like a really tidy little player. Really think he would cut it at a side like Palace given the chance and a bit of confidence.

How are Rose, Dier, Walker, Smalling and Lalana playing international football? Bog average players all.

And I can't cheer on this many tottnumb cuunts. Sorry pommie mates. Shame there aren't a few Gunners on there.

Anyway, back to the football. Wales to lose. England to win.


I will see your predictions and raise you a.....

Wales to win and England to draw.






WENGER OUT

Good free kick from Dier but awful wall placement too. The bald potato is off and Wilshire on. I can cheer for Jack! :D

Rooney and Kane were shite. Hodgson should have hooked Kane after an hour and put Vardy on.

Hodgson is the English Wenger. Brings on Wilshere to drive forward and then instead of Vardy to run onto his passes he brings on Milner.

Not picking on reputation yet Raheem Sterling starts, even though he shouldn't get a game on whatever measure you want to use.

Fucking insipid garbage but England were emanantly comfortable and probably did enough to win it in my opinion. Didn't look troubled until the goal - really puts the pressure on ahead of Thursday.
