They would not have scored and equaliser if Woy hadn't made dumb subs and told us to sit back.

I do beg your pardon - I did not hear him tell the team to sit back. Did he really?

Very true. That late goal has perhaps skewed opinions of England’s performance, which was actually pretty decent overall. England controlled the match well enough and had plenty of chances, even though they only drew, but that's the drama of football for you.

they didnt really sit back but were rubbish subs we had them on the rack rooney had a good game i would have replaced stirling with Vardy and tried getting a 2nd we definately sat back after about 80 mins

I was complaining about Kane on Corners and why after Dier had scored from a free kick Kane then decided to have one which he skyed

Yes, as Peter Crouch said last night, England have had poor performances in the opening matches of tournaments, but this time although the match was a draw it wasn't a poor performance.

Still think they wouldn't want to be struck off Putin's Christmas card list if they threw Russia out...mind you the IOC won't be getting a Christmas card from him will they?

France is on high terror alert, but somehow flare guns and fireworks were allowed into the stadium. Well done French police!

All well and good, but UEFA need investigating too. Such an appalling lack of segregation and policing inside the stadium.

Seriously hope Will Griggs can score for NI today

The IAAF were the ones that have banned Russia track and field athletes from the Olympics in rio.

The Russian minister should up comedy, he is claiming with there were no violent scenes in the stadium.

this the 4th euro championship group match where Russian supporters been violent. in euro 2012 they were fined £150k and given a suspended 6point deduction for the euro 2016 qualifiers.
