Almost drowned out the twats. Almost
These moronic culture warriors clearly have issues, misrepresenting an anti racism gestures as Marxist insurrection
Could it be they have unacknowledged or barely suppressed racist feelings?
Booing is widely understood to indicate racism. Even if that's not what's meant, the managers and players have said that's how they understand it. It also gives cover for actual racists.
Shame to be talking about this after a solid victory and an encouraging if low key performance

Other than a good wee bit of skill leading to the goal, that was the most boring match of the competition so far It wasn't much of a spectacle but Croatia seemed happy to play for the draw. At this stage result is everything. That Wales v Switzerland game was pretty dull too. Agreed, the Wales game was dull but this was worse. Other than the opening chance and the goal England were terrible. However,they were miles better than the Croats who had no vision on how to switch play. Their passing was woeful too. As for Kane, he was just a lazy lump leading the line and did nothing and missed a total sitter. Only in the second half there were glimmers of a more expansive game. Entertainment value:2/10.

The Netherlands v Ukraine.
Best game so far and 2 exceptional goals by the Ukraine.
However, their keeper made a right arse of everything.๐ค

Scottish schoolchildren to watch Euro game in class. Fifty years ago it would have been the cane, strap or slipper for misbehaviour.

That's what Croatia do Stiffle the opposition to control the game and then rely on moments of brilliance It got them to the World Cup Final Good to see England keep their shape and deal with it Not much fun to watch but has worked for Croatia Scotland and Czech Rep must be feeling quite positive The Netherlands v Ukraine. Best game so far and 2 exceptional goals by the Ukraine. However, their keeper made a right arse of everything.๐ค Fun fun fun As Gary Nev said, like watching a bunch of under nines all just chasing the ball. No tactics
Looking forward to seeing Scotland and Czech Rep later

Isn't it. Especially the bit at about 1 minute 30 seconds where the players interviews begin

Other than a good wee bit of skill leading to the goal, that was the most boring match of the competition so far. The Croats were terrible, no invention and a complete lack of finishing. Funny how most of the people who oppose'taking the knee' are all white. Says it all really. The only player to refuse to do it in the top flight is black himself though, Wilf Zaha. Just don't think the matter is as cut and dried as people make out. As with Brexit, we can't just keep on labelling everyone we disagree with as racists even if a good chunk are, as you alienate so many good people and potential supporters. Just don't like blanket statements about people. As Zaha says, it's just become a meaningless ritual.

Taking a Knee is an act of solidarity with black people who are being systematically murdered by the police. It's not much to ask for is it? As for Brexit? If people oppose freedom of movement you shouldn't be naive enough to think that it isn't racist. Personally, I would open the doors to everyone. Seeing as the south of England is the most prosperous part of the country, it would be good for the economy.

Even though I don't like Clarke and the Scotland teams style of play. After England's boring, turgid performance yesterday, any team will think they are there for the taking๐

You seem very down on their chances now
Fail to get out of the group? Lose to Scotland? Lose to Czech Republic?
What's your guess?

As England are in the 2nd tier of world football and given the nature of Sunday's performance I would say this. They have to dramatically improve if they are to get anywhere in the competition. They will get out of the group stage but as winners?It isn't guaranteed. Scotland will be lucky to get 3rd as Clarke is too cautious and negative.
