a little over 10 mins now and the team's unchanged

 

[sully]

Yay.

We will win!!

 

[Scoffers]

Listening to the commentary on the radio, we sounds as though we are going to lose.

Misplaced passed - giving the ball away, sounds pretty poor

 

[Beach Hut]

1 - 0 Rooney

 

[curbstheman]

get in the morton

 

[Scoffers]

you see, as soon as I said we were playing pants, Rooney scored. He's the youngest player ever to score in the euro champs!!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Get BEHIND the Swiss defence and their weakness are exposed. Run at them head-on and they turn out to be as good as any defence at dispossessing the attacking player.

Absolutely correct.

Bernd Haas is a case in point. He can't defend the ball over his head. In fact he's RUBBISH unless he's attacking. Unfortunately he's had plenty of chances to do exactly that.

Crap Game

Not very fluent game at all. Saying that, most late afternoon games have been pretty crap. Don't read too much into it, just gald we got 3 points.

Defence looked fairly solid again; only problem was we conceeded too many free kicks around the box.

Bring on Croatia.

ditto

very poor at times

so chuffed for rooney

i despair of owen for the last 2 years

i am starting to think its better when we meet teams like france or argentina, we seem to raise our game to an acceptable level of international football

very happy though

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The one consistent theme to emerge from Euro 2004 so far is ...

... when Switzerland are playing, it is a VERY BORING game.

At least we won't have to watch them live against France.

 

[Beach Hut]

Swiss are the most boring team ever.

3 points, much needed morale booster

 

[Strike]

Yippee great win. What a funny name in Bernd Haas.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Job done but very unconvincing I thought until the last few minutes. England nearly bored me to death. Why are we so negative?

We were negative but are in div 1.We won 3-0 is that negative ?
Why do we always have to look on the dark side ?
