Euro 2016

I don't wish to generalise but my wife who didn't watch the game, said the England players earn enough money to win, and a lady in the office said exactly the same thing this morning. The ironic thing being, the lady who works in the office is massively overpaid!

Not sure that England are the highest paid squad.

I wouldn't know. They must be close?

Close, but I would imagine Spain are some distance in front.

Roy is the highest paid manager I believe.

Anyone think Northern Ireland might pull off a shock today?

Yeah.... they might only lose by 2 goals

[budgetmeansbudget]

A Gerry Armstrong type 1-0 victory!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Vardy will start again hopefully.

A few good lay offs and closed down well, but not much in the area, or getting space away from his markers. Less anonymous than Kane in the first game. Maybe there isn't anyone in the squad who is going to come in and make a big difference, so the what-if of shuffling the team isn't going to make much difference?

Will Ireland do a Slovakia and sit back? Be interesting to see how Germany get on if they do.

Are you really asking that question? I assume Ireland will not even attempt to put a person in Germany's half, let alone go looking for goals.

[Aidan11]

They'll get slaughtered then.


They're playing the Germans, not England.

You're probably right. A point for Ireland and they're through.....I think?

Yes. I believe so

Germany already had two 1-1 opportunities.....

Probably worth mentioning that the team England failed to beat last night only two weeks ago smashed the German's 3-1 away and also beat Spain in the qualifiers. Wales also beat Belgium in the qualifiers. And Russia finished third in the Euro's last time round didnt they?

These teams are all better than Northern Ireland.

[sussexpob]

Germany doing an excellent England impression so far. Creating but not finishing

[mikesiva]

Germany always looked like scoring in this first half...McGovern had so much work to do in the Northern Ireland goal.
