    I’m an England fan but I hope they get battered by whoever they play in the last 16, just so I don’t have to watch any more of this insomnia-curing boredom.

    I am not going to be able to watch the second half, but this start has been brutally slow. I am watching in the US on Fox and the commentators have struggled to find things to talk about. At different points they have talked about the grounds crew, tea cups, and the Copa America instead of this game. If England has any hopes of making a run in this tournament, they are going to need to make some changes, up the tempo, and find some urgency.

      From memory, English commentators spoke about cooling gel and relaying the pitch and combination artificial and real turf.

      But I got very drunk watching the game with mates so my testimony can’t be relied upon

    Really lackadaisical start to this game so far. At least when England played Denmark they came out strong before they got lazy. This game they just started that way.

    24 teams killed these last two games, both Denmark and Slovenia only had to play for a draw.

    England being absolutely wank didn’t help either
