Coming out with a win yeah, now they'll be draped in negativity and disappointment after drawing like that. Wales are on a super high.

An Englands Got (no) Footballing Talent tv show before/during every match hosted by Ant and Dec.
Phone votes are now open now to sub Rooney
Yep. Had a great year.

Was Rashford even on the bench? I skipped the pre-match and then went to make a coffee at half time. He could even probably have done okay on the left for Sterling. Even although he's better on the right wing.
I agree he should be on the team but I'd still take Wilshere, id drop someone else

Absolutely.
Well, given I'm backing both Wales and England and they're in the same group and it is highly unlikely both will be out, at least I'll have one team to support in the knockouts.
The crowds that go to World/Euro Cup stadiums are usually quite different from your usual league game. And most of the time it's much nicer to watch such an international game than a league game. And we've seen lots of footage of small children in the crowd
Really wonder if the French tried hard enough to get a list of known hooligans to ward off from getting a ticket
Seems like they've done a whole lot of nothing to prevent the violence to be honest.
Wales defence has shown some weaknesses, but England struggled to score against a non-existent Russian defence and Bale will have a full day with the English defenders.

He can be on the team, just don't understand how he's the first sub on a lot of occasions.
Makes no sense.
The BBC and ITV have been gushing over the impact and foresight of the substitutions from Deschamps and Coleman, so they should be completely savaging Hodgson for taking off Rooney (I'm not his biggest fan but he had a good game and was controlling things well) and putting on Milner. What the fuck was the point?

I think the problem with terrorists is undermining police ability to maintain order, should have called in the army or better still Foreign Legion.

I like Wilshire but he is not match sharp. He needed a couple of months of regular game time.

I disagree, if he's played more games this season yeah maybe but less than 2 games worth. He shouldn't be there. Noble, drinkwater even townsend should have gone.

How do the English view Roy? I've never really like him and I'm not just saying that because I'm Scottish.
He's just... boring?

You're right, but have you seen Russian league games? Their ultras don';t just show up on international tournaments. They're all over Russia domestically.

Out of Rooney, Kane, Vardy, Sturridge and Rashford, Kane should be the last one off the bench. He's been in poor form for a while now and doesn't offer enough when he's not scoring.
There were some flares before that, and then the fireworks bomb. And then the rioting.

The visa suspension of known violent hooligan is done by the country where they came from, so in this case Russia/England, it's not the host country job to filter that. If you're going to blame someone, blame those countries.
Nothing happened near the stadium but it's starts in the Vieux nice lol... wtf:

As much as I've slated the English hooligans in this thread, it has to be said that the Russian thugs are really going above and beyond with their despicable behaviour.

Fireworks being set off in the stadium
You're right. They definitely need to bring in more figures of authority and crack down hard on anything happening. Zero tolerance, arrests, prove a point.
Oh fireworks, loool, Jesus I dropped everything and stood still when I heard it.
he's a chimp who's been given keys to a Ferrari but insists on using square tyres.

Nah he never seems to get blamed like other England managers. Living off taking fulham to an Uefa cup final.

Boring would be an upgrade, he's actively terrible and constantly picks players based on which PL team they play for rather than form.
It was a flare... Typical in eastern Europe to use (it's banned in most of the world)
I agree, but he suits Roy because he's comfortable playing on his own up top, whereas none of the others are really.
Unfortunately, if he's as shit as he was tonight, everything falls apart upfront.
I keep seeing random twitter junk about shit like "the English threw flares at the Russians first", and "It's because the English booed during the Russian Anthem".
A flare did go off in Russian section after England scored....

All the tactical nous of stunned duck.
I think the UEFA is at least partly to blame here. They don't want police in the stadium because it looks bad, so everything you get are underpaid "securities" who for good reason can't be arsed to stand against several thugs.
Hopefully that will change for Russia's next game. French police usually isn't squeamish...

You asked the question at the wrong time, to be fair. If England had got the win tonight you'd have got more reasonable reactions.

His sub decisions tonight were total shite. England should have been pushing furiously for the second. That Russian defence was asking to be taken to the sword all game.
Possibly but any time I see him he lacks any charisma.
He has done a decent job in fairness, after the 2010 world cup it was difficult to see who would replace the last generation of players but now England have one of the youngest squads in the tournament and are capable play good football.
There aren't that many great English managers around. Managers like Eddie Howe were not ready when Roy Hodgson was hired.

I don't think so. People have disliked Roy for some time, I can go back from before this match and find you a tonne of discontent.
We were so similar to the French tonight. No identity whatsoever. Are we wide or narrow? Do we play short or long? Are our fullbacks attacking or defensive? Is Kane a deep-lying centre forward or a wide targetman? Why is Kane taking set-pieces? Why isn't Delle Alli doing any running? Why Sterling and Lallana getting near the starting line-up? Why, why, why, Roy?
Where are these so called 'positives' every pundit and player is waffling on about? We couldn't score in open play against a seriously weakened Russia team. Yes, Rooney wasn't 'bad' but his style is so negative, even Wilshere knows how to play the simple passes instead of playing these ridiculous wide passes into useless players like Sterling. He should be a sub when we're 2-0 up.
If Rooney HAS to play we can still put out a good side.

Roy won't do it though.
Not an excuse to start charging the English fans...
Neither is booing during the anthem an excuse.
