A minute of that will be shots of the royal family lookalikes in the crowd.

I know it's nothing new but strawberry float me England are so wasteful in possession. We're already starting to look like Liverpool under roy. Such an unimaginative, nothing, pointlessly safe appointment.

They're just so slow and lazy on the counter-attack. It's something that makes Spain/Brazil/Argentina/Portugal exciting to watch.

Actually, would it be fair to say that they play similarly to Germany, but just much less efficient? That may be way off the mark, but I'm no tactics-whiz

You'd certainly hope so.

Good to see.

Mertens got more applause when he went off. :lol:

Exactly.

Id rather take that than losing gloriously like weve done a few times... I can't take the hurt anymore

England a tough nut to crack under Hodgson? :roll:

More to do with the woeful finishing from Norway and Belgium rather than good defending. I'm not an England fan, but I was really looking forward to seeing England under Redknapp. This is just boring :(

Yep, but can't really ask much more given he's only been manager for two games. We haven't made any real progress for over a decade afterall.

With regards to Lambert, glad we've got someone sorted. My focus is on the Euros for the moment, but I'm looking forward to seeing some changes at Villa next season.

Yes lotus, great signing, glad I got my season ticket early :)

Looking for another winger, couple of CM, another defender and someone to partner bent up front.

He's another really good, solid appointment. Interested to see who he brings into the side.

I wish him all the worst possible luck and hope Villa get relegated. I'm sure they won't though.
