European Championship 2016

Payets goal though.... Fuck me that was a spanker!

Punch in the stomach yesterday letting that goal in the last minute.

We need to hack Bale early and the welsh will be a walkover Thursday.

Russians are nutters.

Germany are a force and favourites.

For the first time in as long as I can remember I enjoyed watching England play football. OK the result should have been different but in terms of the way we played I was pleased. Still things to work on of course, like millions of others I sat and wondered what the fuck our 6 foot plus striker was doing aking corners, I wondered how Raheem Sterling manages to play football at International level, I also couldnt understand why you would take Rooney off with 10 minutes to go. Rooney is and has been for as long as I can remember our best protector of a football, his passing and vision are miles better than anyone else in the team.

If we'd have taken our chances we might have rolled them over 4 or 5 and certain people would have been talking like we'd already won it so maybe for the best that we didnt.

The fan situation is obviously concerning, I say fan, what I mean is the mornic twats who fancy themselves as hard men ruining it for others.

Note to these 'hard men'. I've known a few genuinely hard men over the years, not one of them have I ever heard tell someone how hard they are or recount fights they'd had and won, and not ever have I seen one of them launch a plastic patio chair at someone as a weapon. Giving it legs whilst their mates are getting their heads stamped on, proper hard

I got France in our office sweepstakes. They didn't look great but with cash for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place I reckon I'm nailed on for some dough.

I got Belgium and wife got France.

Sterling final distribution was poor but worth keeping the same team.

The problem I have with Sterling is that it's a tournement and you might not get a lot of time to do your thing. Over the course of a season sure he can show flashes or real quality, but thats not good enough in a format where you might only get 3 games. I said at the time his feet move at least twice as fast as his brain can cope with, we seem to be brilliant at producing these kind of players and then giving them international caps. A hark back to the old days of bigger faster I guess. But surely someone should have clocked by now that technically, the bloke just doesnt have the goods?

I didn't even know who half the team were having not watched Premiership football for a couple years but I also really enjoyed the first half. Best we have played in a long time. I can see why Hoddle was purring as it was how he liked his teams to play and some of it was nearly sublime. The Rooney substitution did seem a bit bonkers too. You are right about the wannabe hard men too. Now we are threatened with being thrown out despite the fact that Russian Ultras, French Nutters and a local 'pen them in and fire some tear gas' happy police force are equally, if not more to blame for most of the trouble.
