There's no salt. It"s all too predictable for a England fan.

No England fan really believes we will win any game, sometimes we get presently surprised. Being an England fan = being a pessimist

 

[Jarnet87]

England are going to always fail until they hire a manager who gives no fucks what the media says and picks his own side based on form and how he wants the team to play. We will be seeing this lot of players for at least 3-4 more tournaments.

 

[massivekettle]

Sturridge is arguably England's most talented player. I'm scared now.

Meh. Will wait to see how this unfold, but not impressed by the lack of chemistry between English midfielders and strikers.

And Wales will be pumped and playing with confidence.

 

[pbsapeer]

Wales pushing higher already

 

[KurtSloane]

Early Sturridge injury

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Hodgson finally waking the fuck up. Now let's have a nice 1-1 so I can feel satisfied either way.

 

[wolfwolfwolf]

Switching to a diamond by the looks of it.

 

[TheChamp]

If the score stays the same we have won 0 out of 5 tournament games under Hodgson.... nothing more needs to be said

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Even our Belgian brothers are shitting the bed. There is no rest for the Dutch.

VinGod Janssen is gonna lead us to glory in 2018

 

[Horseress]

Hart is the classic "miraculous" keeper: can do the impossible but can't do the basics consistently. Not enough

 

[the_milkybar_kid]

Sterling has been a massive flop all season and gets picked for England. As well as Rooney playing as the lynchpin of the team it tells you everything you need to know about Roy Hodgson. Should have been sacked years ago. Scrap that, shouldn't have been given the job in the first place. Luckiest manager in football.

 

[El Topo]

German commentator seems to have forgotten that there's another match, keeps talking how England is out if they lose.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Personally, I think they need to go for a big name established coach from outside of England. Someone who has won at the highest international level. Or even get Wenger.

Someone who isn't going to be hung up about any personas and is a winner and has some progressive tactics and mentality for the game. Not the same old English managers.

I agree. For so long there was this talk about needing an english manager, then the wheeler dealer himself dodged or evade tax - i can never remember which - and basically ruled himself out of it...and there isn't anyone else at a particular level. I don't think Wenger would want to take on another big coaching job at his age, I think he'll see out his Arsenal contract then move upstairs.

I feel Simeone would be good because he'd kick te shit out of some players and suffer no fools but I don't think he'd take the job for a second. If Ancellotti hadn't gone to Bayern I'd like him

 

[stay gold]

Bale making Walker look slow ffs, the guy is rapid.

 

[CrayToes]

Meh. Will wait to see how this unfold, but not impressed by the lack of chemistry between English midfielders and strikers.

That's because England's midfield is distinctly average. Their strikers will need to carry them.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

Hodgson probably realising his job is on the line.

I may not have fingernails left in 45mins.

Thank God he's come to his senses...

 

[JDB]

German commentator seems to have forgotten that there's another match, keeps talking how England is out if they lose.

He's just being realistic here.

 

[Damerman]

Welsh have nothing to lose here, hope they attack rather than defend the lead.

 

[gutter_trash]

tuning in.............. wow I missed the goal. Was it a nice one?

 

[GeeTeeCee]

No England fan really believes we will win any game, sometimes we get presently surprised. Being an England fan = being a pessimist

As a Newcastle fan, pessimism and the steadfast belief that we'll never win a game is a skill I've honed well during the league season.

 

[BossDarkseid]

tuning in.............. wow I missed the goal. Was it a nice one?

Yeah, really great free kick.

As much as Hart could have done better, Bale still did very well.

 

[D4Danger]

cross the fucking ball you useless twat

 

[faridmon]

Is Sterling the best UK has? And I complain about Aguero...

WTF?

 

[JP]

tuning in.............. wow I missed the goal. Was it a nice one?

It was a Gareth Bale goal.

 

[moojito]

tuning in.............. wow I missed the goal. Was it a nice one?

There's a gif a few posts back

 

[Shito]

England 0-1 Wales

 

[Syder]

This is like that anime trope where someone takes off their weighted clothing.

England were deliberately handicapping themselves by playing Sterling and Kane.

Now Vardy is going to go Super Saiyan.

 

[knavish]

we arent salty we knew this was going to happen. this is exactly whats expected when an owl impersonates a football manager

 

[g0tm1lk]

WTF?

In ManCity he's good, in the national team he is NOT.

Looooooooooool. Im dying at work.

Simeone would be great but he would want some club success with Athletico before he leave there I reckon.

I thought Klopp would have been a very good fit for the England team. Or Benitez.

Whoever it is, they need to speak fluent English too. Im not sure about Simeone.

Guy has more golden gloves than anyone in PL history I believe. He can do the basics.

 

[Irminsul]

Well, then it probably was a good idea to stick with the Austrian commentators after Steffen Simon was perplexed about Romania's pen yesterday...

 

[Jabo]

Sturridge and Sterling are overrated as fuck by Liverpool fans. This is all your fault.

 

[Beefy]

Walker can't cross the ball.

 

[faridmon]

In ManCity he's good, in the national team he is NOT.

Really? Don't follow the Argentinian National team, but I find that fact very surprising.

 

[BossDarkseid]

if Williams isn't rugby tackling him

At times we can feel a bit Arsenal-y in that we try to walk it in, but I guess with Kane off I'm not sure we've got anyone who's really good from 30+ yards out?

 

[Ghost]

Watching Roys England doesn't make me want to sack him, it makes me want to let him have the job for life and just give up on English football all together.

 

[Undead]

Roy looks more and more clueless every time the camera goes on him

 

[GoldenCrow]

Hart is the classic "miraculous" keeper: can do the impossible but can't do the basics consistently. Not enough

I think that sums him up perfectly. Always the simple stuff he slips up on. Really poor at free kicks.

 

[JP]

We're hardly looking like the greatest team in the world but it's good tosee Wales looking a bit more poitive this half.

 

[Tambini]

These Tottenham players are doing my head in

 

[CrayToes]

Sturridge and Sterling are overrated as fuck by Liverpool fans. This is all your fault.

Sterling is not overrated by Liverpool fans lol.

 

[Reckheim]

Guy has more golden gloves than anyone in PL history I believe. He can do the basics.

Yeh, I don't think that goal was on the goalie, outside of standing on that particular side he couldn't do much more.

 

[chicko1983]

Its a weird feeling, I now want England to score so I win my bet. But I want Wales to win!

 

[faridmon]

All these Spurs are playing gash.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Has the ref booked ANYONE so far?

VAAAAAAARDY PARTY

 

[CrayToes]

Fuck

 

[Beefy]

Vardy!!!!!
