Germany just coasting, not making hard work of things.
Hodgson is delusional.
Hodgson suggested someone would be on the wrong end of hiding from England soon.
"We are not doomed yet. We're not doomed to penalties. We're not doomed to not take our chance," he said.
"Soon we will make someone pay. We will score goals one day. The way we are playing we are not frightened of anybody."

Wholeheartedly disagree!! I thought in all three games we played some good stuff, particularly the first 45 against Russia and the second 45 against Wales. Yesterday we couldn't get past 9 defenders and a goalkeeper, they showed no intent to attack and just sat deep to stop the pace of Vardy and Sturridge from getting behind. The thing is from now on teams cannot do that, its now knockout and teams will have to attack rather than park the bus, so our pace should be a much better weapon particularly on the break. Of course that will also expose our defence as well and while they have looked solid so far we really haven't seen them tested much by any of the teams we played.

Croatia take a late lead against Spain!! If that sticks then it means the Spain come into our half of the draw but will play Italy in the last 16, so one of them will be gone!!

Croatia win. My sweep at work still looks good.

I don't think England were even in the Wales game until the 60th minute. I'll agree we haven't been woeful but I haven't seen much of this nice stuff either. Plenty of stuff to bore you to sleep though.
Fortunately for us, it seems Spain among others have been embarrassing themselves thus creating a bit of misdirection. I think if one of the big teams bows out before we do it'll make England look better and Woy will get his contract extension by default.
