Watched first half of Serbia/Sweden. Whilst Serbia don't look anything special, they are big/strong and athletic, tidy in possession and quick on the counter, a bit like Iceland but offer slightly more. Played a mix between a high press and a medium block, which could change against England of course. Serbs 1 up.
Watching Croatia/Portugal now. The Croatians are very well organized, the ever youthful Modric is everywhere and they play with a purpose of trying to get the ball fwd quickly in a controlled fashion. The pork and cheese are all over the place at the moment, Croats 1 up, dodgy penalty

Forget it. England is a third rate sporting nation.

There was no hope after that disastrous 2nd over from Jacks.It's the hope that kills you.
Australia had a plan for bowling to each batsman and for their general line and length.
Despite the many analysts we had no plan and just kept pace on the ball which, for an Australian batsman, is akin to feeding a pig strawberries.
Niave,weak,acquiescent leadership.
Similar to the Euro champions elect methinks.

That's the way I saw it. More out coached than out played.
I went to the dronfield beer festival yesterday after visiting the mrs it was already planned and lad said I need to get out more
so missed it all only found score out this morning and sounded like a comprehensive beating So englands World Cup defence is technically over and only a week to wait for the footy players 4 matches this summer is bowling along at a furious pace

Hope you had a good day out Bully- you missed nowt and now we're relying on the weather and/or an unlikely set of results to get through one of which is Scotland v Aus where the Jocks will want to lose narrowly to scupper our chances.I went to the dronfield beer festival yesterday after visiting the mrs it was already planned and lad said I need to get out more

I'd have gone there myself Bully but we were in Whitby. Ended up watching from the back end of their innings on Sky Go on my iPad when I realised there were no highlights on terrestrial TV. That's something that seems to have crept in quietly this year without any comment. The highlights are only being shown by the station that covered the series live and so are only available to their subscribers.I went to the dronfield beer festival yesterday after visiting the mrs it was already planned and lad said I need to get out more

No not in view it depends on the time of day I was there from about 4 till half 6 I was behind those trees next to one of the food outlets ( no I didn’t have any not at those prices
Are you on there Bully???
) or when the group (britpop resurrection) was on when this was probably taken I just the other side of that first canopyCan’t remember what the first pub was called it was the first one we hit out of the station spent a good few hrs in the beer garden there and saw a couple of groups who were both decent
Love Whitby I miss going (it’s not very wheelchair friendly took the mrs once in her chair first and last)I'd have gone there myself Bully but we were in Whitby.

Shame, Hansen always came across well and talked sense, and now we have Alex Ross.
