If England's finishing/delivery was better, they would have been 2-0 up at half time. I feel like that's all they're really missing.

It's still potentially any of them although Hungary will sit in for a point against Portugal
Lmao, Gary Cahill is "disappointed" that they didn't win with all the possession that they had. Even I can tell this manager and the pundits that possession means nothing unless you are doing something with. How about actually playing direct, attacking football for once?

How does that compare to the other sides in the tournament?

We are no way as bad as that team
The Albania match still gives me nightmares
So frustrating. I don't think we were terrible. Just not technically good enough to play through or round teams.
Hope we avoid Portugal.
I don't blame hodgson except for the disgrace of bringing and playing Wislhere.

Algeria
Just think, if England had made sure of the win against Russia, and they should have, considering Wales thrashed them 3-0 tonight
Tonight's match would not have been that important
It's the difference between possibly getting Portugal or Albania in the next match
England (as always) do things, the hard way

sticking it in the net is the hardest part of the game, where are we going to get a Ronaldo or Messi from ?

Funny thing is he might have given us a better game. At least he's an actual winger.
As said previously I think James Milner would've been good here with all the poor crossing we had on display.

No idea. Fair enough, the opposition parked the bus but we should be good enough to get past it, or at least ask more question of the keeper who didn't have much to do all night.

Yes they have to aviod Portugal who will suddenly find form no doubt .
The quarters is the sealing at a push
oh well better than Losing I guess. looks to be either iceland or portugal in the last 16, bad news is the france likely await in the quarter finals should we get past that, but there was little hope of getting past the quarter finals anyway.

Perfect analysis.
I agree with you.
We never really tested their keeper enough, there was that shot in the first half and then nothing at all after that.
Just terrible all round really.
Agree with Bilic. Possession is nothing unless you have quality in the final third.
Wrighty's punditry has been poor this tournament.
