[Closed] Euro 2016 begins!

I didn't realise there were so many po faced football haters on STW. Just going to hide in this thread for a bit.

*lobs chair at binners*

Are you new here? You'll get used to the people who tend to favour watching homo-erotic egg-chasing getting all snippy.

**** 'em! 😀

Gone for Alli for an assist as well. As long as Woy doesn't play at left back, or something daft!

*hurls bottle at Bongohoohaa*

😀

Rogan josh and naan half eaten - still to choose beer or wine

Let the disappointment begin.....

I reckon Woy is going to go balls out and we're about to see an absolute demolition of an understrength Russian side.

Which will be followed by a complete catastro**** on the streets of Marseille.

*syncs up BBC radio to ITV pictures*

Cannot decide if i want your hopes to be dashed immediately or whether schadenfreude is better served with you building up your hopes till it goes to penalties in the semis...Roys line up looks like he has struggled with the same dilemma 😉

May the great journey of dissapointment begin 🙂

I used to defend like this when I played under-7s. Everyone just chasing the ball 😀

1966 already mentioned and the Russian Goalkeeper's top is lovely.

Class.

Sorry, Harry. I have just knackered you.

Playing great so far

aye, good start.

Great....and the commentators "brilliant"

What is it about footsie, that makes people use adjectives not adverbs??? 😉

As a football fan I don't care for your fancy words, teamhurtmore.

Lalalalalalaaanananana should have 2.

He played bad there. Should have shot gooder.

Shame 😉

Why in sweet shitting christ is Kane on korners?

That Wales game was great entertainment, the England one is crap as always.

I wouldn't say it's crap per se....maybe slow starting.

It's not a crap game at all!

Agreed, it's a great game so far! England playing better than I've seen for a long while

Great dominance and pressure from England...they really ought to be going in one up here.

aye, should be 1 if not 2 up for the pressure.

Best game of tournament so far! England very dominant, just need that finish.

I thought £20 for England to score in the first half at 3/1 was worth it.

I guess not 😀

What is the ****ing point of Sterling? He'll sprint the length of the pitch with the ball, then...

Erm.... what's supposed to happen now...?

Useless!

Other than that... Looking good, but like it might be 'one of those games'. The Spurs squad look great. Apart from when they're inexplicably taking corners

England very dominant, just need that finish.

Haha.. your new at this.

Let someone else take the corners please.

Mixed feelings, clearly a very good half but no goals, we need a chance to fall for Kane.

On corners we now know Kane can kick the ball a long way, ie right over the far side 😳

What on earth is Sterling doing in the side, for balance ? If so its 'kin lopsided.

Changes ... he won't be brave enough to bring on Vardy for Sterling .. not yet anyway

The Spurs squad look great. Apart from when they're inexplicably taking corners

😀

Lets face it you'd rather have Spurs taking the corners than defending them

And more importantly, what the **** is going on with...

A) Graham Taylor's hair/wig?
B) Peter Crouches teeth?

Kane taking the corners reminds me of playing kids football when the manager's son got to play up front and take all the corners, free kicks and pens. He'll be taking the goal kicks too in the second half.
Vardy for sterling second half. Let's have someone who knows what to do with the ball after they've skinned everyone.

ITV football 🙁

Right, a bit late to the party but I'm in place for the second half onslaught...Cmon ENGLAND!

(Might need to bring on Wilshere to get the win) 😆

@binners you are just jealous he plays for the only team in Manchester . Great player is Sterling .

Why didn't Sterling blast that?

Harry Kane on free kicks like this? 😕

Why didn't Sterling bury it! FFS!

Because he'd rather fail to trap it

That was not mint by Sterling. He should have just pound-ed it in. I guess you can bank on him missing.

BTW God Save the Queen is cool, on her maj's official birthday 'n all

Ok...Sterling first to be hooked?

The longer this goes on, the more I think Russia will nick a goal.

nope. It s a terrible dirge, worst song in history.

Even with my rubbish French I can understand the commentators are saying "Sterling strange selection"

[i]Interesting[/i] by Dier.

....which sounds like an aftershave.

This is starting to feel like the traditional opening game of an England major championship attempt.

Russia to score in 73rd minute. Mass desperate substitutions, 1-0 loss, injury to key player...

Oh great...here comes the band.

Nooooooo...not the ****ing band.

Nice to see Chris Froome in goal for England1 🙂

I swear ITV are watching a different game to me.

"Defended magnificently"

"Excellent cross to Lalanna"

Etc.

Also, find their bias, even as an Englishman, a bit hard to take.

"England have 25 minutes to get their just desserts" 😐

People must bear in mind it's not the end of the world if we don't get a result in this game. I'd much prefer to see good football played.
1st place in this group gets a 3rd place team (and not group e). 2nd gets 2nd of f. Assuming Portugal win f, that's an extremely easy way to 1/4s.

"England have 25 minutes to get their just desserts"

You see, I interpreted that differently to you. 😀

As Sterling gives it away yet again....

AGAIN STERLING RUNS INTO A ****ING CUL-DE-SAC!!!

You see, I interpreted that differently to you.

Heh 😀

jebus! 😆

Jeez...that save.

there ye go, bout time! 😆

Patience is a virtue

Nice

Wooh

'Justice for the England 11' 🙄

Yay

"Justice for the 11" .....Oh, ITV.

Ok. Which mad renegade had Dier scoring the first goal?

ONION SACK

Great strike but that's poor from the keeper. 🙂

Boom! Shake the room . . .

ALL ABOARD THE DIER HYPE TRAIN!

*kicks Sterling off the train*

*puts hand over mouth to cheer*

England Wales shaping up to be a cracker

Hopefully we can get another one, put this game to bed, and get on with the serious business, rucking.

Sterling - much better 70 min sub imo. His running at tired players and attacking style is useful to change things a bit

nice to see wiltshire on the pitch now who could have predicted that eh

Jamby to the forum 😛

Sterling....again....running.....just....running....

There is going to be an epic Sterling highlights edit after tonight, yet another run ending in a total shambles

Sterling....again....running.....just....running....

Run [s]Forrest[/s] Sterling, Run!

"Smoke candle"

Guess that's a flare?

Good to see the stadium security found all the explosives. 😯

Hellooo.... Waves to all the Scotland supporters watching the footy..... 😆

Ah James Milner is on

Well that's a bit of a bugger

That's why I cashed out with 5 mins to go. Least I got some of my dirty loot.

****'s sake.

Edit: Shut up Glen Hoddle. England don't deserve shit, for defending like that.
