[Derek27]

Not quite sure at what point the match started, I was out having a fag.

I’m having a flutter on Slovenia.

You're as unpatriotic as Sunak and Farage put together.

That's some statement and I would say from Archery1969's posts he still more patriotic than Sunak and Farage put together. Even from Canada.

The England v Slovenia pitch is awful. Anything along the floor is bouncing like crazy
Perhaps we need to revert (quickly) to the 70's method for bypassing winter quagmires. Keep it it in the air.

Just being realistic, England haven’t won anything since 1968. Never understand why they start these tournaments as favourites or one of them. Let’s be honest, their shit.

I had to look that up. Are you talking about the Euro 3rd place playoff?

My eyes popped out of my head when I realised England were favourites at the start of the tournament and they're still favourites now!

And these tournaments that Betfair settle as you go are new to me. I've made a loss on the winner market but I appear to have a green book because my losers have already been settled.

England haven’t won any Worldcup or Euro’s since 1968.

...and hey won't win this one if they carry on like this. Possession one thing. Without pace, aggression and the ball in the net it's just froth.
Slovenia's odd attacks feel more menacing. But I admiit my judgement is clouded by inverted bias. ie I'm beginning to think we're going to lose this so a sucker punch.

[Crumpets]

You know it's bad when the commentator makes a note about us missing Maguire's threat on set pieces.

Sure Slovenia are bemoaning his absence too. Maguire means goals; just never sure at which end

[Derek27]

I think I'll skip the last ten minutes for a dump. Not likely to see the two goals that I need.

I'd almost forgotten about him. We sure don't need him anymore. But we need a rocket up our arse.

[greenmark]

TAA to right back. How wonderful!

[jimibt]

hmmm...

[Euler]

Another tough watch. Better, but still so predictable and don't look dangerous.

[Derek27]

I've never understood why fans boo their own players off the pitch, especially when their heading into the last 16 and need all the confidence they can get.

Never mind, Peru v Canada up next.

England’s possible route to the Euro 2024 Final…

Round of 16: Netherlands

Quarter Final: Switzerland / Italy

Semi Final: Austria / Hungary / Romania / Türkiye

France, Germany, Portugal and Spain are ALL on the other side of the draw.

If only they could play well, they would have a chance.
