Greece put up a dismal performence against equally dismal Finland (1-1). Well taken goals but both teams were horrible.

Yeah, I was at the stadium for the game and it was definitely not one to tell future generations about. Expected a lot more from Greece because even though we played like shit we'd have ended up with three points had our substitute striker Pohjanpalo not fucked up that 4 on 1 counter-attack late in the second half. Draw was probably the most fair outcome and as a Finn I'm reasonably happy with the point but for you guys it's a horrible result given the fact you lost the opening game against Romania.

An interesting group either way because there's absolutely no way to predict where each team will end up.

Yup, perfectly fair result. Finland blew it when they had the chance and we... well we cannot even create anything so... Very disappointing for us and it's not looking good.

England dominated to be fair, it's just crappy Rooney who can't finish.

But I'm not interested with England anymore, because it's the same old story. Do very well in qualifiers (while having crappy teams in the group) and when it comes to crunch time in the finals, we struggle and lose.

Thats if we even get to the knock out stages lol.....nawww poor tired Sterling didums....

I lost faith in 1970 when they choked in Mexico ,,, briefly felt good under Joe Mercer ,,, but they are the ULTIMATE

Seriously. He's good, but he tries to do too much and cover for everyone - so inevitably he gets caught badly out of position.

He plays the same way regardless of the quality of opposition. His coaches should have a word with him seriously
