Glad Wales got the winner, purely to keep my dreams of winning a £22 accumulator alive

Little concerned about Roys choice of line up for us though....... GLad I didn't put them in it!

Which annoys the hell out of me! People refer to Rooney's International record as being really good. But look at some of the teams hes scored again, and then look at the team hes hasn't managed to score against.

I think it's fair to say Wales had some serious luck along the way today but fair play to them

That was horrific. It was like a warzone. Police tear gassing English fans for singing whilst local kids were present. Police then penned in English, locals and some Russians around 100 yards away from there which is where we were. Russian ultras/hooligans came walking down a side street towards the us wearing balaclavas whilst holding knives and batons stabbing and hitting anyone that they could. Including some near us eating pizza, sitting have a chat and a drink. The guys that charged at them looked round and nobody could get out. Someone had to do something as the police were more interested in tear gassing those singing further up and penning everyone in (which meant we were all lambs to the slaughter) so they grabbed tables chairs etc and charged up the side street to try to hold them off. Russians fought their way through and then broke off into separate groups. After pushing the wife into a bar who would close their door me and two or three others in our group along with various other English then spent the next 20-30 mins picking people up and giving first aid. Police were useless and did nothing to help. Very few medics around to help too. Two looked in a very bad way with stab wounds and other trauma. Countless others that were covered in blood belonging to them and others.

Never experienced anything that bad! 2018 could be even worse.

Hope you and the wife have a safe trip.

Every clip i see shows average England fans being attacked in an organised fashion by proper highly organised Russian thugs who appear to be trying to kill people, worse than any of the boorish yobbery you usually associate with english fans

Keep safe CJ
On the game itself the Russians look extremely well Marshalled, we're struggling to find space.

England line-up obviously arranged solely to make room for Rooney. But we've played well so far (15 mins) with a couple of clear-cut chances missed. Kane still taking corners! Must be the only one who can.

Sterling right through on goal but Russian defender makes magnificent tackle just as Sterling is about to shoot. He should have cut inside. England looking very lively and creating lots of chances ... but missing them. This could go on and on and then Russia score.

Why do we persist with Kane on corners? You'd think you'd want him in the middle with his height and scoring record

Has Harry Kane had a touch yet apart from corner taking.
Get the second striker on, that defence will eat him up Solo

Am surprised we don't have someone up with Kane. Alli is trying but he's not a striker.

Half-time 0-0. England had at least 3-4 clear-cut chances to score and Russia one. England well on top but unable to score. I can see this being decided by a single goal, either way. Watching this game live with Spanish commentary as the English channel has it on tape delay.

Worrying.

England playing well, but their finishing is poor. Everything dragged wide or hit straight at the keeper. Alli and Sterling reluctant to shoot at times.

You have to score when you are on top. Can't believe Russia will be so inept in the second half.

Shame, cos we are playing well.

Really strong performance but need two men in the box, sterling and llanna are playing well but we need a striker. I would give it 20 mins then take sterling off for vardy. Rooney playing very well

It was very impressive, the pressing and closing down when we didn't have the ball was excellent

A lot better than I expected us to be.

Rooney seems well up for it.

No movement from England. Everyone standing still. To open up a defence you need movement.

It's been a bit like a friendly.

In the first half even with the pressure there wasn't much urgency.

Sterling had the ball and stood still for 2 or 3 seconds.
