The first decent team we play will beat us. Our defence, Cahill and Hart in particular look like rabbits caught in the headlights every time the game moves in their direction. We play some decent stuff going forward at times but our defence seems to revert to conference standard in these big competitions. Hart must be the worst regular goalkeeper England have ever had.
Goalkeeper and center backs was always our strong suit, but not any more. Apart from that eveything is rosy.

Whilst I do agree in part with a lot of what you say (the defence is the major worry!) (don't agree with Hart thing - 1 mistake he's made - he's a good keeper), I will point out that Russia created between 0-2 GOOD chances against our defence depending on your opinion. Wales created 0 (ZERO) clear goalscoring opportunities against us. That's pretty much fact rather than opinion I'd say. Point is, they've done well. Yes, they will probably struggle against a better team, but credit where it's due, we've looked SO SOLID CREW in the first 2 games... Tonight, I fear, will be different as Slovakia are better than Wales & Russia going forward. COME ON ENGLAND :clap2:

Chris Woods, David James, Paul Robinson - to name but 3. Hart's better than them by a distance.

Albania are asking UEFA to pay their hotel costs while they wait to see if they get through. Fair enough. Four nights unnecessarily would cost them a few thousand pounds. Money that Albanian football just does not have. The whole system in this tournament is a joke. I don't think they'll get through with just three points and a goal difference of -2.

Italy beating Rep of Ireland, and Belgium beating Sweden, PLUS Hungary beating Portugal, and Austria failing to win against Iceland.

These two scenarios would see Albania through.

Germany giving Northern Ireland and a good hiding and/or England walloping Slovakia would help Albania too.

Far from a done deal.
