Will Silkyman defend Hart now? Good goalkeeper but nowhere near the elite level.

Frustrating. Sweden were awful and we were the much better side. I was really impressed with Hendrick. Best game he's had for us. We should never have sat back after the goal. Invited necessary pressure which ultimately led to the goal. Belgium are very beatable.

Now, now. :lac: I wanted Northern Ireland to do well. They obviously aren't blessed with quality, but they should have given it more of a go. There was a real lack of ambition.

Great to see Bastian score.

The Russian's seem to be trained in fighting. I imagine a lot of them might do some MMA/Boxing training. All wearing black also, definitely an organised group of some sort.

He was very dodgy. Nearly slipped on his arse overthinking a clearance and hit Smalling with a kick out also.

France are struggling. Another major concern has to be the fact there's been a few games were flares/fireworks have been brought in.

Ukraine will beat NI too.

Northern Ireland are worse than I anticipated. Zero ambition shown. Germany will beat them easy, so I don't see why they aren't showing more attacking intent in this game. Also, Paddy McNair supposedly playing off the striker. :ffs:

I don't think McClean will start. He's a workhorse but not the most talented. Gibson was not chosen to come to the tournament as he's played barely any football. We have better midfield options. Other than the Zlatan factor, we're well matched.

i didn't think Rooney looked any more tired than the other players. Sure he slowed down, but he was still keeping the ball well and dictating. Sterling and Vardy on the counter could have been very useful.

They were. If we keep Zlatan quiet, we stand a chance. It should be a good game anyway. Do Sweden find any Irish players particularly threatening?

Why was Rooney taken off aswell? He was excellent.

I don't claim to be a manager, but it was painfully obvious that Vardy should have came on there.

That is an awful Russia side. Shocking result for England. Side note: Serious threat of ISIS. Russian fans still able to bring flares/firecrackers in...

I was confident enough until Sweden thumped Wales.

Martial was the best player on the pitch.

Unbelievable.
