I quite fancy Slovakia to win this one. And hope they do. I know a draw would be the best result for England, but right now I'd take satisfaction in seeing the Russians lose a game.
Me too, but they're playing quite deep. I don't understand why, this is probably their best chance to try and get the win they badly need.

All a bit uninspiring so far.

The sort of game which would be enlivened by commercial breaks.

Yeah, they should be going for this one knowing they play England last. I reckon they will attack more in the 2nd half though. Both teams should find a lot more space (hopefully!).

There's been only 3 goals scored in their last 4 meetings.
and so far you can see why...

Mark Lawrenson - "Someones been doodling on his neck"
I bet he laughs at his own jokes too

Mowbray: "Just to reiterate the game is being played under a closed roof. It's not the middle of the night"

Russia poor and on top. Last thing I need is Mark Lawrenson's depressing delivery, thank goodness for the red button options.

I came to post that he looks like either his or his families life has been threatened.
After seeing the coach again I am convinced this is true.

Good game so far, both teams could do with the win, so hopefully that cancels each other out, and we end up with a draw!

Good play by Slovakia but terrible defending by Russia. Let's hope that gives this match a badly needed lift.

Excellent!!!

He found it far too easy to fool two defenders though. They should've known coming inside was all he was going to do in that situation.

Yeah, the one on the inside should have backed up but stayed inside instead of following out.

It was very poor defending for the goal, but it was great control from Weiss, a goal that was fully deserved on the balance of play I think.

Great counter ruined by an awful pass.

Could have done with this no nonsense ref in the Portugal/ Iceland game.

If Slovakia win this (as seems most likely), then that means England will go into the Wales game in third place, and the pressure will really be on to have to beat Wales, as a draw would still keep in third place.

That might make them sloppy and easier to handle.
