I mean completely useless. What is the point of person 2 metres away? Stupid stupid Uefa.

Well that I didn’t expect. England winning the group. But Italy are the better team. Can’t see getting past them

Still don’t know why he is insisting on playing Milner. I don’t think we’ll get past Italy, providing they do turn up. Rather frustrated at the lack of service for centre forwards. I don’t see us winning games by many goals. Boring? Yes. Effective? Maybe.

Yes I agree certainly appeared to be well over. However really interesting that the extra goal line official was so close to that and yet didn’t see it, I understand that the extra goal line official is Platini’s idea as he is opposed to using goal line technology, be interesting to interview him after that to get his views now.

Yes I keep scratching my head thinking about Milners inclusion, I cannot say that I was really studying his contribution throughout the game last night but I wonder whether he is considered a better option as he can provide more protection for the defence, he’s certainly workmanlike but not shown an awful lot of creativity as yet. But to be fair to Hodgson he has not inherited the greatest of squads, his tweaking and getting them playing to their strengths is to be applauded, looking forward to the knockout stages and to see how we line up against Italy.

Believe Ian, believe. We haven’t played particularly well but we’ve taken seven points from nine and won a group that I guess most neutrals would have expected the French side to have won considering their form going into this tournament. At least with the Italians you sort of know what to expect, yes it is a tall order but so was winning the group.
