Me too but I'm sure we'll see those two and Slovakia through.
I wanna see Wales clown Russia and qualify for the next round.

Same. Though Wales didn't show their full potential in the game against us, they were positive in the game against Slovakia. I'd be surprised if they don't beat Russia.

Interesting line-up The Express (yeah salt needed) are reporting for the game tonight:
Doesn't look like a 4-3-3 team to me at all. Looks more like a 4-4-2 with a centre diamond with Wilshere up top, henderson and Lallana on the wings and Dier at the back. I like that Wilshire is there as he is the only creative player in the England team and it has basically been run at a wall for 180 mins the last two games and hope they get lucky so he is much needed.
The change in full backs is odd though, they had been solid.

It's interesting to note with all these changes, the only player yet to see any play time in the tournament for England is Ross Barkley... and the reserve goalkeepers of course.

I'm worried about the Welsh fans, if Russia are guaranteed to be out then I worry what their ultras will do. Especially after they've been encouraged by that Russian MP and kind of encouraged by Putin's insistence that it's horrible followed with a gloat about how 200 Russians supposedly beat 'thousands' of English.

I'm glad Henderson is getting a run out. I think we will need a solid, hard working box to box midfielder if we are going to go far in the knockout stages. Clyne deserves an appearance too, not sure about Bertrand though. Looks better than the starting line up for the Wales game anyway.
Yeah it's a worry but haven't heard anything relating to trouble in the run up to the game. Hopefully the majority have got bored now and gone home.
Stones?

The lengths people will go to smuggle a flair into a game. Is it really that important to you that you would stick it up your ass?
On topic- go easy on us England; I wouldn't mind seeing the quarter finals.

John Stones? Still in my opinion the best CB England have by a long way.
Anyway, whilst I'm not averse to us changing a winning team I am averse to changing a settled defence. I'm not saying that this is arrogance or hubris from Woy, but it seems like a risky strategy in my opinion, especially when we haven't progressed yet.
It's interesting that not more people seem to be aware that all teams could still win the group, no matter how unlkely that seems. It just appears that it's some sort of academic exercise that we all have to go through with ENG, WAL and possibly SLO qualifying from the group.
Slovakia are no mugs, they beat Germany and Spain recently!

Oh right, yes Stones too, my bad!

Yeah make no mistake. Slovakia and Russia are fully capable of getting some kind of result from both these games. It's still a very open group. But that makes tonight all the more interesting

It's as tight as a gnat's chuff . . .
Ouch. I though Del Bosque liked him too.

Good! It should be an honour to be called up to your nations team. Getting upset because you don't start isn't the way to go about it.
That's misleading as hell.
He's not getting thrown out, the article says it's just people calling for him to be thrown out.
Del Bosque already said Pedro apologized to him personally.
He's a little shit who shouldn't even be on the team to begin with. He's going to rot on the bench the equivalent of being thrown out but worse.
Hahahahahaahhahhahh speaking of this little shit literally right after del Bosque spoke to reporters saying Pedro regrets what he said just now live Pedro says he doesn't regret anything.

Do it please, he shouldn't be there in the first place. Saul, Lucas Perez, Denis Suarez or Aspas deserved that spot way more than him.

As an Albanian I am hoping for an England and Wales win today. Preferably with each with 3:0 results!
I also need all the rest of 3rd and 4th place teams to lose if they are facing 1st or 2nd place teams or to draw if they face each other.
I believe!!!

Yeah, I am hoping we can make it to the next round. Would be super exciting to watch Albania in the knockout stages.
Getting through with only one goal in 3 matches? Yeah, I think there are more deserving teams to get through tbh. But I get patriotism, especially on national competitions.
yep why is he playing over Rooney, our best player?

Rooting for Wales Russian fans behavior suck
As a football fan you should know better than to rely on England for anything, especially a raft of goals when under pressure.
Hope we can win 3-0, but l would feel better about it if wizard Woy wasn't casting magik spells.

I expect our jimmys might get jolly good russled tonight without Rooney in midfield.
Some managers release line ups early
.. Others until last minute possible.

They aren't under pressure tho, they are leading ground B. Also Jamie Vardy starting instead of Kane.
England beat Wales, Wales beat Slovakia so...England should beat Slovakia.
He's the only good thing about ITV's football coverage.

England tied Russia, Slovakia beat Russia, ... Slovakia should beat England. Is that how it works?
Regardless; I think England will dominate Slovakia.
