Euro 2016 Fantasy Football Live Match Chat – The Group Stages
And we’re very nearly there. Just a bit of last minute tinkering before it all begins and another summer of wondering when England will be home will be over in about a week or so! We’ve opened the discussion a bit early so feel free to post up those last minute Rate My Teams and post any questions you have on any of the squads or potential team selections. We are blessed with a truly international community so we are sure you will get some answers to almost any concern you may have. Questions regarding what the Dutch are doing this summer are summarily banned though. Oh ok, who are we kidding. First to get Raz to come out from under his anti-Euro blanket wins a t-shirt!
As ever, just as with FPL – post your scores, your match comments, your highs, your lows or just whatever you’re about to have for dinner. Don’t forget that you can make team changes daily with captains altered as well as line-up swaps as no doubt the site screwing up your changes as per every year but either way get involved as usual. It’s sure to be a fun ride. And please, please, whatever you do – don’t let Init win it again…

The hell is Kane still on corners for?!
Woy has obviously been hanging out with LVG!!
Should definitely be Phil Jones on em.
Russia are so bad they’ve made England look good.
I’m always our first detractor but we’ve played really well!
Russia made ye look good and he still couldn’t win!
*ye
Yeah, I was very impressed with how we played tonight as well, shame about the late goal as that could have gone anywhere.
Agreed, Wales are gonna beat them.
Somewhat thrown away
Yeah, by the manager via squad / team selection!
NIN you were right about Sterling
You’re all mental
Whys that Cc?
Because that’s the best I’ve seen us play for years. Don’t know what game everyone else was watching.
Don’t worry CC you’ll wake up soon!!
My kids fell asleep watching it! Literally.
They were the lucky ones
So it’s the best England have played in years yet they couldn’t beat one of the weakest Russian sides in a long time… interesting.
It’s all relative I guess NIN but CC just likes an argument! From where I was sitting I saw what I thought I would see – a functional performance against a poor Russian team. Nothing exciting from our end. A 1-0 victory in the bag and not enough intelligence to see that out to its logical conclusion. Pretty poor all told. Pretty much what we all expected.
Like I said, mental! We were pressing when normally we’re content to stay 10ft off the ball at all times. We didn’t just do the usual pass along the back 4 for a minute and good it upfield to no one in particular either.
Not saying it was a tournament-winning performance but compared with the drivel I’ve become accustomed to watching it was a breath of fresh air!
Yeah, worked really well. Zzzzzzzzz…..,
Okay but does it not frustrate that the result still didn’t come, and that it most likely would have if the team was set right? I’m not even English and it annoys me
Past caring mate. Read Article B for evidence
All I care about in this tournament is my team. #teaminit 😉
I really think it was an awful team selection. Just awful. I seen most of the game but i cant think of one player that the system got the best out of. Not one.
Nothing new there mate
Still better than Ireland though, just :hippo:
And they still got one point
England have to get Vardy and Wilshere on that pitch from the start. At the expense of La Llama and Raheeeem.
I actually thought Lallana was one of your better players tonight.
Only saw the last 25mins but if we can’t even play our best players….
Cookie , what formation? Crazy amount of questions going into a tournament. Could you pick say 10 of the team beforehand? No. Pick the formation? Nope.
Bottled the Rooney call. Personally think Sturridge shud play ( and not Vardy) in a 4:4:2.
Dreamers, Sturridge is another, you’re right. Formation I’ll be honest and say I’m not sure about. But let’s be honest, and as much as I give him stick during the season, Wheelchair is our most talented midfielder. Yet we don’t play him.
It’s been proven that kane only does well when Dembele plays with him, so try and replicate that somehow.
No-one can convince me that La Llama is worthy of a start. Sterling is dog shit and only ever looked good alongside Suarez.
That was a Glushakov goal! #disgrace 😉
Dier should only get 5 for that goal as well as they’ve misclassified him as a mid. E-mail sent
Been reverted back to 6 now mate, so whatever you said it had the desired result, ta
Evening all, i’ve not been around as i’m mad busy. There is only one thing to say about Engerland.
:big-lol:
:big-lol:
But you said it twice
So. Don’t matter how many times you say it. Its the same old story. :p
Indeed Elle. I’m bored of them also.
