A bit like Greece didFrance look like they're trying to bore their way to the trophy
Can't see it myself Otis, they've been poor for a reason. A Welsh win 2-1 I'm thinking.Am thinking Russia might well beat Wales tonight.
With the Russians nationalistic patriotism will be at the forefront and they will go home in shame if they don't qualify.
Really important for Russia to appear strong as a country, so expect a massive rocket up the arse and a blood and thunder performance tonight.
They win and they will be through to the next stage.
I know they have been poor thus far, but expect a much better effort tonight from them.
There was talk this morning of the scenario that if England win tonight they may well face Albania and I'm sure I heard Roy Hodgson quoted somewhere as saying he would like that.Just please let England win.
Does anybody think Albania will get through the group with that win last night, they would be an ideal last 16 opponent surely.
Why would you want tougher opposition? Surely facing Albania would give us more chance of progressing to the quarter final. How is that a bad thing? As we get further on in the tournament we'll face tougher games.There was talk this morning of the scenario that if England win tonight they may well face Albania and I'm sure I heard Roy Hodgson quoted somewhere as saying he would like that.
Personally, I would like England to face tougher opposition. I don't like this hoping for a on easy draw when you are trying to be the best team in Europe.
England should win tonight, but I am a little worried that Hodgson looks like he is going to make major changes for this one. Could backfire on him.
I just don't like us crossing our fingers for a weaker team.Why would you want tougher opposition? Surely facing Albania would give us more chance of progressing to the quarter final. How is that a bad thing? As we get further on in the tournament we'll face tougher games.

Fair point. Can't see us winning it, think we could get to the semis, and that would represent good progress after stinking out the last world cup.I just don't like us crossing our fingers for a weaker team.
If we are going to win the blooming thing we shouldn't be scared of anyone.
Don't mind us playing a weaker team, just don't like our hoping we get one.
Thing is with Kane, word is he is a bit jaded and needs a rest.I think to win a tournament you need a lot of luck along the way and part of that would be to face as many teams you can beat as possible. You're bound to face good teams from the quarters up so get as many wins in as possible against weaker sides before you have to get the luck rolling and great performances against stronger sides.
I hope he doesn't change too much but I can see the benefit of resting a few players tonight, Alli and Walker have put in a tremendous effort over the last week and you don't want to tire them out with natural replacements in Clyne and Wilshire available. Personally I'd be tempted to leave Kane in the team tonight, if we're going to do well we're going to need him scoring at some point and a goal tonight before subbing could do just that. I'd even consider playing Vardy and Sturridge either side of him.

Just seems wrong that you can lose two matches out of three and progress.
Yeah, but three draws means you are undefeated in the group stages. Losing two out of three means you are pretty crap.That can happen when there are just two to qualify (one team wins three games, three teams win one game). Italy qualified second from the 82 WC first round with three draws and ended up winning the whole thing.
With some third place teams going through at least it means there aren't any dead rubbers in the final round of games.
Rooney has played really well in that midfield role, so there is immediate disruption there.Six changes would mostly likely only be four changes from the team that started the second half against Wales. Changing the full backs isn't likely to disrupt the team too much. Plus what are we disrupting exactly? A team that played ok but struggled to make chances and or convert them.
Also come the latter stages we'll be playing a very different game as the level of competition improves. At the moment we are dominating possession and territory. That won't be the case if we play the likes of Germany and Spain.
Agree th full backs and Rooney needed a rest. The team are more than capable of winning against this opposition. Sadly he is there to be shot at if this goes wrong tonightWhether it works or not, fair play to Roy. Took a risk with a view to the latter stages of the tournament
